text: I am definitely not a fan of Deacon Brodies It just tries to flaunt the Scottish culture to the tourists with tartan overpriced whisky and miniature statues of bagpipers on the bar Of course real Scottish pubs which are inhabited by locals do not usually have any of these things so I see Deacon Brodies as a bit of a phony in this sense nOf course it makes sense that they should target the tourists especially in summer Nonetheless the drinks are pretty extortionate with most pints costing more than ua and single spirit measures going for around the same nThis place does good business and it is atmosphere isquite lively but it is still a sellout
