Large, long thin pub in three parts. The comfortable front area is set for eating. The rest of the pub has exposed rafters. The bar is on a raised area with a tv screen, mirrors and two gaming machines. Walk down to the back to mezzanine seating then into a sunken area with a very large tv screen. Out through the back to an outdoor patio. The origin of the pub is unknown but it is claimed Robbie Burns slept here. Formerly The Black Swan and reopened under its former name in November 2024 Now seems to be a mock Irish pub, with lots of sports screens, loud music and garish green LED lighting. Still 1 real ale on
