    First off, the pints are reasonably priced so there's an incentive to visit. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is hospitable. Not too COVID secure because people are going up to the bar and it can get quite crowded - no booking at table.

    Easy enough to get in, no steps on entrance and fairly easy to move around and the bar area is fairly open. The bar itself is quite high and you can't book at the table. They are currently operating a one-way system and the exit has steps so that wouldn't be accessible. Should be able to exit through entrance but not COVID-secure that way.

    Good

    Plenty of bus options going through Gorgie Road but fairly difficult to get parked in that area.

    Metal urinals and one small, cramped toilet. Couldn't see any accessible toilets.
