No complaints here, other than the pub was freezing. I had to sit with my day-glo cycling jacket on for three whole hours as my teeth chittered away between a wine glass. The door was left wide open for nippit Edinburgh air to cut through an otherwise cosy and traditional place. \n\nThe seat I was on wasn't too comfortable either, but that probably wasn't helped by me sitting rigid with the cold. \n\nIf it hadn't of been so bloomin' freezing I probably would have really liked this pub. It should have a great vibe to it...\n\nI kind of want it to be one of these old pubs with a Scottish wolfhound flopped down at the hearth of a cracking, cosy fire with his doggy nose on a sailor's booted foot. But it wasn't, because it was baltic. \n\nI wanted to imagine Robert Louis Stevenson penning Kidnapped in this pub, supping ale at a rickety table in the corner and looking out over the river for inspiration. But I couldn't, because I thought my fingers were going to freeze off. \n\nFood looked great. Must come back here to try grub. Remember to bring duvet to wrap self in.
