The classic Edinburgh pub, tucked away in the new town and in possession of a small bar and a stark but atmospheric side room that one imagines is just how pubs in the eighteenth century would have been. A good range of Scottish ales that do something to offset the impression that beers north of the border are inferior – Trade Winds from Cairngorm is a mainstay while Harviestoun’s Bitter and Twisted also graced the pumps.

Thought for a minute it had been gentrified but the paint job extended only as far as the exterior.

Exactly as I remember it and yes, I am a touristy Rebus fan here for the fiction.

Intimidating, rough around the edges and I wouldn't change a thing about it.

Following in the footsteps of Rebus/Rankin is why, I'm sure, most people come here; but it is a good old-fashioned beershop and the beers are very well kept. The Inveralmond Ossian was on damn good form and the place has lots of good old dark charm.

This small and homely bar in the New Town area was my last pub of the day before my flight back to London.

3 beers on, I had a pint of Lantern Jack from Broughton Ales which was a decent pint.

The real log fire was on full pelt in the back room which in turn made the bar very warm…almost too warm.

Decent pub / bar that’s worth searching out for a few beers

OK for one or two to experience the ambience of the place...then move on. Beer quality good and the house blend is not bad at all.
