1780: 167 Rose Street, Edinburgh


What a nice bar. I’ve often walked past this bar but never gone in. Well it’s worth a visit if you like proper beer and proper music. There is a good selection of bottled ale and they do Murphy’s on tap – which you don’t see much of these days, even in Irish bars. You can enjoy your beer as you relax on the sofa by the door to the sounds of musical geniuses such as Bob Dylan and Eric Clapton. Also if conversation dries up there are plenty of pictures on the wall to look at.
The food seems pretty good, all I ordered was a bowl of chips but I haven’t enjoyed a plate of chips so much in a long time. A punter nearby was tucking into muscles which also looked good. Even the bar staff are friendly and helpful, unual in many city centre bars. 

Like I said plenty of pictures!
