Went here on a horrible wet day after a rather dismal time at the St Vincent Bar. This place cheered us right up. Excellent beer, friendly staff, a warm fire and wisecracking locals. Probably the best pub I've visited in Edinburgh. Will definitely be back.

Last comment mentions the Banker's Draft - should read the Standing Order of course!

Excellent little pub which if anything gets better each time I visit. A good choice of ales, some local and most Scottish, a warm fire in the winter, friendly staff and a great variety of customers, most seemingly living or working locally and a lot of them professionals. The beer is a bit pricy - on one occasion I noticed the Deuchar's was exactly double the price charged in the Banker's Draft - but it says a lot about the place that I did not resent paying their price.

Popped in to see whether the pub could be as nice on in the inside as it is on the outside. It was even better than expected. Cosy, warm. Fire crackling, some regulars purring at the bar. A range of well-kept ales served by kindly, bar man (wide of moustache, twinkly of eye), a large selection of malts along the shelf. A step back in time but without any of the faux-period relics and corporate-wide nostalgia you find in many other pubs. A gem.

A cosy little bakc street boozer oozing convivial atmosphere Our first pub of the crawl, so kicked off with an excellent pint of Schiehallion.
