Two star - A pub interior of very special national historic interest
Listed status: B
An early 19th-century, single-storey building, remodelled in 1902–3. It retains its old long bar counter (on which are two working water taps), carved gantry with impressive mirrors and two small, glazed cigar cabinets, Victorian fireplaces, bench seating, wood-panelled walls and ceiling. The centrally placed jug and bottle and its two partition walls were removed in about 1980, unfortunately, thus creating a single space. The pub has a pair of smart sitting rooms of 1970s on either side of the historic core.
An early 19th-century, single-storey building that was remodelled in 1902-3 by architect Alexander Cullen. The pub retains its original long bar counter in the stand-up bar, with smart sitting rooms either side in 1970s extensions. The central vestibule entrance has three doors with etched and frosted glass, which all now lead to the main bar, following the removal of the centrally placed jug and bottle and its two partition walls c.1980. The carved back gantry has impressive mirrors hanging from the top advertising 'Wm Whitelaw & Sons India Pale Ale' and 'James Jamieson Waverley Brewery, Edinburgh'. At each end of the gantry there are small glazed cigar cabinets, while on the counter are two working water taps. Other old fittings include Victorian wood-panelled walls and ceiling, old wall bench seating, good decorative carved Victorian fireplaces on the left and right and a phone box in small screened-off area with a door and hatch.
