Tay Bridge Bar, 123-129 (Odd Nos) Perth Road

The Tay Bridge Bar occupies the ground floor of a four-storey, nine-bay tenement on Perth Road, dating to 1889, with later additions from the 1930s and 1950s. The building also incorporates a Post Office and a modern shop. The public house itself has a shop-front style facade. The front elevation faces south. The public house occupies the left side of the ground floor, divided into three sections with a full-width fascia featuring console brackets and diminutive triangular pediments above a modern shop front. Narrow ashlar bands run down the front, with a pilaster strip channelled at the first floor, and a cill course to the first and second floors, and an eaves cornice. The first and second floors have architraved windows with consoled cornices, while the third floor windows have bracketed cills. The upper floors have four symmetrical bays per floor, with bipartite windows in the outer bays flanking single windows, and a dominant, shouldered wallhead stack at the centre. The right side of the ground floor features a recessed doorway to the tenement entrance, flanked by a Post Office with an inset door on the left and a modern shop front on the right. Above the ground floor, the tenement has five bays consistent with the design of the public house.

The interior is particularly noteworthy, featuring three distinct bars. The original 1889 Tay Bridge Bar has elaborate plasterwork cornicing, compartmented anaglypta-covered walls and ceiling, and an original back gantry featuring a clock flanked by large decorative mirrors, one etched with an image of the Tay Rail Bridge, and arcaded shelving at the base, along with a panelled timber bar. A small, retained snug bar has a panelled timber bar and a partially glazed partition with a sliding serving hatch. The 1930s Walnut Lounge is an Art Deco bar with fine walnut panelling, including a telephone cupboard, etched glass, a quarter-circle panelled timber bar, a spittoon, and an emery strip match striker, along with a replica glazed partition. A post-war lounge bar, created in a converted shop, is in a similar style to the Walnut Lounge. The public house has fixed display windows with ventilators, and the tenement windows are mostly plate glass, some in timber sash and case style. The building has coped ashlar shouldered wallhead stacks with decorative cans, a cast iron downpipe, and a decorative rainwater hopper.
