| Now reopened as a smart bar "Holyrood 9A", much emphasis on food. A bit corporate-makeover but they did, unexpectedly have four cask ales when I popped by, three interesting ones aside from the ubiquitous Deuchars. My Inveralmond Lia Fail was excellent on a quiet, wet Monday afternoon. Perhaps classy joints are realising that Real Ale is the Real McCoy, not ersatz lagers. curioushistory - 24 Nov 2009 23:37 |
| A sad, sad loss. Not the cleanest of pubs (by any stretch of the imagination) but the atmosphere was fantastic - like a busy students' union. Mark the landlord was an inspiration - whatever happened to him? A great loss! pjge - 2 Jun 2008 15:30 |
| Hmmm. You name it and they've just ran out of it. In particular the last drips of Laphroaig had evaded me by nanoseconds. In the midst of the Fringe fest last year this pub only seemed to come alive when there were plays on in the back. Otherwise the only other highlight was being sidled up to by a man wishing to lie down with his fellow man. Hey! you have to be good looking. Comparing this occasion to my previous visits the atmosphere of the Holyrood would be much improved by a repeal of the non-smoking ban. ILooklikeme - 22 Jun 2007 20:20 |
| Now, I believe, closed; all the gays, goths etc went to the Auld Hoose. Sorely missed. I clicked on this from the "what pub is this" section in the sidebar ("great pub... 10 out of 10") and was very tickled to discover that this was the pub that I used to haunt... ciphergoth - 27 Sep 2005 14:18 |
| great pub, good mix of students,gays, goths, academics, tourists and the odd scumbag from across the road. good jukebox and no pretense whatsoever that with the underlying threat of violence give the pub a great character.(there is rarely any trouble but the homeless shelter and notorious dumbiedykes housing across the road give the atmoshpere a little zest.)10 out of 10 phillip - 26 Dec 2003 16:10 |
