A cosy, characterful bar hidden halfway down an Old Town close, decorated with railway memorabilia. The front of the small, often busy, bar area has window seats, stools and tables. The rear area has more comfortable semi-circular booth seating. Heated pies, pasties and sausage rolls are available all day. The bar may stay open until 1am during busy times of year.

Really close to the Market Street entrance of Waverley Station so handy for a quick pint between trains as long as you can climb a few steps.

Children under 16 are not permitted.

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