JUN 2025 - Reopened on the 27th June. Open daily from 10am till late.

July 2026 Two handpumps installed, alternating in use, serving one cask ale at a time.

WAS - A popular & spacious cafe-style bar in a specialist cinema with a modern décor and an emphasis on table seating. Film-related prints and photos adorn the walls, many as curated exhibitions. One end of the bar dispenses the real ales. The guest ales are often from smaller Scottish breweries. Good quality food is served, with options for vegetarians and vegans. Not the cheapest bar in town, but it attracts many customers other than the cinema goers. The Usher Hall and the Lyceum and Traverse theatres are five minutes walk away.

NOTE: Alcohol may not be served before 11am

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