A popular locally-owned pub in the centre of 'The Ferry'. There are three TVs in the public bar for the many sports fans, with meals served in the Art Deco lounge. The gantry in the public bar was rescued in the past from the demolished Craigour Bar in Dens Road. Local ales, often from MòR Beers, and others from all over Britain are served through two handpulls. With the station close by, train times displayed on screen in the bar.

Sold in early 2025 by renowned publican Jonathan Stewart; it is hoped that the new owner John Black will continue to supply the excellent real ales, and maintain the CAMRA discount available to members.

Historic Interest

The fine gantry in the public bar was rescued in the 70s from the demolished Craigour Bar in Dens Road
