One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: Not listed

This small, high-ceilinged single bar was a men-only bastion until the Sex Discrimination Act 1975 obliged the admission of women. Even now there is no ladies toilet because there is no room for one. The bar counter and gantry probably date back to the early 20th century and originally went round the back of the room until these parts were removed to create more customer space. The top part of the gantry is supported by Ionic columns. The panelling covering the walls is believed to be old but the date is unknown.

General information about historic pub interiors

This small high ceilinged single bar was one of the last men only bars in Scotland having refused admission to women until forced to by the Sex Discrimination Act of 1975. Even today it still does not have a ladies toilet – there is not room to add one – and you will notice on the inner door the notice that warns customers of this fact – even the gents toilet takes up a large part of the available space.

The bar counter and gantry are old, possibly dating from the early 20th century, and originally went around the rear of the room but the back parts were removed in c.1980 to create more space for customers. The top part of the gantry is held up by Ionic columns and only one fridge has replaced part of the lower shelving. The wall are covered with panelling which is believed to be old, date unknown. Opens at 10am and busy within minutes.
