Long, narrow, dark Wetherspoon outlet with some raised seating near the bar and booths at both the main entrance and at the rear entrance on Justice Mill Lane, hence the name of the pub.

This small corner bar is the closest real ale outlet to the city rail/bus stations and the Union Square shopping complex.

Bar food is best described as basic Scottish pub grub, including roast beef stovies. Now only selling one beer, Dark Island, which it has sold on a regular basis for many years. However, no ale has been sold since pubs re-opened but it is hoped it will continue once the colder weather comes around.
