Designed by David and John Bryce and built in 1874-78 as the head Edinburgh office of the Glasgow based Union Bank. Now a vast Wetherspoon pub. The main bar has a superb high ceiling and polished granite pillars. There are three smaller rooms with tables for dining, the larger one partitioned and containing the old Chubb vault door. Toilets are situated on a lower level via a narrow staircase. The changing real ales are from breweries UK wide. It can be very busy at peak times.
NOTE: Alcohol is not served until 9am (11 Sun).
