The Cumberland Bar: 15/3 Cumberland Street Edinburgh

Set in the quiet streets of the New Town, this is a great old fashioned bar. It boasts lots of oak wood, alcoves, booths, and old advertising handing from the walls. The beer is fairly decent as well with lots of real ales on hand pull.  

I didn’t think much of the food, the battered haddock was a bit dry for my taste but the beer and atmosphere was enjoyable and the staff were helpful and friendly.

The Cumberland Bar is a great venue in summer as it has a beer garden that can rival the Pear Tree.
