Nice pub. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17475#post-243685 Tue, 28 Feb 2017 12:57:50 +0000 nobrakes 243685@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Spent many an evening in there when it was the Maltings. Had a good friend Graham Spence who was part of the furniture there, died of cancer many years ago. Some of you may remember him - white hair, photo of him behind the bar for many years after he died. A top chap. Was a great pub in those days. Haven't been in it for about 15 years.... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17475#post-243674 Tue, 28 Feb 2017 10:18:40 +0000 PS 243674@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Used to be The Maltings, IIRC? Had occasion to attend the pub quiz there a number of times as a student. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17475#post-243673 Tue, 28 Feb 2017 10:10:22 +0000 I were right about that saddle 243673@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>It was my local when the Maltings. First pub to have boardgames built into tables, foreshadowing many hipster trends by fifteen years. </p> <p>Then run down and bought by acquaintances of mine who knew not about the generation of human warmth.</p> <p>God bless her and all who sail in her. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17475#post-243658 Mon, 27 Feb 2017 23:19:22 +0000 gembo 243658@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Is good boozer </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17475#post-243652 Mon, 27 Feb 2017 21:45:25 +0000 ARobComp 243652@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I used to attend regularly in my first year at University to drink of the Guinness and hang out with my older cousin who enjoyed spending time with the regulars in there. There used to be quite a few characters knocking about in there if I remember rightly. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17475#post-243649 Mon, 27 Feb 2017 20:59:47 +0000 gembo 243649@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>To the Monte</p> <p>By taking the agu out of the sign. Which I thought clever.</p> <p>On the Pleasance parallel to the queens hall. It is. A good pub to meet up in if attending gig at queen's hall </p>
