Improve This Listing

A modern recreation of a Scottish city tenement bar. The single room, with windows front and back, is divided by a horseshoe bar with a dark-wood gantry adorned with decorative wooden casks. The walls support a fine range of old photos, advertisements and historic brewery and distillery mirrors. Sport is screened on multiple TVs with the sound normally low. Folk music sessions held every Sunday evening. This is a good place to try real ales from interesting breweries UK-wide. Children are not admitted.

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