A Belhaven owned pub with the only original island bar remaing in the Aberdeen area. A fantastic array of superb original mirrors are a wonder to behold. A pub that should have real ale, but doesn't!
One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest
Listed status: Not listed
The only pub in Aberdeen to retain its original island-style bar, which has one of the best displays of brewery and whisky mirrors in Scotland. While not visually exciting the original oval-shaped counter has a mosaic (former) spittoon trough all around the base, which is rare, and a match-striker running just under the top. The island gantry has been replaced in recent years but is similar in design to the original. There are six large and two small mirrors on the walls including a splendid one for Robert Younger's St Ann’s Brewery by T J Ford of Edinburgh. A small sitting room was lost in the 1960s by the removal of a short glazed partition on the left. The pub is very busy when football is screened.
