A little bit locally but nice building inside. Musics a bit loud but beer is good. Small but nice bar

A very pleasant pub off the city centre, popular with the locals. Six ales on the bar, I had a decent bitter. exposed stone walls, beams and some very interesting decor. an elderly local couple were chatting away with a young American couple next to me, it’s definitely a proper pub. Didn’t notice any food and the jukebox was out of action.

The Ye Old Elm Tree is quite close to the Angel pub.
This is a nice looking pub from the outside,once inside there is an L shaped room to the front with the bar facing,the room is carpeted and has cmfy bench seating and small stools,there is also a separate room up a few steps to the front right which is also carpeted and has bench seating and chairs.
There was a very good choice of real ales on the bar,i had a drink of Brass Castle Northern Blonde which went down very well,the other beers were Caledonian Edinburgh Castle,Rudgate Brew No 26 and Hobgoblin.
The pub was quite busy on my Saturday afternoon visit.
I quite liked this pub.
