Pillars, Dundee

Pillars was the Town House. It is a small bar with ‘The Pillars’ in mosaic in the exterior lobby. The vestibule entrance, with some decorative etched and frosted panels, has a door ahead which leads to the public bar (left door originally led to the ladies snug) the partition was taken away many years ago. Note the two window screens now on hinges in this area. The bar counter is old, maybe inter-war and has two working water taps. There is a two bay gantry with a narrow door for staff between the two bays, wooden shelves on a mirrored back and a broken pediment at the top. The semi-circular windows above each bay have ‘Pillars’ and a Fleur de Lys symbol. Fridges have replaced the left hand lower shelves; right hand ones remain with Formica on the main shelf. The seating with inter-war bench ends has been re-leatheretted. The pub now consists of another small pub called the Salty Dog with post war fittings and a water tap on the bar counter. A larger room connects the two rooms / pubs and has 1960s Artex walls and ceiling so the linked pub runs all around a shop.
