The Western Bar, Edinburgh

A small, smelly dive bar, part of the "Hairy Traingle" where strippers strut their stuff on a tiny stage stuck halfway up a wall. I've been dragged here a couple of times with colleagues from work. No real ale and certainly no class.

One of the three bars in Edinburgh's "Pubic Triangle", the Western Bar is a small, crowded gentlemen's bar with a tiny raised stage at one end (above the toilets) where ladies dance, three small curtained booths and an upstairs bit which we didn't enter. No real ale, so we had to drink megakeg, but at least it was in glass glasses rather than plastic as one often finds in these places. The music was too loud, and the punters single minded. Not worth including in a crawl, and probably best left to stags and those with the special brand of entertainment on their minds.

The lesser, and more tacky looking, of the three strip clubs in this area, but still open when I passed by yesterday (yes I did pass by!)
