Wine Bar
Closed in June 2016 as a pub following a proposed 100% rent increase. Re-opened in 2017 as a restaurant / wine bar by Chateaux Margaux heiress Alexandra Petit-Mentzelopoulos, the youngest daughter of Corinne Mentzelopoulos owner of the celebrated Left Bank estate since 1980. Now described as "a very swanky wine bar within a mock Tudor townhouse". No draught beer but now in conformance with CAMRAs definition of a pub.
Historic Interest
This was a corner pub, rebuilt in 1936 with a mock Tudor frontage probably to the designs of John Quilter The leaded windows include lettering: 'WM YOUNGER & CO LTD ... EDINBURGH ... SCOTCH ALE ... MILD & PALE ALES'; there are also small painted panels showing Aberdeen and Edinburgh Castle. The drainage ironwork features thistles and the initials 'WY'. Inside there was a small bar with dark wood panelling and leaded windows, a style favoured by the former owners, Youngers. There is a first floor restaurant and function room. Originally licensed as Le Fevre’s Coffee House, it later became the Lincoln then the William Wallace. The Tudor Rose name dated from 2000.
