The Stockbridge Tap, Stockbridge, Edinburgh

The promising name was justified by the variety of well kept real ales on offer, including price and strength details. I found the bright lighting and modern decor a bit out of kilter with the real ale pub ambience, however. It would be better if it was darker and more old fashioned looking.

New looking pub both inside and out but has retained what perhaps was it's original layout, including a serving hatch at the rear of the bar. The light woods and cream decor give it a nice bright feel, perhaps too bright in the front bar when the sun shines. Walls are covered in old Edinburgh Brewery mirrors including a large one advertising Ushers Pale Ale. Deserving of its 'Tap' tag with 6 real ales on all displayed on a blackboard showing brewery strength and price, around £3.00 a pint.

Renamed 'The Stockbridge Tap'
