One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest
Listed status: Not listed
After a spell as a restaurant, which saw removal of some old fittings, the Victoria Bar is a pub again - the former Clutha Vaults (victim of a 2013 helicopter crash) is now a room at the back. The bar still has its Victorian four-bay gantry, though with some changes, including loss of much lower shelving. The counter is original, with match strikers all along, pillasters and two ornate brackets. A little of the full-height panelling survives.
Photos show the Victoria Bar was at the foot of a tenement building that was reduced to a single-storey many years ago. After a spell as a restaurant (which saw the removal of a number of old fittings), the Victoria Bar is once again a pub. The Victoria Bar had been joined to the Clutha Vaults via the gardens of both pubs prior to the helicopter crash of 2013 and the former Clutha Vaults is now a room at the rear.
The bar retains its Victorian four-bay gantry with some modern changes and only some of the lower shelving survive. The original bar counter survives with match strikers all the way along it, a few pilasters, and a couple of ornate brackets. A little of the full height wall panelling remains on the rear wall but modern fixed seating.
A small separate snug on the left and part glazed partitions have been lost and the lounge on the far left (the conversion of a former fishmongers shop which was added post-war) is now a kitchen.
