A locals pub with some old bar fittings, notably the curved panelled counter in the public bar with its pilasters and carved brackets. The four-bay gantry also looks old though only one and a half bays now serve as back fittings.

Situated at the base of a tenement, this locals pub retains 100 year old bar fittings with some changes. Small public bar has a bare wood floor, a possibly Victorian panelled bar counter with pilasters and carved brackets and is curved at both ends. The very good four bay gantry looks Victorian but only one and a half bays are in use as a back fitting – the right hand end half is a staff entrance, the far left bay is now a walkway to two new small rooms at the rear, and the second bay on the left is of a plain mirror with tourist literature and cupboards below. Presumably the bar counter has been changed and would have been in front of the two left bays originally whereas now it is situated in the front of the two right hand bays only.
