An historic tenement lounge bar, converted from a shop in late 19th century, and situated close to Portobello promenade. This welcoming locals' pub features a lovely long bar surrounded by ornate lanterns. The floor is carpeted and there is comfortable seating along the walls and in two smaller rooms. Historic photos and golf memorabilia adorn the walls. The impressive gantry is stocked with a huge array of malt whiskies.
NOTE: Children are not admitted.
Two star - A pub interior of very special national historic interest
Listed status: Not listed
Originally a grocers shop at the base of a tenement, this became a pub in c.1904. A photograph hanging over the gantry taken in about 1920 shows the present bar fittings but on top of the gantry a row of spirit casks which were removed in the 1970s when a false ceiling was added. The gantry has ornately carved and attractively painted pillars holding up the top shelf along with a new main shelf top but some lower shelving has been lost by the insertion of two small fridges. The old bar counter front has also been painted mainly black with vertical strips painted gold. There were once four snugs here and, happily, two remain - one on the front left, slightly opened out, and the other rear left with a doorway and impressive Campbell's mirror.

Originally there were four snugs including a small ladies one on the front right. It is good to see two snugs remain to this day – one on the front left slightly opened-out and one at the rear left with a doorway and housing a large Victorian ‘Campbell & Co’s Mils & Pale Ales’ mirror. Original seating was replaced in the 1970s and a fireplace removed.
