Excellent vibrant and friendly community pub dating from 1902, reopened in February 2022 after being under threat of redevelopment and a rare outlet for real ale in Tranent. The high ceiling gives it an airy feel and there is also an attractive three-bay gantry. TV sport is an all-day feature. No longer serving food (May 2024).

One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: Not listed

A single-storey terracotta stone pub built 1902 and still with a lot of original fittings in the stand-up bar. It has a splendid three-bay back gantry incorporating a large 'Livingstone's Malt Whisky' mirror in the centre. The pub has been subject to two significant refurbishments. Shortly after long-serving licensee James Inglis took over in 1948, a jug bar and snug on the right were removed, the long bar counter shortened and some ply panelling added to the walls of the bar. In addition, a lounge, complete with a new small counter and gantry, was created in the room on the left. New owners in 2002 refurbished the lounge and removed the 1950s bar counter and gantry. There is a good collection of brewery and whisky mirrors.
