Reopened after quite a period of closure during Covid ,the exterior is more impressive than the interior which has a modern stripped out feel.There are two raised sections at either end with the bar running along the lower section.A lot of undresses brick at the curved front section,a mix of furniture and large columns opposite the bar but it's very open plan .
Three real ales on our visit Cromarty Ghost Town,Stewart Jack Back and Spring Ale (well kept,an eldeerflower pale NBSS 4.5).The quality of the real ale made this trip so I would suggest making the effort if on a real ale crawl of the city centre.Very close to the Marchants City bar complex.

Blackfriars of Bell St has a raised seating area to the left of the entrance before a high banquette with high tables midway up the left wall and then another raised seating area is found at the rear. Tiger wallpaper is used throughout and large orange lightbulbs hand on long leads from the ceiling. The bar along the right wall supports standard, premium and craft keg along with three hand pumps. One was unused so the cask options were Stewart’s Tropical IPA Birthday Beer and Pentland IPA. Food is available, but only pizza is on the menu on Mondays and Tuesdays. This is a comfortable pub with friendly staff.

This corner pub seemed smaller inside than it looked from the street. It's been modernised consisting of an open plan room with ceiling lights and raised areas at each end. Most of the seating is on these raised areas. It was fairly quiet on my early Thursday afternoon visit. I could see no TV screen here which is a big plus. There was some music playing at a reasonable level.
There are five hand pumps which had a full choice of Fallen Grapevine, Grey Trees Caradog's Bitter, Late Night Hype Strathclyde Session IPA, Tryst Double Chocolate Porter and Alechemy Bad Day At The Office Pale. I went for the Grapevine (£3.70) and Porter (£3.50) both of which were in excellent condition.
I liked this place, it had a good choice of interesting beers in good condition and at reasonable prices. I could happily have stayed to try some other beers.
It's GBG 2018 listed.
