Name: Smithies Ale House
Location: 49-51, Eyre Place, Edinburgh, EH3 5EY
First impressions:
This has good kerb appeal - very clean and tidy on the outside with lovely stained glass windows, this looks like a real "working mans pub"
What's it like inside:
Unspoiled Victorian interior with lovely mirrored panels with painted animal images in the middle. Just as clean and tidy on the inside as the outside, plenty of seats and TV screens showing the football.
Service:
Service was excellent - very friendly and polite.Range of Drinks Available:
Reasonable selection of draft ales, lagers and a decent choice of wines.
Prices:
Very reasonably priced - a glass of house wine is about £3 for a large glass (depends on wine selected) and a pint of Stella was under £3.Is Food available?
Soup and a roll was on offer at a very reasonable price of £1.50 and a small selection of snacks including crisps.Overall:
This was a pleasant experience, all the clientele were dressed in collars despite it being a football day and there was an even spread of men and women present. This would be a lovely pub for a quiet drink after work or a lazy Sunday afternoon.
