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. WARNING: In Feb 2025 one of the handpumps is serving a Pilot Beer from a sealed keg but with minimal CO2 pressure applied, so it doesn't taste fizzy. It's the same beer that may also be put in casks. Ask the staff for more information if required. Runner-up in the CAMRA Edinburgh Pub of the year 2022.
