This local institution has a stand-up bar for drinkers and a popular modernised lounge on the left. In a 19th-century building, it has an island style bar of c.1900. A porch on the right side has three doors, two of which lead to the terrazzo-floor bar; the other was for the off-sales but this now leads to a service area. The original counter has a trough around the base, and the gantry was replaced in 1993, although it is a true replica of the original. The lounge on the left was opened-up in 1990 and extended back, and there is a restaurant on the first floor with a separate entrance. There are very few optics, with most spirits being served from the bottle into measures.

The pub was owned by the McMillan family for 50 years until 1987 and has always been closed on a Sunday. Despite the change in the law in 1976 that allowed pubs to open on a Sunday for the first time, the family never applied for a license. New owner Ron Pollock has continued this tradition, although the upstairs restaurant does open for Sunday lunches.
