The Last Drop, Edinburgh

A pub well described by previous reviewers and I found it a pleasant place with its wooden beams, stone walls and brick archways leading to a back room covered in fake and real ( a lot signed) foreign banknotes and colourful event posters. Although I will agree it does have a slightly touristic manufactured feel to it. Like all the pubs on the north side of the Grass market it does have decent outside seating from which to enjoy the Grassmarket atmosphere on a fine weather day. Probably the most significant change from previous reviews is that The Last Drop is now part of the Nicholson chain, bringing the number of their establishments in Edinburgh up to seven. And as such all the hand pumps (I think I counted 4 but won’t swear to it) were on the go and dispensing beers from the current Nicholson Summer list and had to go for the Inveralmond brewery Homecoming Scotland. Nicholsons seem to be looking after their other Edinburgh establishments on the evidence of a couple of the others I utilised over this weekend, so hopefully they will continue to improve the Real ale offerings in The Last Drop.

Like all the pubs down the Grassmarket worth a visit
