Usual decent array of cask beers in this JDW by the station. On offer were the usual Doom Bar, Abbot, then Skinful from BearTown, the 80/- from Belhaven, the Black Dragon cider from Gwynt y Ddraig and the same from Thistly Cross and even the Clear Spot from Burning Sky. Keg usual suspects of Stella, Bud Light, Stowford Press, Budweiser, Tenants, Original and dark fruits SB, Corona, Carlsberg, Guinness, Angelo Poretti, BrewDog Punk IPA, Coors, Carling, K1664, Worthington CF, Leffe Blonde, the Innis & Gunn lager and Mangoes on the Run IPA, Edinburgh Gold and the Hazy IPA from Stewart's Brewing.

I initially made a mess of finding this place until I spotted the JDW sign up the steep ramp taking you outside the middle of the station. Typical JDW venue, mix of carpet and bare boards, the long bar counter at the rear of the venue, sky light in the middle of the venue and loads of tightly packed tables and chairs, regular and tall, some booths and banquettes thrown in for good measure. Furiously busy on my visit, no screens and no music just the chatter of patrons enjoying the low beer prices. Felt like I had to tick but not one of the memorable ones on my trip to Edinburgh. Clear relegation material in the JDW league of Edinburgh Central pubs on ambiance but I imagine Timbo makes a packet from it!
