The brewery passed through the hands of numerous owners and tenants including; Donald Mackay, William Mackintosh, Peter Smith, James McGrigor, John Carlier Tweedie, Alexander Mann, George Hayward, James Grant, Hugh Ross, James Rose, Daniel Bernard Rose, and Ainslie & Co. It was re-named the St Bernard's Brewery when it was operated by Ainslie & Co.

The buildings were destroyed by fire in 1903, causing £1,000 of damage, and most of the ground has since been landscaped.
