The Mitre Bar, Edinburgh

A Nicholson’s house with very high and impressive ceilings, an almost as impressive counter and bar-back and some decent etched glass here and there at the front. Six pulls, one with Nicholson's Pale Ale the others with a selection of Scots beers dominated by Caledonian with Harviestoun a close second and up to Nicholson's middling to good quality. A bit of a mix of designers Victorian furniture and decor-wise it's photos of old Edinburgh here, a bookcase there, embellished with both low leather and tall seating which is a bit high for some of the older customers. On the Royal Mile but not hugely over the top.

A Nicholson's pub located on the royal mile. 6 real ales and food served. As per usual with Nicholson's an ornate old style interior. Live music advertised.

Nicholsons pub on the Royal Mile, decorated formally in their style, it has their usual range of beers, and a good choice of whisky. Very Edinburgh like, high ceilings, polished bar etc, its a good size and has a relaxed feel. Fine place for a stop off.

The Mitre is a very busy town pub on the Royal Mile. The single large bar feels a bit segmented due to its layout, and the tendency of customers to crowd around the door area makes it feel less welcoming than it is. Food is average. There is usually two ales on, and this time I had Deuchres. It was a decent pint, served at the right temperature, but not the best I've had locally. I'm always happy to drop in here (it's the closest pub to the hotel I use), and it's a convenient place to meet people (easy to find) but I usually move on to one of the "first fifteen" pubs afterwards. It's worth including in a crawl.
