It is sadly rare to find a 60/- these days, so tonight we have the pleasure of serving McEwan's 60/-! https://t.co/BlnX8E1mFN

Hidden away down a snicket off Lawnmarket,this small cellar bar does have some seating outside but only useful in good weather.
The interior has a low ceiling,exposed stonework ,a tartan carpet in places and small tables and stools.It wouldn't take many punters in to make it feel crowded.
The ale selection was Cross Borders Braw,Cromarty White Out and Fyne Castle Black (NBSS 4) with another ale still conditioning.The welcome was friendly.
I liked it and would most certainly return.So much better than some tourist trap pubs around the Royal Mile.Deserved it's 2023 GBG listing.

Place to come if you are on the Top of the Royal Mile. Slightly hidden from view, appealing to a different type of pub goer.
Its tiny, so space is limited. The beers are great quality and value and they provide tasters if you need help selecting from unknown local brewers.
One of my favourites in a great city.

Subterranean cellar bar. Long narrow room with exposed beams and floorboards which have had tropical fruits drawn on them (why?). Collection of banknotes on the bar ceiling. Quite a characterful and comfortable pub though more modern in places than might be expected (refurb in 2008 apparently?). Four pumps with three on; Clock Red Ale (very good nick), Swannay Yardstock (good) and Talleach Hector Inverness (excellent). Token cider, Westons. Football on the TV, unexpected. Had a punt on a hot toddy but it was pretty poorly made. Edinburgh tick-box was the American tourist wanting to make conversation, to be fair he was a decent sort. Overall, not bad and it’s on-par with the Halfway House based on my visit to both; in fact I think I preferred here, just.
