Came back her after a 3 year absence and not sure about the change!
Used to come here after a night out for a few whiskies as the bar staff knew how to guide you!
Last night the guidance was to point at one whisky menu stuck on bar!
Does look very well updated but can't see what's been gained!

Now promoted as a craft beer establishment and shortened to just 'Gait', this pub does have some real ales. Although it was one of the pricier establishments I found in Edinburgh. The interior is fairly modern, but retains some religious artefacts as befitted it's previous name. Ales were An Teallach Crofters Pale Ale & An Teallach Ale, Born In The Borders Holy Cow, Old Worthy Wild Bill's Aces & Eights Salted Chocolate Stout, Windswept Blonde & Natural Selection Bitter Descent. Lacked atmosphere. But certainly has a good selection of ales - both real and craft.

@ Nokegthanks
I think Farage's supporters are too busy smoking and gobbing outside the door in the sleet to worry about beer quality.
:D

Seems the boy Farage, (he of UKIP) encountered some protesters here, hope the beer is better than his politics!

If you like you modern pub then give this a visit but it is not to my liking. Background music was pleasant and not intrusive (vinyl played on a turntable). Beer was passable. Overall I was a bit disappointed. May come here again if only to see if things have got better.

The ale most of us had was quite good and a decent selection that was rotated. However, end of barrel fayre was not good. Not the best ambience or décor and not many people there though was mid Thursday. Better pubs on royal mile by my reckoning.

Nice pub, open for both drinkers and eaters. Food was amazing and good value, great beers from Tempest and Tryst, friendly and helpful service.
Very good!
|
Good beers served a room temperature rather than too bloody cold for a change. four on in total from Tryst and Stewart breweries. Tried and enjoyed the Stewarts 80/-

Went in there for the first time in ~6 years last week (I used to be a regular) and we stayed there all evening so it must have been OK. Beer good but a bit pricey. Pleasant, quiet atmosphere and staff seemed OK.

Fairly smart boozer, done up just after nearby parliament opened. Free comedy venue in the festival and good Mexican two doors up.
