Deacon Brodie's Tavern

Inside it is a traditional Edinburgh pub, all dark wood and brass: a long bar under an ornate painted ceiling, copper jugs lined along the gantry, red leather booths below murals of the old town, and a mirrored wooden booth beneath a wall clock. Plaques and painted panels round the walls tell the story of the respectable man with the secret life, and the book it helped inspire. Come for a pint on the way down the Mile, and read the walls while you drink it.
