The current spate of construction outside of Shakespeare's is fairly off putting when you scan Lothian road for a place to drink. Thus for the time being, Shakespeare's has never really been on the radar for potential watering holes.\n\nThe interior in pretty standard, sporting a typically old pub style with oaky beams and brass fittings. Pints are cheap at \u00a32.30, apart from that it's all standard stuff.\n\nNot really worth meandering through the wire mesh fences and dusty building materials. A-Ok.
