The Piper's Rest in Edinburgh

Centrally located just off the Royal Mile, a narrow cafe bar much deeper than it looks as it goes back a fair way. The counter and some higher seating forms the front part with lower seating in a corridor like area, then at the rear is a wider area set up for dining. Eight keg taps on two horseshoes serve a standard range of lager, Guinness and ciders, there’s a small, for a Scottish bar, range of malts. Decor consists of cask ends inscribed with the names of various distilleries and a few “witty” sayings on beams. The front has pictures of a Scottish nature while the small rear section has photos of Scottish sporting, acting and music heroes and heroines as well as tartan upholstery and antler light fittings. Notices and menus are written in a central belt / Scots dialect, eg “scran” and “swally” (food and drink). Live music is advertised seven nights a week. The toilets, obviously labelled lassies and lads, had a recording of a Billy Connolly show playing. Priced and outwardly looking posh but a touch down market and naturally aimed at tourists.

Blue Pig in Grantham
The Blue Pig has a large U-shaped counter on the right-hand wall that supports standard and premium keg as well as six hand pumps that were drawing TT Landlord, London Pride, Adnams Broadside, St Austell’s Proper Job, Butcombe Gold and Robinson’s Trooper. This counter breaks the pub up into three sections where it serves a front seating area where a dart match was in progress, seating up the left in what would probably be considered the main bar and a rear bar where it’s mostly standing room, although at the rear steps lead up to some additional seating. I missed the hand pumps as I entered so ended up ordering a pint of Fosters which was only £2.80 a pint. It was busy, especially for a Tuesday evening, so I retreated to the raised seating at the rear where I noted lots of fairy lights across the old ceiling beams throughout the pub. There was some background music playing and Sky Sports is advertised, although I don’t recall any televisions being on. This place has the feel of a popular local’s boozer and I liked it so would return.

The gap. It’s not going to be too bad this year with a boooorrrinnnnng Superbowl* coming a bit later in the shortened month. At least there was a nice ad for Bud. But, even with that, this gap between the end of the last football game and the start of ....
