text: I used to go to this bar a lot back in my uni days but recently when Sara P and I were walking to her house and I was about to pass out because I was so hungry we decided to pop in here for dinner Since then we went back again this time with Joe A and just for a few drinksnnIt has had a much needed refurb since I used to visit and looks a lot better Pretty chilled out environment There are two sides to the place literally if you turn right when you go through the door then there is more of a restaurant feel to it if you turn left then there is often sport of the TV and a couple of regulars propped up at the barnnStaff are pretty friendly and attentive The first time we went we were served by a very helpful lady who went out of her way to serve us The second time the men behind the bar seemed pretty decentnnGranted it was a weekday both times we visited but it was pretty dead It used to be full to the brim with students and every day is a weekend for them so I do not know if they are trying to move away from being a student pub a bit nownnThe menu is quite attractive and when I ate there I had a steak pie and it was pretty tastynnI think this place is what it is They are always showing sport the drinks are pretty cheap and they serve pub food One thing though in the summer it is usually mobbed as they face out onto the Bruntsfield Links and have lots of tables outside so it is great to sit in the sun if we ever see it again
