Malt & Hops, Viewforth, Edinburgh

As it is no longer a pub we have marked it as closed

A bar set up by disposessed Liverpool dockers following a long strike in the 1990s. Décor with a revolutionary theme but pleasant enough. Only sells a wide range of keg beers but that includes the drinkable Staropramen and Hoegaarden. There's a big room at the back which had Salsa dancing going on when I called in here on my way between the Phily opposite and the Everyman just up the road.

Malt & Hops now an Italian restaurant called L' Amore D' Italia. [edit: actioned 27/10/09]
