Located in the catacombs of the Old Town, Bannermans is well known for its live, often rock, music seven nights a week. It consists of a warren of vaulted rooms with bare stone walls, flagstone floors and ceilings draped with flags and posters giving the pub a unique atmosphere. There's a warm welcome for all, except children who are not admitted.

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