No cask. Keg offering of Aspall, Innis & Gunn, Joker IPA and Budvar.
Ostensibly a small wine bar with a draught beer offering. Bare boarded venue with tightly packed tables and a lot going on on the walls! Some tall stools at the bar counter. Small snug behind the main bar area. Quite loud 80's music on during my visit a bit before 11pm. Had to take last stool at the bar counter as all the other seating taken, not really a venue that works if you have to stand, but quite pleasant to end my (re)introduction to what were the upper echelons of the Edinburgh Central pub scene with something a bit different and a glass of a nice Rioja as the basic draught beer selection here was a step down from all the other venues I had taken (all of my list that I arrived here with and a couple of wild cards).
