The Mitre Bar, Edinburgh

The Mitre is a very busy town pub on the Royal Mile. The single large bar feels a bit segmented due to its layout, and the tendency of customers to crowd around the door area makes it feel less welcoming than it is. Food is average. There is usually two ales on, and this time I had Deuchres. It was a decent pint, served at the right temperature, but not the best I've had locally. I'm always happy to drop in here (it's the closest pub to the hotel I use), and it's a convenient place to meet people (easy to find) but I usually move on to one of the "first fifteen" pubs afterwards. It's worth including in a crawl.
