The Guildford Arms

This has been a pub since 1898 but a very grand pub that might even justify the word opulent with its ornate ceiling, decorative touches, gallery and attractive bar. The cask ales come from all over the British Isles so you're as likely to find something local to Edinburgh as you are a well-travelled guest ale from Devon. Good menu, wonderful signature sausages and very handy indeed for Waverley Station.
