The Barony Bar, Edinburgh

Good honest local. The Barony has an excellent reputation for beer with interesting guests including Stewart's ales. Perhaps my one grumble is that the selection is sometimes all light, golden ales, but really, it's a minor one. Good value food and friendly staff.

The Holyrood Tavern, Edinburgh

Looking at my previous review, I think I was half cut when I wrote it. So, I now pop in here on my way home form work now and again. Consistently good range of beers from real ales to interesting keg beers and bottles. Deservedly busy and great to see this classic Edinburgh boozer doing well.

The Street, Edinburgh

Pfft, ignore the detractors. This is a great, friendly little gay/mixed bar with a club downstairs, so don't come here expecting a cosy fire, dogs and a pint of fine ale. Anyway, they serve Caledonian Three Hop Lager in a big comedy tankard for the beer fancier. Take your foaming tankard of Caley outside after work in the summer and watch the world (and the jakeys) go by.
