Bow Bar

This cheerfully traditional alehouse remains unchanging and full of character. The neatly kept rectangular bar has an impressive carved mahogany gantry, and from the tall 1920s founts on the bar counter, knowledgeable staff dispense eight well kept real ales such as Caledonian Deuchars IPA, Stewarts Edinburgh No 3 Premium Scotch Ale, Timothy Taylors Landlord and guests like Fyne Hurricane Jack, Highland Orkney Best, Hornbeam Black Coral Stout, Tempest Re-Wired, and Tryst Raj IPA. Also on offer are some 200 malts, including five ‘malts of the moment', a good choice of rums, 25 international bottled beers and quite a few gins. The walls are covered with a fine collection of enamel advertising signs and handsome antique brewery mirrors, and there are sturdy leatherette wall seats and café-style bar seats around heavy narrow tables on the wooden floor; free wi-fi access.
