A welcoming, cosy, traditional single-room tenement bar in the Morningside area of the City, well frequented by the local community. The pub has been tastefully refurbished with comfortable seating along three walls and a fine display of wines and spirits on elaborate shelving behind the bar. Photographs of old Edinburgh adorn the walls along with some interesting brewery mirrors and a stained glass window at the back.

The guest ales are mostly from Scotland although one real ale (badged Bennets Ale), from Hadrian Border Brewery in Newcastle, is always available at a very competitive price.

There is a paved outdoor drinking area to the front.

Children are not admitted but dogs are welcomed with treats freely available.

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