Standard traditional pub.  Good location, just below the castle.  Inside it has ye olde design, timber moulded cladding, large bar and basic toilets down stairs.  We went one Saturday night around 11.30pm and it was dead!  Maybe eight other folk there, so there was little atmosphere.  There's a lovely little seating niche in the corner by the front entrance, it feels like you have your own mini private drinking room!  Nab that area if you can.  Not a lot to say about this pub, other than I liked the cheeky back exit on to Victoria Street!  Great little short cut down into the Grassmarket.
