Can't recommend this place enough. Just happened to find it near my hotel and ended up eating one of the best meals I'd had on my entire trip. Joseph was an amazing server and made some great beer and whisky suggestions. Loved it enough to come back again another evening!
Just the best way to end your day after a long walk in the city. Service was fast and the food was good! i also liked that they had the small portions (wee)
You don't often find nice, authentic and affordable pubs, especially not in Edinburgh City centre!

And this one could be the one.
I ate in the restaurant upstairs and the servers were all very nice and the atmosphere very warm!
Can't wait to come back!!
Great range of real ales, and most were still on even on a Sunday where many pubs struggle. I only had two pints; both were pretty good. On a previous visit I had a pint of landlord, which was also top quality.
