See more about this pub on CAMRA's national web site

Located just to the south of the Old Town, this pub has existed on its present site for over 140 years. Although it is just off busy Nicholson Street and handy for the nearby Festival Theatre it is often missed by tourists. It is a characterful, lively, small public bar that holds regular folk music sessions. It comprises one narrow room with an L-shaped bar and superb wooden gantry. The two real ales are normally from local breweries. No under 18's are permitted inside. CAMRA Edinburgh Real Ale Quality Award runner up 2024.
