One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest
Listed status: Not listed
Small drinkers pub built in the 1890s that retains its original seven-tier back gantry and U-shaped bar counter. The public bar has good cornice-work and two old mirrors but the panelling and seating areas date from 1990s. The rear sitting room with '2' on the door has some fixed seating, which is possibly inter-war. Originally, the left hand door led to a ladies' snug but the partition was removed some years ago - its position was where the terrazzo trough around the base of the bar finishes. Look for the stuck-on lettering high up in the right hand porch advertising 'Campbell's Edinburgh Ales' and various spirits.
Lyle's Bar, Gourock
