A small, basic but friendly drinkers' pub situated in a five-storey c1790 tenement block. The long narrow bar has old dado panelled walls, a fine 'James Gray whiskies' mirror and the original back gantry, running the length of the room with an odd kink in the middle.. The original full-length counter was replaced by a much shorter one in the 1960/1970s and has two water taps that still work but are not used. At the front right is a small snug area that was originally separate with its own entrance door.
