Friday took me back to the West End Hotel to see the unique Andy Chung singing some Scottish folk music. I always enjoy a trip to the West End hotel, particularly because you get one of the finest pints of Best poured in Edinburgh. There are also some other fine beers in bottles behind the bar, a Trade Winds was only £2 – surely a bargain in this economic climate!
If you are going to see the Chung (he plays there around once a month), go early and get a seat at a table near the band. The bar area is quite small and narrow so if you are standing people are constantly trying to get past which can get a bit irritating.
Live music isn’t the only reason to visit the West End hotel though. As I mentioned the Best is unrivalled and it can be a nice location for a quiet pint on a Sunday afternoon where you can catch up on the football results on their plasma telly. The bar staff are friendly and helpful, which is an unexpected bonus in Edinburgh! One of the bar staff even helped me carry some drinks over to my table. Oh and the bar area is called ‘Time’ bar. There are quite a few clocks towards the back area of the bar so no worries if you forget your watch!
