How many times have you typed up The Foot of the Walk and then deleted it through fear of repercussion? 1 minute ago, sjc said: Yeh it's a wee bit hipster but the food is nice. Used to head there for a bar lunch before a couple of pints at Diggers en route to Tynecastle on a matchday....a very enjoyable matchday routine I think you'd agree, Bobby? Their Beef shin pie is lovely tbf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I flirted with the idea a couple of times but didn't follow through, its not even in my top 5 pubs in Leith, its just sometimes convenient. I had food today in Teuchters landing in Leith which is a favourite of mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's opposite the Cameo down a wee courtyard, a bit of a hidden gem but a lovely pub. Particularly good during extremes of weather as it has a beer garden and an open fire place! I like the Cameo down there for watching football in and also like Malt & Hops which is Grimbos favourite pub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many a Sunday afternoon spent in there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Dundee - Phoenix for me although slightly over priced. Possibly Mennies (speedies FFS) Glasgow - Pot Still or Lismore Edinburgh - what's the one behind the apple store? I tend to visit different pubs every time I'm in Edinburgh so f**k knows. Elsewhere - Fiddlers in Drumnadrochit is outstanding for whisky. Old Inn Carbost Skye amazing views and seafood at normal prices and good mix of locals/tourists. Clachaig in Glencoe is a fantastic walkers bar. Altandhu west of Achiltibuie has amazing views of summer isles and again lots of locals drink there. Just about every bar I visited on west coast of Ireland shits all over the Jake huts in similar sized towns in Scotland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjc Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Have to say in general England do the Country pub for food and drink far better than Scotland. Our pubs tend to be more about drink.....who'd have thought it eh?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just like the fact it is kind of out of the way so you generally don't get a load of wee dicks in. Plus it is one of the few places in town you can have a conversation without shouting on a Saturday night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dundeefc1783 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Dundee-Mennies/TradesGlasgow-Lismore/Three Judges Trades is over rated imo. Has a good selection of beers but there are better boozers in Dundee. It's also shite for watching live sports as their tv's aren't greatest and on a sunny day can see f**k all with the sun beaming in the windows anyway.
