| Fantastic real ale spot , friendly knowledgable staff, punters friendly if leaning to the old man side - good selection of whiskys. No music , no frills , but does what it says on the till . beersteer - 20 Jan 2010 17:52 |
| Famous traditional Old Town boozer close to (but a million miles from in spirit) the crowded and touristy pubs of the Royal Mile and the Grassmarket. It's one room is basic but packed with character as the pub boasts some of the best brewery mirrors in the city, and they, along with old railway maps, cover almost every part of the wall, and come from all over the UK. The furnishing is reassuringly traditional with small narrow wooden tables that can barely accommodate 4 glasses. The real aler here is dispensed through the traditional Scottish font system which can cause alarm to some who haven't encountered this before-they look like keg dispensers initially but fear not! Be sure to ask the bar staff about this interesting method of dispensing real ale. 6 beers are on offer, always Deuchars and Trade Winds plus guests from Scottish microbreweries and further afield. Also one of the best selections of malt whiskeys in the city. This is one of the must visit pubs in Edinburgh and a visit is highly recommended. Carlurmston - 14 Dec 2009 16:28 |
| Excellent, unspoilt bar. Welcomes a wide-ranging clientele with a wide range of real beer. Recommended. ericonabike - 28 Oct 2009 16:38 |
| This is a great place if you want to escape the hustle and bustle of Edinburgh. There's nothing flashy about the Bow bar, it's just a fine drinking establishment. Up to 8 real ales available. I had an excellent pint of Stewart's 80 shillings on my last visit at £3 a pint. A great place to unwind after a hard day. Grailhunter - 11 Sep 2009 13:49 |
| Exactly as I was hoping, this gives it to you straight. No music, no gimmicks, just handpumps(from some very interesting micros in addition to the big names), whiskies(and then some!) and a good group of regulars. Doesn't at all feel like a 'city' pub either. Result getsit - 7 Sep 2009 19:09 |
