NOTE: NO REAL ALE. Side-turning cask ale taps out of use October 2022. Still thought to be serving bottled real cider.

Popular and often very busy old town bar. The main area has a dark wooden bar and flooring. There is a further room to the rear and a smaller snug at the front. The beer taps are on the bar’s back wall, with real ales to the left (side-turning taps) and keg-craft to the right. Food is served all day with burgers a speciality (breakfast served until 12 noon).

NOTE: Alcohol is not served until 11am.

Information for this venue is provided by the Edinburgh & South East Scotland Branch of CAMRA

Asset of Community Value

Bare-boarded pub built 1898 that retains its original two-tier mirrored gantry. The stand-up bar has an old bar counter with match strikers, two-thirds-height wall-panelling and an elongated Usher's Pale Ale mirror but the bar top is new. A wide arch on the right leads to a separate sitting room with more panelling, a few bell-pushes and a 1930s fireplace. There was a snug bar at the front accessed from the left-hand door but only a small section of curved part glazed screen that separated it remains. The bar opens out at the rear with more panelling and there is a good cornice throughout. The pub was extended back in the 1930s and the rear room is the venue for a folk music jam session on Sunday evenings.
