Spylaw

Attractive, comfortable pub set in an historic village now absorbed by the city. Refurbished to a very high standard in May 2019 under new management. Bar located in front area furnished with high stools and high tables and other areas furnished with booths and tables mainly for dining. A conservatory area has windows that overlook the garden and Colinton Dell. Three course meals or bar bites are freshly prepared and served all day. The changing real ales are usually one at session ale strength and one at 4.5 to 5% ABV. Ideal stop when walking the Water of Leith path. Previously known as Spylaw Tavern, Royal Scot and Colinton Dell Railway Inn. The railway connection explains the 1874 logo as that is when the Colinton Railway Station opened (closed in 1967). SIBA sourced ales tend to be from a 50 mile radius. Rate my beer is used to help decide choice. The premises manager also runs The Hermitage, Comiston Road in Morningside.
