| Place to come if you are on the Top of the Royal Mile. Slightly hidden from view, appealing to a different type of pub goer. Its tiny, so space is limited. The beers are great quality and value and they provide tasters if you need help selecting from unknown local brewers. One of my favourites in a great city.

| Small boozer just off the high street. Ales were well kept and seemed friendly enough. Worth a visit. d.franks - 11 Feb 2016 10:48 |
| The Blue Blazer was my favourite pub from my first day of Edinburgh drinking. Ales were Loch Lomond Hop Trial, Knopa India Pale Ale & Cromarty Brewed Awakening. I tried the Brewed Awakening which was a really intense coffee stout - very nice indeed. For ciders, I only initially spotted Westons Rosies Pig. But then I noticed a blackboard with 3 more listed - Blaengawney Hallets Heart Breaker, Olivers Gold Rush & Hogans Hazy Daisy. Needless to say, I stayed for 2 more ciders before falling back up the stairs. This is a basement pub accessed from an alleyway. It has little natural light. It seemed popular with tourists. The only downside I could see was that locals didn't seem the most welcoming, or maybe they'd just had a bad day. I'll definitely pay this pub a visit next time I'm in Edinburgh. 8/10. blue_scrumpy - 30 Jul 2015 21:13 |
| Friendly welcome from the lad behind the bar. Two stouts on - a bonus after a couple of weeks in Scotland and the plethora of pale hoppy beers and keg crap. There was also a cider fest on with a fave of mine on - Gwatkins Norman. Sadly I couldn't have any as I was on beer and don't like to mix. Bugger! I first went in here many years ago and I remember it as being nice and dark with lots of little dingy corners. Sadly, it now seems to have been done up in a totally incongruous style trying to brighten it up a bit and losing that little charm. littledrummerboy - 29 Sep 2014 23:29 |
| iamspartacus says it all. Used to come here 20 years ago but all the life has gone out of it with the 'improvements'. Kenny260556 - 6 May 2013 14:17 |
