The Cask and Barrel, Edinburgh

Beer selection excellent, a little pricier than you might expect from the decor, but always interesting. Some staff can be a bit brusque while others are very welcoming. The big chap who looks like a bouncer behind the bar is offputting, and found fault where there was none on so many occasions we don't go there so often any more. Many pubs in the area that serve good beer but where you can count on a warmer reception, so they're not doing themselves any favours. Their other branch, in Southside, is first class.
