Originally built in 1804 as a well-to-do town house, the Publican's Arms was converted into a beerhouse in 1868. The first record of the pub being called the Publican's Arms was in 1889, and it was named to commemorate the Public House Union Act between England and Scotland signed in 1804, the year the house was built. The Publican's Arms was re-opened under new ownership in July 2004 and has enjoyed welcoming both old and new customers since then.

The Publican's Arms ambition is to provide its customers with great beer in a traditional atmosphere free from blaring music, games machines and wall to wall TVs.
