"I 'm not a pub person, usually, but in another life this establishment was my watering hole whilst waiting for a special someone to emerge from work or something nicer. We are told that evolution is almost mandatory, but I don 't agree. 25 years later, and it 's just like coming home. Same welcome, same atmosphere, didn 't use the toilet so no evidence of inflatable sheep next to a machine selling tartan condoms as there was in 2009! Usual selection of alcoholic offerings, plenty of regional ales to keep me happy. Didn 't eat this time, but there 's no reason to suspect anything different other than excellence. No Muzak , plenty of soft furnishing and corners to lurk in. Being at the far end of the 'Royal Mile ' has it 's advantages. It can get busy around food times, but on a cold winter night out of the tourist season (whenever that is) a welcome place to sit, consume a leisurely pint and read without pressure. Gets my vote too as hasn 't adopted the 'treat the customer as a leper ' card only philosophy, which I find lazy and insulting, and instantly avoidable. A huge bonus was they are (well behaved) dog friendly, even to the extent of keeping dog treats, though you might like to choose somewhere larger if your canine companion is much bigger than a Border Collie, say.... Having experienced hostility elsewhere on the day of our visit, following a recent decision by Wetherspoons to ban dogs other than service dogs, this place was a very welcome refuge from the terrible weather outside. I 'm sure the proprietors won 't mind me mentioning their sad, involuntary claim to infamy. Long ago in another time, though recent developments in forensic technology brought closure. I 'll leave it to you, dear reader, to do your own research.... Enjoy!"
