Drinks

The pub is a real gem. I dropped in with a small group of friends after a walk in the Pentlands one winter afternoon. The small and cosy public bar has a warm coal fire at one end with a couple of tiny inglenook seats, a collection of other comfy tables and chairs and a long bar. We were welcomed by a cheerful landlord who proudly told us about a variety of real cask conditioned ales from local craft breweries, along with a selection of more conventional drinks and a fine selection of whiskies and gins. Undecided which to try, he then offered us a taster ‘on the house’ to help us make our minds up before selling us several fine, well-looked after pints of super local ale.

My favourite local. And if your cycling to the Pentlands it’s on the way! Which I do a lot.

Seriously the best real ale pub in Edinburgh and a fantastic restaurant along side! Couldn’t recommend a place more highly! The best!

Great pub, very friendly and handy for walks in Pentlands.

Went for a walk round Thriepmuir Reservoir then stopped in for a pint or two of real ale and some vino. Was made to feel very welcome and a Rio our dog made herself at home with the resident pub dog Sukki. Lovely way to spend lunchtime.

Really great pub, great staff especially a guy called Ian and the manager. The best ale pub in the area

This is the place to have a beer after a bicycle ride!

An excellent pub. Go there, you’ll be made very welcome.
