text: I will start by saying this place is overpriced It is charging too much for what it offers I have been going her on and off for years as it is right next to Edinburgh University in studentville and always seemed like a great place to meetnnUnfortunately it is one of those places that likes to think it is swanky but has no real character When I am talking quite disparagingly about the latest great pub to get the dreaded relaunch and friends do not know what I mean I say The North Makeover To me it seems like every great little hole in the wall or pub in the community with character eventually succumbs to the corporate design disease and they lose all that was interesting about themnnSo I think North knows what it is doing and it is not subtle about itnn Hire only attractive student girls from Surrey it appears to wait tablesn Market the Swanky City Cocktail bar vibe in a predominately student area without charging student pricesn Cheap food at marked up pricesnnAccess is pretty good for wheelchairs as you can access all areas of the main barsocialising area but they do not have accessible toilets so they are not compliant with the lawWheelchair users who want to use North will have to stay for one or two but move elsewhere when a toilet break callsnnI will probably begrudgingly go back there and buy their overpriced foodcocktails as long as my friends keep suggesting it I suppose it is the only place like that in the area The drinks list is vast and cocktails are pretty good Food not so much
