Obviously Ive done a City center night out many times. My brother is coming up with me this weekend for the Dundee game (he usually makes 2 or 3 or 4 matches a season) and we're planning a few drinks in the town center, anyone got any recommendations for pubs/bars? Maybe somewhere a little different, both like ale but doesn't have to be an alehouse. We'll be heading to the Bow Bar for sure (a favourite of ours) and plan on calling in on the Half way House (brother loves the quirkiness of it) but was he unaware of the Jinglin Geordie and its Hibs/George Best connections next door so thats also on the tick list. Anything else close by worth a look? We've done Rose Street many times. Eating wise theres a good chance it will be an Indian are we better moving back to Leith (where we will be staying) or staying in the City Centre? Again any recommendations gratefully receieved.
Cheers fellas

The jolly judge is worth a visit if you've not been there. Just tucked off the Royal Mile, 5 minutes from the bow bar. Its small and busy, but due to being of the main street its not as much of a tourist trap as others in the area. Mix of cask and keg stuff and usually decent beers such as from tempest.
If you head back to Leith the Steel Coulson tap has recently opened on Henderson Street. I've not been myself yet but it looks decent. It seems to have a tie in with a brewery from Bristol with around 8 keg and 8 cask lines, so you would probably be sorted for ales.

I always enjoy a pint in The Hebrides on Market Street. Old fashioned, no nonsense pub. Also the Royal Oak on Infirmary Street, maybe just beyond the 'real' city centre but another old school pub and likely to be a decent folk band on. Bonus is if you are set on a curry the superb Mother India is just next door.

Thomsons on Morrison Street is a decent real ale pub, plenty decent eateries within walking distance too.

I was in the Mitre for the first time in a couple of years on Friday. A decent pub with good selection of ales. The Abbotsford used to be my regular haunt for years when Colin had it.
