Dirty Dicks, Edinburgh

A dark old bar with a varied collection of stuff, whisky boxes, railway tickets, pots, things nailed to the ceiling, the door to the Gents is a work of art in an old junk kind of way. All very contrived by an interior decorator and not like the collections often seen that have grown organically. Four pulls of Scottish ales, one of which is Deuchars but the others are of decent quality, the keg offering is mostly UK standards with a couple of interlopers from Caledonia. All a wee bit cramped furniture-wise, there's a nice new old stone floor and an old fireplace. It's dark as the lighting is almost all by candles with very few electric light bulbs.

Always call in worth a look in to see the curios and other things on the walls
