Corner tenement pub in a mock Tudor style that opened its doors in 1961. The small friendly locals' bar offers real ales from Scottish breweries and the opportunity for a good conversation. In addition there is a range of bottled beers and a distinctive lager. The small lounge up the stairs to the rear is usually closed at quiet times but it is available for large functions and it is often used as a music venue.

The Doublet is a rare survivor of an early 1960s mock Tudor pub interior with fake beams and many other fittings typical of the time.

Situated in the base of a four-storey tenement, this former fish & chips was converted in 1961 and has a distinct early 1960s exterior with an Alpine –style wording ‘The Doublet’ (the original illuminated one is on the wall of the public bar).

The front door leads into a small lobby and on the right is a door, which did have the figure ‘1’ on it, that leads to the original off sales, now used for storage. There is a door beyond the servery with a figure ‘2’ on it, which is also now used for storage.

The servery has a bar front of rough hewn lapped wood. The mirrored gantry has two drawers, glass shelves and half of lower shelving remains. There is a dado of fielded panelling in a light beech colour with Tudor style half timbering effect above. Other early 1960s items are the azed wood on ‘beams’ including two hollow main beams and copper top tables.

The area of the public bar at the rear left was a cellar until c.1970. The additional section of the room has been made carefully to match the front very 1960s looking fixed seating. If you look closely, the two baffles in the far left area are of s different style to the two in the front left area.

A lounge was created in the early 1970s and is unchanged since. There was a joinery at the rear with the woodstore on the ground floor (now the cellar) and joiners shop above. The lounge is accessed from the rear of the public bar up a staircase to the first floor. The gents’ looks original and the ladies’ toilets were added in the 1970s when the lounge was created. The pub has a legendary juke box with discs from Jimmy Shand to Def Metal.
