Two-storey corner pub, notable for the 1960s Formica bar counter in the public bar. It has a canted white front and a deep pink top, both of Formica - such distinctive artefacts from this era are rare indeed. The gantry is probably from the same date as the main shelf is also deep pink Formica - most of the lower shelving is intact. Walls are mostly panelled to picture rail height and some of this looks old. The lounge/snug behind the servery has much 1960s ply panelling and two impressive large advertising mirrors.
Two-storey corner pub close to Sunnyside station and Summerlee Museum of Scottish Industrial Life, which retains a rare 1960s Formica bar counter.
Corner door leads into the public bar with the pillar holding up the ceiling having a decorative capital; also a deep cornice. The bar counter has a canted front of white and a deep pink top both of Formica. There are few examples of such distinctive c1960 bar fittings left. The gantry is probably also from the 1960s as the main shelf is of deep pink Formica and only one fridge has replaced some of the lower shelving. Most of the walls are panelled to picture rail height which looks modern but some on the exterior wall side look old. Look for the smallish framed posters on glass advertising ‘Fowlers Sweet Stout’ and Fowlers Ale on Draught’.
Three steps down to the lounge / snug situated behind the servery. It has lots of ply panelling on the walls from the 1960s and the fixed seating is post-war (possibly modern?). There are two large mirrors advertising Campbell & Co’s Edinburgh Ales’ and ‘Jas. Gray, Sons & Co. Old Malt Whiskies.
