The Royal Mile is littered with ‘tourist’ bars but Tass is one of the better ones. This bar offers folk music, a decent pint and even the opportunity of a free drink. Indeed, the barmaid had poured someone the wrong type of rum so offered it to my mate for free! We were drinking the house ale called Tass 80/- (shillings), a good pint which I would recommend to fans of Belhaven Best! On the wall among other things is a large copy of the Declaration of Arbroath (which American tourists might like to note was apparently the model for their own Declaration of Independence).
I very much enjoyed my visit to this bar, my only complaints were that it shut before 1am on a Saturday night and the hand drier in the Gents was worse than useless. These are minor issues however, which certainly wouldn’t prevent me visiting again.
