Description
The East Dock Bar, located at 240-242 High Street in Lower Methil, is a two-storey public house and flat built in 1893, situated on a corner site featuring a polygonal corner tower. The building is constructed from red fire bricks, accented with contrasting rusticated sandstone ashlar dressings. It includes a base course, cornices at the first floor and eaves, moulded cills, basket-arched openings on the ground floor, corbels, and stone mullions.
On the north corner elevation, there is a canted angle with a two-leaf timber door beneath a corbel leading to the cornice. The first floor features a three-light canted window, a deep blocking course, and a terracotta-finialled polygonal turret.
The northwest elevation facing High Street has a four-bay design, with a panelled timber door and a blocked fanlight to the left of centre. There is a three-light window on the outer left and a bipartite window on the right, along with another panelled timber door with a plate glass fanlight on the outer right. The first floor includes a bipartite window to the left of centre, a window on the outer left, and another bipartite window on the outer right, with a wallhead stack positioned to the right of centre.
The northeast elevation facing Wemyss Place features two windows on the ground floor, with the central window displaying etched glass reading 'WINES & SPIRITS', and a panelled timber door with a plate glass fanlight in the bay to the left. The first floor has two bipartite windows and two wallhead stacks.
The first-floor windows have been replaced with non-traditional uPVC. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are coped ashlar stacks with ashlar-coped skews and moulded skewputts on the northeast side.
Inside, the bar area features part-glazed panelled timber doors, decorative plasterwork cornices, boarded dadoes, timber panelling, and a curved bar with a gantry.
