A live music bar in the heart of the Old Town. I'm lucky in that the live music hasn't started yet, but unlucky in that Good Vibrations is on the sound system and my half of Blonde, or session IPA, from Pilot Brewery is pretty sub-ordinary. I'm sitting here admiring the skill of the plasterers who have made the bar counter look like it is made of bricks with ancient plaster peeling off. Time I moved on.

A late night bar located in a basement just off the Royal Mile, known among my associates as "The 3AM Bar". Entered either through a steep stairway from South Bridge or through a more conventional door down the hill, it consists of three drinking areas and a stage for bands. The last band I saw here was pretty dire, although you do get the odd gem. Live music is a regular feature. Staff are usually helpful and friendly, while the clientele is certainly eclectic - just about anyone who fancies a drink after 11pm. It went through a phase of charging entry, but that seems to have stopped now. There's usually one ale on - this time it was Red Cuillin, a decent pint and just what's needed at that time of night. Probably not worth including in a crawl during normal hours but I am always happy to pop in for that last pint before bedtime.
