I have mixed feelings about peartree. The huge beer garden is great, spacious and has a good atmosphere. It's well kept and the impressive ivy up the wall of the pub is a nice sight while knocking the froth off an ale. Anyone who ever has the privilege/shock of basking in some edinburgh sun must sample it. You'll have until about 6pm to top up your burn before the sun slips behind the tall uni building.\nOn the flip side, it's expensive. An orange and soda will sting you over 3 quid and the guiness tastes like water. And on the 364 non-sunny days of the year you will be drinking inside, which is so so. Don't get me wrong, it's quite pleasant, but nothing special with no great draw. Often what i do is trick my body and mind into believing it's warm and sit outside shivering to get 'my money's worth'. Shivering is good.. Shivering is good..why has my head gone numb??? \nIt's also a decent place to watch football, with adequate tvs, and very popular (often too popular) for big matches. However not my first choice due to the price and layout.\nSo, for sun, outdoor jibber jabber, and nice surroundings this place is hard to top. For everything else, there is yelp!
