Stockbridge Tap
This cosy bar has more of a lounge atmosphere (sofas at the back) than a traditional Edin-
burgh pub, but the counter reveals that it is dedicated to real ale - there are seven hand-
pulled pints on offer, with three house and four guest beers. There's a good range of
boutique gins too.

Antiquary
PUB
A dark, downstairs den of traditional beersmanship, with bare wooden floorboards and dark
wood tables and chairs, the long-established Antiquary has lively open folk-music sessions
on Thursday nights at 9pm, when all comers are welcome to perform.

Bailie Bar
PUB
Tucked down in a basement, the Bailie is an old Stockbridge stalwart; a dimly lit, warm
and welcoming nook with a large circular island bar, a roaring fire in winter and TVs
screening live football. Serves good coffee as well as real ales and malt whiskies.
