Website

Close to the town centre and esplanade this sympathetic Wetherspoon conversion of an old furniture showroom has now established itself as an important real ale outlet offering a wide range of ales from across Britain. It is a busy and popular venue with both locals and visitors. The walls are adorned with TVs in homage to Helensburgh-born John Logie Baird and the decor is in the style of Charles Rennie Mackintosh. There is a beer garden to the rear.

Alcohol available from 11am.

Information for this venue is provided by the Glasgow & West of Scotland Branch of CAMRA
