One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: Not listed

Notable for a superb bar-back, said to have been brought in from a pub in Lurgan during the rebuilding of 1906. It sports four oval spirit casks, set end on, each with a lozenge-shaped mirror naming the contents – ‘Fine Old Jamaica Rum’ etc. Two of the casks still have their highly unusual, original taps which acted like optics – one turn for a quarter gill, two for a half. There are another four taps which dispensed soft drinks. Wood-panelled ceiling and two rather oriental-looking cast-iron columns supporting the building above. There was, sadly, a thorough-going refurbishment in 1967 when the snugs were removed.
