Quinno _ left this review about The Lismore

Tenement corner pub with a strong Highland connection. Some traditional fittings in the exposed stone front bar and some more modern stained glass windows which look very nice – apparently the pub has only been open since the mid 90s which I found surprising. Purple rear room with its own smaller (non-cask) bar - unusual. Good mix of clientele rubbing along. Two ales on, Durham Stout (NBSS 3) and Orkney Viking (3.5) doing well on a hot day, so the GBG listing is justified. A shame I didn’t learn about the gents urinals until just now! 7.5

From the outside, this tenement corner pub looks little different from the many others (still trading and closed) across the city. However, if you venture inside, you find a great collection of stained glass windows portraying historical trades and events (but arrived a bit later than others on our 'pub research trip' so no time to use the famous urinals). Admiral from Tempest (£2.50, half) and Otherworld's Adrift being served from the pair of handpumps.

I was taking my photos of this pub, with an old man enjoying his cigarette in shot. I asked if he minded being in my photo, and he said I should come inside and see the windows, which depict scenes from the Highland Clearances. Once inside, the same man - this time without the fag - suggested I should go and have a look at the urinals. These have descriptions of three men who were closely involved in the clearance of Lios Mòr, an island in the Inner Hebrides, with an invitation to direct displeasure towards them in an appropriate manner.

Other aspects of the pub are more conventional, with a pair of hand pumps dispensing beers from Tempest Brewery in the Borders and Otherworld of Dalkeith: both were in very good nick (NBSS 3.5). We came here on the Subway train, a worthwhile trip from the centre, especially with the Three Judges across the road making an easy double-header.
