Once the Black Swan, as is evidenced by a carving on the outside stonework, it possesses one of the few original bar layouts in the city. Two wood-panelled rooms contain an eclectic collection of furniture. The back snug is often booked for parties, with cocktails served from teapots. In addition to two real ales there is a good bottled beer selection. A special allergy food menu is available.

It was the birthplace of Edinburgh & SE Scotland CAMRA on a foggy 16 January 1975 evening. The branch re-visited on 16 January 2015 to mark its 40th anniversary and plan to do so again in 2025 for its 50th.

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

In the ground floor of a Victorian tenement with the original inn sign carved into the stonework of the building. It still retains its Victorian panelled bar counter with pilasters but a newish bar top. The counter on the right in the main bar is modern, as is the one in the lounge/dining room. The gantry has two old pilasters but most of the rest is modern. Above the gantry is the top section of the gantry of the nearby Vintage Bar obtained when they ripped out the Victorian interior of that pub. Good decorative etched and frosted panel in the entrance lobby. Panelled ceiling with good carved bosses.
