## What it's known for

Pub, restaurant and small hotel in an 18th-century Merchant City townhouse, listed in CAMRA's Good Beer Guide. Usually three cask ales, mostly from Scottish breweries, plus Scottish cooking and a sheltered courtyard beer garden. Open daily from noon to midnight.

Partly craft: a traditional cask-ale pub. Dog-friendly. Some listings show an 11am opening Monday to Saturday.

Check opening hours with the venue before you go: they change, especially early in the week.
