The Abbotsford, Edinburgh

The Abbotsford is situated on a busy corner in Rose Street. It is small but spread over two levels. Downstairs is a busy high street bar, whiel upstairs is quieter and a good place to sit and eat. I had a very well cooked haggis at a fair price. There were 6 ales on - my pint of Nimbus was very well kept and most enjoyable. I wish I could have stayed for more. A good traditional pub, well worth a visit and a must for a Rose Street crawl.

Superb Scottish style central island bar with long bench tables around the perimeter, wood panelled walks up to shoulder height and ornate ceiling. There were four ales on and the Strathavon Red ale was superb. prices are similar to those in London but I suppose being in a busy Edinburgh street that's only to be expected.
