The pub is a traditional under tenement one-room bar. It has a central island servery which does not leave much room on either side. There is banquette seating in three corners with a tall table and toilet door in rear right hand side corner. There are occasional stools around the servery. Claims to be the oldest pub in Greenock. In the book "Scotland’s True Heritage Pubs" (CAMRA).

One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: Not listed

Town centre locals' pub of classic island bar-style with only a narrow area around it for drinkers. Apart from repainting, it has remained much as it is today for over 50 years. It retains an island counter at least 70 years old, with a replacement top, and a modest island gantry. The porch has a terrazzo floor which is also the material used for the old spittoon trough around the bar. There is a good cornice and the whole room has old dado panelling. The only significant change in the past 50 years is the adding of a ladies' toilet. Popular with Celtic fans.
