Reopened in July 2020 after an extensive refurbishment following its purchase by new owners.

The furniture in the bar of this pub/hotel/restaurant is simple and practical with plain tables and free-standing chairs, augmented by wall seating. The latter repeated in the beer garden along with bench-tables. Three pumps serve Scottish beers plus a guest, usually local, sometimes from further afield. The chef prepares meals for the upstairs restaurant from Scottish produce including fish/seafood, game and other meats. The quality is reflected in the daily specials served in the bar.

Acoustic sessions usually take place on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons.

Information for this venue is provided by the Glasgow & West of Scotland Branch of CAMRA
