Absolutely lovely bar. I go here every time I'm up in Edinburgh.
Great Caley 80 and stovies.

[to the staff: thanks so much, you were great to me through last weekend, cheers.
(Black CBGBs sweatshirt, Caley 80, large Grouses, lots of papers. ;) See ya in spring.]

A beauty of a pub - beer quality was good and atmosphere cosy on a wild and wet Edinburgh day. Good selection of whiskys too.

A great bar, reasonable prices and good beer - friendly and not overcrowded. Will be back here in February.

A legendary edinburgh pub that has lost a bit of its magic over the years .

One-roomed traditional boozer in the Tolcross area of the city. It features on CAMRAs National Inventory due to it's ornate bar, etched windows and fine mirrors that line the wall opposite the bar. All of these features are complemented by attractive dark woodwork to give the feel of a proper unspoilt pub. A gas fire resides at the top end of the bar. The tables all have maps of varying scales of Edinburgh and Scotland- a nice touch. Real ale wise, it's not brilliant in terms of choice and can't compete with the nearby Blue Blazer or Cloisters in this respect- just 80/- and Deuchars, which can be bought in most pubs in the city. However, these are kept well and you usually can't go wrong with Deuchars anyway so it's not a major setback as far as I'm concerned. The traditional pub lover should make an effort to get here ,and it makes for a good crawl if combined with the aforementioned pubs.
