Established in 1870, this historic pub boasts a vibrant ambiance, featuring live music and quizzes. In addition to a diverse selection of real ales it also serves a number of bottle conditioned Belgian beers. Housed in a former ship chandler's establishment, the building has a regionally significant interior, notably retaining a rare Jug bar. Tucked behind the pub lies the dormant Fyfe brewery, housed in the old sailmaker's workshop, due for revival under new ownership.

Historic Interest

Category C Listed. Pub is earlier to mid 19th century with an 18th century outbuilding which has been a sailmaker's loft and more recently a brewery. Historic Environment Scotland reference 44048

One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: C

The building dates from c.1870 and was a ship's chandlers until it became a pub in 1924; it is one of few pubs still with a jug bar. In the porch, doors lead to the bar on the right, lounge on the left and in front of you is the tiny intact jug bar with its two half-width doors and two tiny hatches to the bar. The main bar on the right retains its original mirrored back gantry with fluted pilasters, bar counter and half-height panelled walls. At the rear is an area created during a 1960s flat roof extension to the building. Lounge on the left has no old fittings apart from the panelled ceiling with decorative plasterwork of thistles, roses and clover. Behind the pub is the Fyfe brewery established in 1995.
