Description

Burnside Bar is an early 19th century, three-storey L-plan tenement located on Burnside Street in Campbeltown. The building features four bays on the west elevation (Burnside) and three bays on the south elevation. The pub frontage is smoothly cement rendered up to the first-floor cill height, while the upper part of the west elevation is finished in stugged ashlar and the south elevation is roughcast. Architectural details include a base course, string and cill courses at the first floor, a cill course at the second floor (only on the Burnside elevation), and an eaves course. The upper floors have raised margins and a tightly curved corner treatment.

On the west elevation, there are four bays arranged in a 1-2-1 grouping. The entrance door to the bar is located at the center, with four closely spaced windows to the left and three to the right, all of which are partially infilled. The south elevation has three bays, with a blank bay on the left. The center bay features a window at ground floor level with a door to the left, a small window between the second and third bays, and a door at the third bay. The second floor has projecting cills.

The building has 12-pane timber sash and case windows, with modern replacements on the southwest elevation, the second floor, and at the pub frontage. The roof is covered with grey slate and is piended at the corner. A rendered and coped three-flue wallhead stack is located at the head of the first bay of the southwest elevation.
