The Malt and Hops, Leith

I think the previous reviwers are going to have to revise their comments owing to a recent change of ownership. ONCE a haven from prefab pubs, top notch ales and friendly staff, NOW rather shabby, poor standards and unpleasant inattentive staff. Take my advise and walk right past the place in favour of Carrier's Quarters (round the corner at the traffic lights) you'll find most of their old regulars there anyway! A sad demise for a well loved and respected gem!

The Pheasant, Haddington

Brilliant, fun & friendly local's bar 'where everyone knows your name' yet inclusive enough to make welcome the quiet newspaper reading stranger. Regular entertainment from quiz night, karaoke, live music and dj's to themed nights. Massive drink selection (check out the world beer range)and the best jukebox I've ever fed. The perfect counterpoint to soulless chain bars and manky old style boozers! Go, introduce yourself, settle in and give Mz Honeycombe my love!! Oh yeah....did I forget to mention the parrot.......

If fag tinted gummy geriatrics are your ideal drinking companions then grab the racing post and get your incontinent arse and get down there!
