Expanded row of rooms on a corner, with a central curved bar counter. Five hand pumps either side of a pillar, those to the right being regulars (Old Speckled Hen, Landlord, Deuchars, Stewart Citra Blonde and Orkney Best) and on the left four guests. I went for Orkney Man O'Hoy, a 4.2% pale in very good condition (NBSS 3.5, £5.20/pint). Much quieter than the nearby Barony, with most of the customers about 30 years older than most of theirs.

Very good locals pub thats only just outside the City Centre. Tie it in with a walk over Calton Hill.
Corner, curved pub - with a central U shaped bar. Bench seating and tables all around. TVs with sport on but volume low.
Lots of cask choice - I can remember my usual TT Landlord on but when abroad, best to experiment with a perfect Swannay Scapa Special.
Lovely pub.

Real Ale Ray left this review about Cask & Barrel
A good sized pub with a hearty atmosphere from both the customers and staff behind the bar. The service and beer quality was excellent, ten handpumps which were all in use on our Thursday evening visit. The beer board read House Ales, Marston's Pedigree, TT Landlord, Stewart Jack Back, Caledonian Deuchars, Swanney Orkney Best. The guests were Hadrian Borders Secret Kingdom plus Northern IPA, Salopian Lemon Dream, Red Mcgregor Orkney and Fyne Jarl.
