Say What Again Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Few old pub photos here. I was in the Canons Gait (Blue Blanket) recently. It's had a pretty big makeover. It looks good. They were also doing an opening layalty card for the first few weeks that got about 33% off the price of a pint, which is most welcome for prices these days in the Royal Mile. https://www.edinburghlive.co.uk/news/history/gallery/21-incredible-edinburgh-photos-show-24640440 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also bought Ryries Yep. The Old Town Pub Co. has it now. They’ve quite a number in the area now. The Royal Mile, The Globe, George IV Bridge Bar, Stramash and Fiddlers Arms among them. They also own the one that’s yet to open just down from the aparthotel on the Canongate, in the pedestrian area beside the new HMRC building. It feels like it’s been getting worked on for about four years now. Obviously there was the covid impact and 3,000 folk that never moved in to the tax building as major blows, but the frequently seem to start up work again, yet it never opens. Someone told me they have a tapestry on the wall behind the bar that cost £14,000. No idea if it’s true, but I dread to think how much a pint will be in there 😂 Edited August 2, 2022 by Say What Again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locky Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Not a pub, but sad to see Franco's chippy burn down. Don't know how long it had been there, but I used to go all the time when I was a laddie. Always been pretty affordable and still looked the same as it did when I used to go in years ago. Got me thinking that there's really not any chippies around there now. One away down Mayfield Road, Salvatores over Marchmont way and Bodrum on Dalkeith Road probably the closest. Bene's on the Canongate too but they've been reportedly closing for months. Deep Sea and Clamshell on the way in to town too but they're not traditional chippies. Plenty kebab shops and Chinese but nae chippy's if you're having a bevvy.

The White Cockade Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Not a pub but always used to pop in to the Casino Martell next to the Wine Glass on the way home from a night out because bar was open till 4 and you got free tea and sandwiches! Don’t think I ever actually played the tables there Must have been back in the 80’s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArcticJambo Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 (edited) I'd sometimes catch the Belmonte at Piershill if I went home via the High Street or Holyrood Road, and through the Park but as I say that was rare as normally I'd be stumbling home late. Or Giovanni's on Northfield Broadway. I;m sure there was one on Montrose Terrace but can't say I ever remember using it, probably The Montrose!

I can't recall the name of it but there was certainly a chippy on Montrose Terrace. The daughter of the owner was in my year at school. I don't recall ever using it either as Bene's on the Canongate was so good in those days. Unbeatable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
