Mackenzies, Davidsons Mains, Edinburgh

Nice brick exterior, though the inside is a little threadbare. The memorabilia is naval in theme, which suits the pub - Benbow being an admiral who died during the War of the Spanish Succession, against the French, in 1702. The pub gives friendly service and a big choice of everything from real ales to bottled lagers (didn't see any French ones!) I had the Old Castle Dark MILD, which was quality and the Shropshire Stout, which wasn't so nice. Great pub, always to be visited when in Shrewsbury, especially with the Coach & Horses next door.

Pub renamed 'Mackenzies'. This is the name the pub was known as, by locals, when I frequented it in the early 70's although its not officially been called that until recently. Originally 'The Muirhouse Arms' becoming 'The Village Inn' before this latest name change.
