Pub and music venue with extensive outdoor seating.

The Twa Tams first opened as a music haunt in November 1975 and is currently in the hands of the Mad Ferret Band musicians Sandy Stirton and Chris Woods, who took over in May 2019.

Having featured some big names in Scottish music over the years, Tams has become Perth's premier music venue, with folk, jazz, rock or soul bands and soloists on stage most nights.

Atmospheric bar with beamed low ceiling, illuminated stage, and large outdoor drinking area. Three handpulls with at least one real ale and usually a cider too. Some uncertainty about opening hours and food times.

Historic Interest

Formerly an army commandant's house. Founded in 1975 as a music pub by the original twa Tams - two local lads George Thomas Craic & Martin Thomas Sweeney.
