    The Cumberland Bar

    Edinburgh

    This a nice, spacious accessible bar, but only if you can manage the first hurdle!

    This is a nice bar in the New Town with a good mix of people, from local residents to students. The whole time I was there, I was thinking yes, this is really great and accessible then as I left I remembered the 150mm step at the front. The beer is always a good mixture of ales, IPA's and lager. The Drygate was particularly tasty. The beer garden is nice but only when it's really sunny and the steps down is pretty accessible.

    I think the pub is pretty accessible, it's big and has plenty of space. The front step is unfortunate but I have asked if they have a ramp! Unfortunately the beer garden is pretty inaccessible, I find it difficult to walk down with a drink and its a bit of a trek. Also it's really shaded and can only be used on sunny days.

    Additional Information

    If you don't mind the first step then it's ok! The food is OK too. I like to come here for a half and read a book!
