The Crags is directly opposite Pollock Halls and so you would expect it to be filled to the rafters with students; apparently it used to be. My experience of The Crags has been somewhat different. It looks as if the emphasis has changed now from pub to grub as certainly they aren't looking to drag in the students by the barrel load anymore. \nThe drinks prices are fairly high for a pub that is best described as shabby. It generally smells like toilet cleaner and the lighting is so dim I'm surprised people manage to find their way out again after a couple of pints(people normally leave at this point as once they have forked out \u00a33.50 per pint their wallet is a bit lighter than expected). \nThe staff are unbelievably rude and obnoxious to the point that it's actually quite funny and you wonder whether they are actually trying to shoo away pesky students so they can sell food to more sophisticated clientele. \nI really am trying to limit my visits here to when I can't be bothered trekking across town to a more student friendly pub.
