A former Academy converted to large pub with central, square, island bar. There is an additional entrance from the Academy Shopping Centre which is more suitable for disabled access than the ramp at the front door. Used to have unusual, upstairs ale cellar, viewable from the balcony, but beer is now in conventional cellar. Was originally an ale house having a large range of real ales but became gradually reduced to one and now hand-pumps have been removed following a recent refurbishment (mid July 2015). A victim, it would seem, of Belhaven's policy to install craft ales from Goose Island and BrewDog. Free wi-fi and a quiz each Tuesday night. Meals served all day from noon till 9pm.
