The Black Bull Tavern, Edinburgh

The Black Bull is the oldest established rock bar in Edinburgh having been a dedicated music establishment for 20 years. They now sell Strongbow Cider on tap, and although Belhaven Best is still the only ale on tap, they now sell alongside Newcastle Brown Ale: Deuchars IPA, Twisted Thistle IPA, Innis & Gunn, Chimay, Erdinger as well as a couple of fruit beers for the more adventurous. This pub is known for having the best juke-box in Edinburgh and for good reason - it has an eclectic mix of rock, metal, punk & ska with none of the chart metal and not a lot for indie or emo kids either! Compared to other pubs in the area, prices are pretty good with promos being run on a monthly basis (bottled beers start from �1.99), COme here if you want a no-nonsense, pure rock bar with friendly staff and a pool table!
