Long one of my favourite bars, I visited twice with friends over the weekend

The bar retains its quirky style and atmosphere for the Covid Era, along with good beer and staff with great attitude who were totally on their game.

I miss queuing at the bar, but they have the table service thing nailed.

It’s difficult to judge what this place would be like “normally” as Covid changes have really been taken very seriously indeed here. There’s a one way system and shower curtains hung up between the tables(!) Maybe I’m just too relaxed about everything but I found it ever so slightly over the top. Nonetheless, for people worried about catching the virus, this is probably a good choice. Although people like that are probably going to be staying at home anyway.

I did like the fact that this is a gay PUB with real ale, not a bar. There is a distinct lack of traditional pubs on the gay scene and I liked the atmosphere in here, or I would have done if there was anyone else there. Sadly, kept to your own tables it’s impossible to socialise at all, which is of course not the pub’s fault. I will visit again next time I’m in Edinburgh when Covid-19 has been consigned to the history books.

A wonderful, happy, chilled, welcoming neighbourhood pub. This is what all pubs should be! I could genuinely stay here all day and night. LOVE!

Great to experience this bar making the most of it during the restrictions and dispite the music ban we still had a nice afternoon with a few beers! Thanks to the pleasant staff for making our visit chilled out! We'll be back x
