Comfortable, unpretentious, cosy wood-panelled bar with numerous pictures decorating the walls. The front area looks on to Leith Walk, the rear is divided into several smaller seating areas.

NOTE: This pub often serves a Pilot beer labelled “Pours like cask, fresh from the keg” by handpump. CAMRA classifies this as Real Ale IN THIS PUB as the beer is Live and a cask breather/aspirator used to maintain the protective gas blanket at atmospheric pressure.
