Being situated within a minutes walk of Edinburgh Uni halls of residence, The Crags is of course marketed entirely for students.  The food and drink is cheap, they show major sporting events on the large screens in each of its two rooms and they offer 'yellow cards' which get you discounts on drinks.  In my first year they used to have 'Quids Night' where most drinks only cost one pound and it was the ideal place to begin a cheap(ish) night on the town.  The new alcohol laws have of course banished this possibility but the drinks still remain reasonably priced.  Further, the food is excellent and they serve a burger of your choice with a pint for just \u00a33.50 which is easily a meal in itself.\nThe pool tables are in good condition, there is plenty of comfortable seating and the bar staff are efficient at dealing with the queues when it's busy.  The Crags is the ideal place to either unwind on lazy afternoons, enjoy the match or begin your big night out.
