| 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 |
| Proctors has had new owner for a few months now and the name has been changed to "The Dagda Bar". Anyway, the atmosphere used to be a bit strained and locally, but recently it's been rather different and there has been a number of very positive changes. In particular, there's Erdinger on tap and a couple of ales (including Arran Blonde when I was in there), all at surprisingly reasonable prices. If I recall correctly they also have five or six continental bottled beers as well. There's an interesting wine list with about 20 wines on it (again from hazy memory... :) Anyway, given that it's small place without brushed-aluminium pretentions and with good value drinks, I think it's worth trying, although I suppose only time will tell how the atmosphere and clientele changes. (Oh, I meant to add that there's music from a jukebox, which isn't too intrusive.) mhl - 15 Sep 2005 15:58 |
