[Drinking] The best pub in, Edinburgh

[Sid and the Sharknados]

In another installment of "Sid has 4hours to kill in a random city", I have 4hours before my train home from Edinburgh.
Anybody have any recommendations?

Having recently spent 4 days in Edinburgh I can say it's whichever one you can get served in. Lacking staff, most on the Royal Mile had stopped food. Beer was decent though.

Hanging Bat
Vault City if you like sours

Thanks all.

Out of interest, and I'm sure you'll have mentioned this at some point but I'm not going to trawl your post history to find out, do you have a Scottish team?
I was just told by an old and very hoarse sounding Hearts supporter in a pub in Newhaven that "you English don't have a clue".
Seemed a nice lad. Genuinely.

Well you'll be on it when I start a Best Pub in, Glasgow thread in a couple of months.

The Starbank Inn, Newhaven, Edinburgh - Think the trams go nearby,

Posting too late to do Sid any good but in case someone in a similar situation finds this thread in future... my usual hangout when waiting for trains is the Halfway House on Fleshmarket Close (pub #4 in the video Mackenzie posted) because it's very cosy and about 30 seconds from the station entrance. Being so small it's not always easy to get a seat, though.

Ah, I ended up in a different pub in Newhaven, and lost my hat.
I still can't believe I lost my hat.

Again, thanks to all for contributing.

Bow Bar (up near the Camera Obscura) - good beer and whisky, no frills.
Jolly Judge (just round the corner) - basement, log fire
White Hart (if you end up in Grassmarket) - usually have live music

I used to enjoy the Rose Street Brewery and Deacon Brodies, but that was a fair few years ago.
