Cafe-bar in the old Prudential Insurance office. Decorative tiled walls, a high ceiling and huge lamps set the scene along with a central bar with counters on both sides. High window seats allow views over St. Andrew Square. With sport on the big screen it can be a lively, bustling venue. The guest beers are normally from smaller Scottish breweries. Cask beers are served from two modern chrome dual founts with long plastic spouts. (DEC 2024 - May have been replaced by handpumps? )

WARNING: An adjacent similar looking single fount serves keg beer.

The high-ceilinged former public office is tiled from floor to ceiling in buff, brown, cream and light blue and there is more tiling in the corner entrance porch. There are two central pillars supporting lateral arches and huge lamps. The island bar serves cask beers and meals.
