Popular with locals, this small cosy bar is said to be the oldest pub in the area. The front room contains the bar counter and has a small alcove displaying a series of historical prints depicting life in Leith. The rear room has exposed stone walls and a large fireplace with a welcoming electric stove in winter. The real ales are from Scottish breweries and there is a good selection of malt whiskies. Home-made Pizzas are served all day, with a special deal weekday lunchtimes 12 till 3. Children are not admitted.
One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest
Listed status: B
At the base of an early 19th century four-storey sandstone tenement built by David Freebairn and operating as a wine and spirit merchants in 1890 it has a little altered main bar and tiny snug. Note the plaque on the exterior “Leith’s Oldest Unaltered Public House (1785)”. It has a small front bar with bare boards, a curved gantry on the left hand wall with mirrors – the low top section is full of whisky bottles etc. A fridge and a glass washing machine have replaced half of the lower shelves. The panelled counter could be old but has a new top – the small return section at the rear could be a modern addition as it of different design to the rest. Fixed seating is post-war. Excellent ‘Raeburn’s India Pale Ale, Edinburgh’ mirror. The tiny front left snug is claimed to be where sailors met the ladies of the night – Leith is a busy port. A bare wood passage with toilets off leads to a bare boarded rear room with stone walls, pew seating and the wood surround fireplace is not old.
