Same feel as the other Brewdog bars I have visited, lots of exposed brick work, plenty of stainless steel including all the air conditioning pipes and reclaimed furniture which give it more of a factory feel than a bar, and young hispters on both sides of the bar.
Loud music for my late evening visit, but then it probably had to be because the acoustics are terrible in this place.
Available beers displayed on two large chalkboards above the bar and went for a bottle of my usual favourite of Dead Pony Club.

Modern bar with the feel of a converted factory, its a trendy craft beer bar found on the dark and uninviting Cowgate. Its not large inside, a long thin bar with the vent pipes on show, trendy seating and slightly dark.
Modern bars aren't always a personal favourite, but this feels welcoming and comfortable, despite the building, and the staff were helful and knowledgable.
The beer is a personal fave, so that helped, especially as it was on top form.

A very modern pub with functional decor - looks like the inside of an indutrial from a science fiction film, slightly incongruous in its historic EH1 setting. Dark painted walls, exposed heating and ventillation pipes and sparse, functional flooring give it a very industrial feel, a beer factory rather than a pub. The cliemtele are a mixed bunch, mostly the younger element but a few CAMRA types and one or two tourists. Most of Brew Dog's beers were on tap, but I failed to count exactly how many. I had a pint each of Punk IPA and 5AM Saint, both in excellent condition and enjoyable. Well worth a visit if you like beer rather than pub ambiance, but if olde worlde charm and Auld Reekie atmosphere is what you want, stay away. Personally, I liked it and will be back, and it's worth including in a crawl.

Opened a Six on Tuesday 15th March 2011 in premised which housed the long closed Chasers Bar. No cask beers but Brewdog beers on tap the night we visited were Punk IPA £3.50 pt Trashy Blond £3.20 5A.M. Saint £3.50 Punk Monk £3.50 & Hardcore IPA at £2.0 a half. They also had about the same number of guest beers of which the Left Hand Brewery’s Imperial Stout 10.4% at £2.25 a half sent me home with a warm glow.
