It is tucked away in a small pedestrian street where determined people make the effort to find us. It is a five minute walk from both Central and Queen Street stations and twenty minutes by bus or taxi from Glasgow airport.

This Georgian building, originally built in 1790 and attributed to the architect Robert Adam, was saved from demolition in 1983 and opened in October 1985 by Fraser Laurie.

The Mullen family have now taken on this famous old pub and aim to secure its position as one of Glasgow's finest hospitality establishments!
