The Black Rose Tavern, Edinburgh

Been going here on and off since 1981 and it's always been dark, dingy and the toilets filthy. However the atmosphere has always been friendly until today. Today I called in with my wife picked up a menu only to have it snatched out my hand by a drunk customer who then threatened to assault me for no reason!! The people on the next table got up and left in discuss and after being threatened again I decided to leave as the staff did nothing. The threats off the drunk don't bother me it's the fact the staff were happy to turn a blind eye. I'll not be going back and everyone who tells me they're going to Edinburgh I'll be telling them to give this place a wide berth.
