text: I am an Old Town girl ie if I can avoid having to be on or around Princes Street I do Sometimes though there is just nothing you can do and you have got to cross that imaginary border that exists on Waverley Bridge nnI found the Queens Arms because of the World Cup You see I had to be near Stockbridge because a friend of mine who I would bullied into watching the match with me and supporting Brazil had to go to work at So there we were Pretty hungry and on my part excited for the match nnThe Queens Arms has pretty decent though slightly overpriced pub food I had a bit of a pathetic onion tart with walnut pesto while my friend bit into a juicy looking burger with chips and chutney My tart was pathetic not in taste but in size I would expected something somewhat larger for pounds but hey sometimes you just got to be disappointed and deal with itnnWhat was not disappointing at all was the decor For some reason I am a fan of people sticking things on ceilings I went to a bar in Berlin whose name escapes me that had furniture on the ceiling and I was delighted This place has a myriad of empty wine bottles that have been somehow screwed onto the ceiling I asked few questions and gawked loads I also sat out of harms way Because nnAnother plus for this place is their selection of ale priced above pounds They had a couple of my favourites Ossian and Thrappledouser as well as wait for it Blue Moon which is one of the tastiest beers I ever had in the States and quite difficult to find on the isle nnThough my knowledge of New Town pubs is slim this is one worth getting to Good ale as far as I am concerned good pub
