Real ale discount scheme

A traditional pub that reflects the history and heritage of the New Town. The split-level single room has an intimate cosy feel with wooden floors and subdued décor, along with large mirrors (not brewery/distillery related).

The emphasis is on local products so the cask ales are usually from Scottish independent breweries and there is a good selection of Scottish gins and malt whiskies.

It has become a centre for Scottish folk music several evenings a week.

Well worth seeking out to avoid the much visited tourist trail pubs.

Children are not admitted.

Information for this venue is provided by the Edinburgh & South East Scotland Branch of CAMRA
