Deacon Brodies Tavern, Edinburgh

To really appreciate this pubs historic interior, I recommend an early doors visit at 11am or perhaps in the winter time out of season. The pub was absolutely jammed on our Thursday afternoon visit, mostly tourists, can't comment as we were too. I marvelled at the ornate decorative ceiling and managed to get a glimpse at the end of the bar area and wall mural. Five ales on handpump, Nicholson's Pale, St Austell, Deuchars, Stewart 80 and Stewart Black Jack. The prices were steep as you would expect from this chain.

Deacon Brodies sits on a prime corner site on the Royal Mile. This pub on 2 levels has a large selection of drinks like a lot of Nicholson pubs on which this is one. With over 20 whiskies. Lots of craft beers, beers from around the world and over 25 gins.
