Terraced drinkers' pub of around 1900 that has been in the same family since 1933. It consists of two L-shaped bars arranged symmetrically either side of a screened off-sales compartment and a snug attached to the counter. Although not visually exciting, the intactness of this pub is very rare. The panelled bar on the far left has a ribbed wood counter, an inter-war fireplace, and 1960s fitted seating. Note the old 'Bar' and 'Tennants' cemented-on lettering on the glass. The tiny off-sales on the left of the entrance is a part-glazed wood partitioned room with a tiny hatch to the bar. The snug on the right of the entrance is similar in style to the off-sales and is twice the size with an open counter. The lounge on the far right is very similar to the bar - note the old pressure gauge which is part of the electric air compressor that was once used to dispense the beer. There are only basic shelves making up the back gantry, which are of no great age. There is a large 'Auld House Luncheon Bar Fine Old Cameron Bridge Whisky' mirror in the passage to the toilets.
