text: I have found myself having a swift couple in here on a number of occasions despite it not really being near any other nightlife and the fact I have never lived anywhere nearby I am not sure the reason behind it is seemingly magnetic appeal it is just a regular locals pub Reasonable prices busy for sports with the usual pub grub and middle aged decornnIt almost but not quite loses a star due to the regular presence of rugby fans This shower are the main reason I have never chose to permanently locate in Edinburgh and their presence in The Haymarket is the reason why on certain days I would choose not to locate in this pub
