A very fine exterior and interior,this pub was closed for quite a while during Covid but has reopened under the ownership of Isle of Skye Brewery .The etched glass windows are set at a jaunty angle ,while the interior has a long central bar serving two sides,with seating booths in red leather on one side,more vertical drinking on the other.The carved woodwork around the front is noteable and mosaics feature.There is also a large rear room but more modern in styling. There are regular comody evenings,it's a lively place popular with the young but attractive enough to warrant close inspection.
There were 4 IoS brews on during my trip their Red,Black,Gold and Tarasgeir (a peat flavoured speciality NBSS 3.5).
A great new addition to the City Centre drinking scene,this is the place to sample IoS brews and it's such an attractive pub.Now a must visit,great double header with nearby State Bar.

Outstanding art nouveau pub, shame about the beer. The pub is grade B listed. One pump of mediocre Kelburn. There is a long double sided counter serving a large partially divided room with a smaller room at one end. The windows are beautifully etched with Charles Rennie Mackintosh style motifs, there is stained glass, carved wood and even some of the furniture and light fittings look original.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Griffin
Attractive corner pub with an elongated central double-sided servery and modern-looking etched glazing. Plenty of bar stools but not a huge amount of space for tables around the periphery. Further on, the next room is branded the Gin Palace, and beyond another bar called the Stage Door (although closed for a private party when I visited). Just a solitary handpump, but this dispensed a decent enough pint of Kelburn Misty Law (£3.60).
