Comfortable small bar with an attractive painted ceiling just off the Royal Mile hidden down an Old Town close. Outdoor tables in the close provide extra seating. The real ales are usually from smaller breweries UK-wide, sparklers occasionally used. A varying selection of six ciders is also available. This is a welcome spot for refreshment after visiting the castle and other old town attractions. Dogs are permitted but no children inside.
