A former bank, now a spacious and busy alehouse drawing a varied clientele of all ages, ranging from business people to football fans, but children are not admitted. The interior features an imposing horseshoe bar, bare floorboards, a splendid cornice and a collection of brewery mirrors. Old barrels act as tables for those who wish to stand up, or cannot find a seat. Several TVs show sport but the volume is usually kept low. The changing real ales, often from UK-wide independent breweries, come in a range of strengths and styles. Sparklers removed on request. Light lunches are served Monday to Saturday from 12 to 2pm.

Restoration

In the base of a C19 curved Grade C-listed tenement converted to a pub in 1992. It is a characterful evocation of a traditional Edinburgh bar having a single room. The imposing horseshoe servery has an impressive gantry. There is an ornate ceiling cornice and a collection of brewery mirrors and framed prints. Bare floorboards and in some places barrels serve as tables. Range of real ales and lunchtime food.
