It's good to find a proper pub on the Cowgate, especially one that's also a fine venue for gigs. The beer's a little pricey perhaps (�2.95 for Caley 80/) but given the location I can just about put up with it.

Nice to find a rtock pub. I'm not really a rocker myself but always like rockers, cos they are unpretentious.

Had a great night in there seeing The Valiums.

Can't remember much, but had a great time!

whatever facets you use to judge a pub they all become irrelvant when the place STINKS. I cant quite identify it but the closest i can come close to is wet dog.

Went to a local band night there - very good small gig venue in the back cellar-like room. The front bar is deceptively large with lively clientele. serves real ale.

Really cool place, probably the best on Cowgate.
I used to study in Edinburgh as an exchange student. A great spot on tuesday to meet other internationals. Good deals on beer too (with a nice selection of ales).
