An independent pub opposite Waverley

In brief

On Market Street, in a seventeenth-century building facing the station, a pub since 1823 — independent in a stretch otherwise given over to station-trade chains. Bar downstairs, bistro upstairs, with fifty single malts and four cask ales behind the bar.

Compiled from public sources — not my own note.

Good to know

  • Book the upstairs bistro; the ground-floor bar takes walk-ins.
