This Pub is Closed Long Term

JAN 2025 - Pub closed. Unknown at present whether a new tenant will be found or the pub put on the market. The last real ale outlet in Penicuik at the time of closure, but now the Old Crown has come to the rescue.

A lively pub with a strong community spirit, situated in an old private house, built circa 1895 for Professor James Ewart, where he conducted his world famous work into animal hybrids, the 'Pennycuik Experiments'. See picture of commentative plaque on the outside wall.

The large bar is open plan with a log/coal stove, TV screens and pool table. A pleasantly decorated restaurant serves locally sourced food, available all day on Saturday and Sunday. Children are permitted in the bistro and garden only. There is also a small lounge by the bistro. Dogs are allowed in the bar and in dedicated area within the restaurant.

NOTE: The bar opens at 3pm Mon-Fri but real ale can still be enjoyed in the Bistro and lounge before then.

Information for this venue is provided by the Edinburgh & South East Scotland Branch of CAMRA
