A traditional pub that is popular with locals. It boasts high ceilings and a largely wooden interior, with interesting mirrors and period photos on the walls. There are numerous comfortable booths along the walls and two separate lounge areas. Pies and toasties are available. Multiple TVs show sporting events, though the volume is typically kept low. Handy for Murrayfield rugby and Tynecastle football stadiums. Children are not admitted. NOTE: This pub often serves a Pilot beer labelled “Pours like cask, fresh from the keg” by handpump. CAMRA classifies this as Real Ale IN THIS PUB as the beer is Live and a cask breather/aspirator used to maintain the protective gas blanket at atmospheric pressure. Runner-up in the CAMRA Edinburgh Pub of the year 2022.
