  • Historic Interior

MAY 2025 Will also be serving breakfast Sat and Sun 9.30 - 11.30 from 24th May.

Situated in one of the most exclusive areas of the city, this historic pub, dating from the 14th century, has been beautifully restored retaining its intimate past with dark wood panelling to the fore. The focus is on food, but drinkers are most welcome, the enclosed courtyard being popular in summer. It still has a traditional skittle alley which can be hired.

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

One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: B

The interior here dates from a refurbishment of c.1936, which is the date of the bar counter, gantry and mirrors. At that time the room on the left was two snugs/parlours with a small snug to the right of the bar. The wall separating the two snugs was removed c.1968 and the snug near the bar removed in the early 1970s to create a fire escape for the upstairs dining room. The snug is visible in a photo on the wall of the bar. A third room at the rear left is in a 1950s extension, leading to the skittle alley which dates from 1880s.
