One of the best spots in the city for cask ale, with a focus on bitters. Very friendly staff and with a lovely, spacious back area, it's a staple of Edinburgh's classic pubs.

Has an interesting ever changing collection of cask ales. Lots of other stuff too, especially whiskies, but I can't really comment, I'm a cask ale guy.
