Hectors
47-49 Deanhaugh St., Edinburgh EH4 1LR
A food-orientated open plan bar whose dark colour scheme is lightened by large picture windows at the entrance. On entering you are met by a series of high tables with stools that leads down a thin passage past the bar to a larger seating area at the rear. The hand pumps are prominently displayed on entering and a large Bass mirror is a feature behind the bar. Visit on a Sunday for roasts (12 - 5) and a quiz night.
Dagda Bar
93-95 Buccleuch St., Edinburgh EH8 9NG
Small ground-floor bar in an 18th-century tenement terrace, in the heart of a university area. A stone-flagged floor surrounds the large rectangular counter which takes up at least a third of the room. The colourful, mirrored gantry blends with the cornice, the joins blurred by an extensive collection of pumpclips. The bar is often busy, especially on Tuesday evening when a quiz is held. Children are not admitted.
Roseleaf
23-24 Sandport Place, Edinburgh EH6 6EW
Once the Black Swan, as is evidenced by a carving on the outside stonework, it possesses one of the few original bar layouts in the city. Two wood-panelled rooms contain an eclectic collection of furniture. The back snug is often booked for parties, with cocktails served from teapots. A special allergy food menu is available. It was the birthplace of Edinburgh & SE Scotland CAMRA on a foggy 16 January 1975 evening. The branch re-visited on 16 January 2015 to mark its 40th anniversary.
Thistle Street Bar
39 Thistle Street, Edinburgh EH2 1DY
Single room split-level pub in the heart of Edinburgh’s Georgian New Town. Bare wood floors and subdued decor, along with large mirrors (not brewery/distillery related), combine to give an old pub ambience, enhanced by a sympathetic renovation early in 2020 which helped to accentuate the period features. As the pub is slightly off the well-worn tourist trails, it is mostly frequented by locals. Note: Patio/garden temporarily closed Feb 2020.
Alhambra Bar
227 Leith Walk, Edinburgh EH6 8NX
NO REAL ALE………. NOTE: Any information shown may be out of date

Small, friendly locals' bar reopened in November 2019 after two years of closure. Attractive wood panelling and gantry and classic outward-sloping bar. Decorations and fittings done with great care by Hugo and Dan – interesting and eccentric collectables. The upstairs bar provides extra space in busy times, it has a bar but real ale needs to be bought downstairs and carried up. NOTE: Children are not admitted.
