The pub will be managed by Kayleigh McMenemy and is set to create 60 jobs.
McMenemy said: “Myself and my team are looking forward to welcoming customers into Black Bear and we are confident that the pub will be a great addition to the local social scene.”
The pub will have a ground floor bar and a large beer garden to the front of the property.
Food will be served throughout the day, from opening until 11pm every day.
The new pub will specialise in real ales and traditional ciders, as well as craft and world beers, serving a wide range of different draught ales, as well as bottled beers, including those from local and regional brewers.
It will be open for family dining, with children, accompanied by an adult, welcome in the pub up until 11pm, throughout the week.
The pub will be wheelchair accessible and have a specially adapted toilet for people with disabilities.
The pub takes its name from a traditional Scottish pipe march.
Although its exact composer remains unknown, The Black Bear has been traced to the 19th century.
Its rhythm makes it fitting for marching-off parades and leading troops home. Often heard at ceremonies, parades and gatherings, the tune is still widely performed today by Scottish regiments and civilian pipe bands.
Historical photos and details of local history, as well as artwork and images of local scenes and characters of the area, are also displayed in the pub.
