hondo . left this review about Penny Black

New name and had a refurb that has smartened it up but at the cost of the character that made it somewhere different. Exposed brickwork, wooden floors and no rock jukebox now. 1 real on during my visit.

Colin Walker left this review about The Black Bull

The Black Bull is situated at the junction of Leith Street & Carlton Road. The pubs sit’s in a basement level and is very easy to miss. The pub advertises itself as Edinburgh’s original rock bar, with a Rock & Metal music style jukebox. The place sells up to 50 different blends of Bourbon.
