| Splendid old Victorian pub with various little alcoves and seating areas off from the main bar area. A range of 6 cask ales was found on my first visit here earlier this month. All beer sampled was well-kept as the Good Beer Guide suggested it would be. That said, it didn't say they'd be free! Unfortunately the barman serving was seemingly so preoccupied (we believed with a pair of tourist's titties at the end of the bar) that he singularly omitted to charge us! Might've said something were it not for the fact he seemed generally oblivious to customers, so on balance we let it pass. I hope he's more awake usually, as he could be losing the pub a fair amount of cash! Whilst I liked this place, I did sense a slightly pretentious undercurrent; it didn't have the grittier charms of some of Edinburgh's other pubs. Nevertheless, it's still worth seeking out for some good beer - possibly on the hoose! TWG - 17 Aug 2011 06:49 |
| Eight beers on during my visit including the ubiquitous Tradewinds and Kelburn Carte Nir, a fine Coffee based beer. Two minutes walk from Grassmarket ahscum - 25 Jul 2011 21:49 |
| Great pub, good beer quality and selection, scottish humour and charm throughout - good session pub in central endinburgh parmantom - 29 Mar 2011 10:31 |
| Lovely real ale pub with 10+ beers on pumps plus great selection of rums and whiskies (if that's what you're into). Cosy interior with open fires and interesting floor mosaic decorations. Best bet is Cairgorn Trade Winds, Orkney Dark Island and Red Cuillin were also extremely drinkable. Perry_Mason - 28 Nov 2010 18:41 |
| Charming city centre pub. Quirky, with a mix of customers and some good ales on. Can't knock it really. Pricy but where isn't these days except 'spoons and you don't just want to drink in those now do you? dry_riser_inlet - 23 Aug 2010 10:30 |
