The Grassmarket Bar is definitely not by pub of choice to drink in that is for sure. I have only been here once, which I feel is more than enough, several months ago, and was completely and utterly put off by all the drunk locals who were hanging around both inside and outside the bar. \n\nThis bar is situated in the Grassmarket area of Edinburgh and so it is just a short walk from the city centre and should be an ideal place for people to go for a quite drink or for pre-drinks before a night out, but unfortunately its not. \n\nThe staff are friendly enough, but they don't seem to be able to control the loud and drunk locals. The bar has an extensive range of different beers, ales and wines, which are well priced and there is a student discount available. There is a huge windscreen TV which shows sporting events, and it was showing all the World Cup football matches. \n\nThere is a lively atmosphere inside, but the locals brought it down a fair bit. If it weren't for the drunk and sleazy men drinking at this place, I would love this pub as the drinks and atmosphere are great, but I felt put out by them and probably won't be going back.
