One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: C

This late 19th century building was saved from demolition by a local action group, which included the Ayrshire branch of CAMRA, when the surrounding area was redeveloped c.1999. A popular drinker's pub, it still has many fittings from c.1900, and is one of a handful with an original horseshoe-shaped counter still with the old terrazzo spittoon trough around the base, which, unusually, has a drain. At the rear right where the terrazzo trough finishes, the counter has been turned through 90 degrees to create more space for customers.

This late 19th-century building was saved from demolition by a local action group, which included the Ayrshire branch of CAMRA, when the surrounding area was redeveloped c.1999. A popular drinker's pub, it still has many fittings from c.1900, and is one of a handful with an original horseshoe-shaped counter still with the old terrazzo spittoon trough around the base, which, unusually, has a drain. At the rear right where the terrazzo trough finishes, the counter has been turned through 90 degrees to create more space for customers.

The pub retains its original quarry-tiled floor, panelled walls that run all around the room and two Edwardian red-glazed brick and wood surround fireplaces. Note the Art Nouveau stained and leaded panels in the original vestibule entrance around the right-hand door. On the left are two open snugs separated by a modern partition. The upstairs function room has an old crescent-shaped bar counter and a back gantry originally from the Marine Bar in Ayr, which was demolished in the 1990s.
