The Chanter is a bar with rather a student focus, the drinks are cheap and there are plenty of screens to watch the football or other sporting event, yet despite a reasonable mix of beverages I found the place to lack character. It is an ideal starting off point but I wouldn't want to spend the entire evening here.\n\nIf you are out with a large group of 10-20 then this is a good spot, nice enough decor and cheap (for Edinburgh) drinks, just be aware there are likely to be a fair few 18-20 year old students...
