(Pub, External, Key). Published on 04-11-2015

Designed by David and John Bryce and built in 1874-78 as the head Edinburgh office of the Glasgow based Union Bank it is now a vast Wetherspoon pub. The large main bar has a superb high ceiling and polished granite pillars. There are three smaller rooms with tables for dining, the larger one partitioned and containing the old Chubb vault door. It can be very busy at peak times. The toilets are situated on a lower level via a narrow staircase.

The changing real ales are from breweries UK wide.

NOTE: Alcoholic drinks are served from 9am (11 Sun).

Conversion

What was once the Union Bank in the 1870s is now owned by Wetherspoon's and forms one of the company's most imposing outlets. The top-lit rectangular banking hall forms the main bar, which has a superb high ceiling and polished granite pillars. Subsidiary offices provide a series of smaller spaces, one of which contains a mighty safe. A vast but interesting building that is Grade A-listed.
