Established in 1630, this 17th century coaching inn with a connection to Robert Burns has been a mainstay of the Dumfries beer scene for many years. Situated just off the High Street the pub has been refurbished to an aesthetically pleasing standard without ruining the traditional bar. Brand new toilets for all genders on ground floor. Twin booth snug is lovely with the stove made into a glass fronted feature. There is an updated outdoor smoking/vaping area.

Misleading Dispense

This venue has been flagged by CAMRA volunteers as using a misleading dispense method to serve beer.

This is a 'Fresh Ale' - a keg beer served through a cask handpump. Find out more here Handpump Hijack.

If in doubt, we recommend that you Ask if it's Cask before making a purchase.

Historic Interest

Early 19th century Category C Listed. Historic Environment Scotland reference LB26320
