  • Historic Interior

Dating from 1874, this is a fine traditionally furnished pub with long bar, green leather seating, fine gantry, and decorative glass panels to the rear, surely not changed much for many decades, and befitting its Grade B listed building status. Draught ales from two handpulls, with local MòR Beers usually included.

At the far end, the Whisky Saloon opened in July 2024, featuring over 300 whiskies - still available as a venue for meetings, and other times as a snug lounge.

No restaurant - but see menus to order food from Harvey's Takeaway, just round the corner.

** A 10% discount on real ale is being offered to CAMRA members - make sure you present your membership card. **

Historic Interest

Features in "Legacy" - a 24-page booklet detailing four pubs’ place in 500 years of Dundee history.

One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: Not listed

Head for the small ’Saloon Bar’ at the rear with its twin doors in a four bay arcaded partition (just an arch in the servery area). This is a little altered inter-war bar with a late 1930s panelled bar counter, a three-bay Art Deco mirrored gantry with cupboards either side. There is panelling on the walls to picture frame height and stained and leaded exterior windows. The front main bar has a counter which may be old – particularly the rear section which has a modern marble / polished stone top. Most of the gantry is modern work. The dado panelling has a strip of modern tiles at the top.
