| Comfortable, fun one room pub with original features. Nice selection of real ales, 3 pumps. Boongie - 1 Feb 2010 22:30 |
| This was a well run friendly bar, and it was our first visit during our quest to get round as many GBG pubs as we could. Enjoyed chatting over the bar with the knowledgable landlord, and also enjoyed the 2 ales we had - Stewarts Edinburgh Gold and Kelburn Goldihops. gillhalfpint - 16 Aug 2009 18:21 |
| I didn't spend much time here but it's definitely a bar that I want to return to. There were three Scottish ales plus a big range of bottles including Duvel, Le Chouffe, De Konnick and Krusovice. It's a small one room bar with stools at the bar, seating around the outside and a stone floor with a large barrel acting as a table in the centre. The reason I didn't stay longer was a group of loud drunken students debating everything from, philosophy to creationism to sexual fetishes to absolute b*llocks. Normally this would entertain me but one of the girls had one of those loud whiney yank accents that can disturb dogs three streets away. It spoiled the experience a bit but I saw enough of the pub to appreciate how good it is and to make me want to return next time I'm in Edinburgh. Millay - 25 May 2009 10:29 |
| Finally got down to the Dagda after four of my six months in Edinburgh, and after the Oxford it has quickly gone close to the top of my favourites list. Nice pubby atmosphere, so far the beer (Kelburn Misty Law) very good, remains to be seen if the quality is consistent. Beerwulf - 13 May 2009 22:47 |
| The Dagda Bar fulfils the two main pre-requisites for a good Edinburgh pub - it has a cellarman who know how to keep real ales, and a proper selection of whiskies. The bar staff are all friendly and know about what they sell. There is always a malt of the moment, which is usually relatively unknown, and a selection of three real ales. Usually there is one light ale (e.g. Beyond the Bale, Pentland IPA...), and two stronger darker ales (e.g. Red Cullin, Dark Island...). There is also an array of Belgian beers, Erdinger on tap and a reasonably varied wine list (I'm not qualified to comment on its quality). The clientelle is a good mix and the atmosphere is always convivial - made possible especially by the friendly bar staff. This is an excellent place to spend your evening if you like traditional Edinburgh pubs with well kept beer and interesting whiskies. eahm - 31 Jan 2008 20:43 |
