The Grosvenor, Edinburgh

Although you wouldn't really expect it from the narrow frontage, this Taylor Walker pub is quite substantial with a long rectangular bar with a side room of similar size. Attractive furniture and decor (including some booths) similar to a Nicholsons. Unfortunately, just one of the four handpumps was working and I needed to ask for a top-up of my Caledonian Flying Scotsman (£3.60, served in the right glass). Even more unfortunately, the barmaid proved very reluctant and started talking about 5% head when the issue with the 'lively' beer was closer to 15%. Anyway, when I finally got something resembling a pint it turned out that the beer was fine (even if the 'choice' or service was not). Overall, will probably give it another try as I may have caught it on a bad day.

Taylor Walker pub with an old style ornate interior. 4 real ales and food served.

hmmm... for such a great location this pub is disappointing..grumpy staff too!
