This bistro style bar just off the Royal Mile occupies several levels of a building typical of Edinburgh's Old Town. The main, seemingly ground level, entrance leads into a pleasantly furnished split-level bar with elaborate coving. There is also a small snug. Stairs descend to another tiny snug which has access to a terrace with superb views over Victoria Street and the east end of the Grassmarket below.

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