The barmaid was super hot. I’m glad I’m divorced. What a hot hot hot women. And they do good beer too. It was a saturday luch time when our eyes first met.

This is one of Edinburghs finest bars, Can get very busy, and has the narrowest tables i have ever seen. The Beer selection is Really good and the Quality Excelent. May not be as trendy as any of the grassmarket pubs but you’ll be hard pushed to find a decent beer in the grassmarket. Id say a must if your in the area.This is my TOP equal choice of Edinburgh bars (along with Cloisters)

In this basic, long and narrow pub room you will find 8 cask ales (mostly British in my 2 visits) with lots of seasonals and some rarities. The place is pretty quiet as it can’t hold that many people, but it greatly lacks atmosphere, which is why I wouldn’t see myself spending a full evening here. If you are a beer geek though, you will get enough real ales to keep you busy for a few hours, and as a visitor to Edinburgh, you will pass through the nearby Grassmarket, so why not pass by and see what’s being served? I’ve only been twice so far, and was rewarded with great selections (Dark Star, Ossett, Harviestoun, etc.) of well-tendered ales both times.

Classic little bar which is actually a fairly new recreation of an Edinburgh pub - not so’s you would notice though, it seems as if it’s been there for ever. Serves eight beers on air fount (NOT KEG!!!) and has a great selection of single malts too. The only food seems to be pies! Excellent little pub, and an essential visit when in Edinburgh - the beers are amongst the best you’ll find in town.

Bar near the famous Grassmarket. Old wooden interior, but quite boring. Couple of taps availalbe with nice selection of scottish ales. No food available, except for the croque monsieurs which are prepared on the counter. The lady behind the bar had a moustache, and maybe that shouldn’t matter, but it does not help either. So, don’t visit this smelly bar, cos if you wander around you will find at least 20 better bars.

Lovely bar tucked away in the historic Old Town district. Amazing selection of single malt whisky but I was drinking the ales on my visit. Good selection of mainly Scottish ales available.

Quaint authentic bar hidden away in Edinburgh’s old town. This justifies the search with its interesting selection of cask ales generally in tip top condition poured through traditional gravity fonts.
