https://brewmook.wordpress.com/2015/08/13/the-beer-kitchen-lothian-road-edinburgh
A catalogue of pubs in central Edinburgh. The Beer Kitchen, Lothian Road, Edinburgh. August 13, 2015. In Edinburgh Castle Tour. The Beer Kitchen is Innis and Gunn’s first bar (see The BeerCast. For juicy details), restoring the premises to a pub rather than a strip joint. The last pub on this spot was The Bull and Bush I think, something in the region of 10 years ago.

#273: Browns, George Street, Edinburgh | Edinburgh Pubs
https://brewmook.wordpress.com/2014/08/26/273-browns-george-street-edinburgh
A catalogue of pubs in central Edinburgh. 273: Browns, George Street, Edinburgh. August 26, 2014. In Edinburgh Castle Tour. We nearly talked ourselves out of Browns because it’s more of a restaurant, but there is a bar and some tables that don’t seem that amenable to dining. It’s quite a pleasant, spacious interior with a classy appearance, some big plants, a brass-topped bar, dark wood and some old features like original cornices. Browns is a nationwide chain, owned by Mitchells and Butlers. Fill in you...

Sober October | Edinburgh Pubs
https://brewmook.wordpress.com/2014/10/11/sober-october
A catalogue of pubs in central Edinburgh. October 11, 2014. You’ve probably heard of Sober October. By now, a charity fundraising drive by Macmillan cancer support. Encouraging people to lay off the bevvy for a whole month. With this and “Dryuary” in January (such a bad brand name), I’ve noticed plenty of complaints from pubs, offies and breweries about these occasional alcohol-free drives which put a small dent in their bottom line. To them I say this: quit moaning and embrace it! In Germany, drivers an...

Marco’s Pool Hall, Grove Street, Edinburgh | Edinburgh Pubs
https://brewmook.wordpress.com/2014/11/12/marcos-pool-hall-grove-street-edinburgh
A catalogue of pubs in central Edinburgh. Marco’s Pool Hall, Grove Street, Edinburgh. November 12, 2014. In Edinburgh Castle Tour. I was lucky enough to be invited along for the “press and bloggers” preview night. In the interests of full disclosure, they plied us with free beer and nibbles, and we got to christen the tables. All kegs: Heineken, Fosters, Amstel, John Smith’s, Caledonian Three Hop, Strongbow. I’m surprised I didn’t spot anything Guinness-like (or I’m blind)....A subsidiary of Heineken.

A catalogue of pubs in central Edinburgh. The Shoogly Peg, Rose Street, Edinburgh. January 14, 2015. In Edinburgh Castle Tour. What used to be the The Gordon Arms. Is now The Shoogly Peg, a sister pub to The Rose and Crown. There’s nowt wrong with a quiet pub, and we stayed for a few beers and some food, enjoying the peace and quiet and quick, virtually exclusive service. Tuesday nights are generally quiet across town, even more so in January, but it seemed that most folk were drawn to the R...No real...

#22: The Spiders Web, Morrison Street, Edinburgh | Edinburgh Pubs
https://brewmook.wordpress.com/2013/08/22/22-the-spiders-web-morrison-street-edinburgh/comment-page-1
A catalogue of pubs in central Edinburgh. 22: The Spiders Web, Morrison Street, Edinburgh. August 22, 2013. In Edinburgh Castle Tour. Reopened February 2015 as “ The Jolly Botanist. On a Tuesday night after work this was fairly quiet, just a few locals huddled round the bar, and a young couple near the door. It seems like the sort of place that could get fairly lively at the weekend. Our round of 4 pints and a soft drink was 14.70, so let’s say around 3.30 per pint. February 1, 2015 at 8:40 pm. Now reope...

A catalogue of pubs in central Edinburgh. I can’t be bothered migrating this WordPress blog to a self-hosted site yet, so I can’t inject the map here directly. It currently lives here.

The Jolly Botanist, Morrison Street, Edinburgh | Edinburgh Pubs
https://brewmook.wordpress.com/2015/02/17/the-jolly-botanist-morrison-street-edinburgh
A catalogue of pubs in central Edinburgh. The Jolly Botanist, Morrison Street, Edinburgh. February 17, 2015. In Edinburgh Castle Tour. The Jolly Botanist is the newest pub in the West End, if not Edinburgh, a self-professed “gin bar and dining room”, replacing what used to be the The Spiders Web. That’s in the pipeline. What’s astonishing is that they apparently spent 730k. To make it look like this. 730k! It’s a sister bar to McSorleys. Three casks, all Caledonian: Up And Under, Edinburgh Castle and Deu...
