No. 1 The Grange

Located where you might expect, in an area of Edinburgh which has become a mini-hub of sorts for well equipped, reasonably priced gastro pubs, No 1 The Grange in Edinburgh’s Southside doesn’t feel out of place in this regard.

The interior is pleasant and cosy, with a simple, rustic sort of feel owing to its bare stone walls and dark hardwood furniture.  As far as food, it offers your standard pub fare for those who seek it. However, among these mainstays, there's a smattering of impressively prepared courses which wouldn’t look out of place in a high end George Street joint; mercifully, however, without the associated price tag.

If you’re into your craft beer, you’ll not be disappointed, with a hefty selection of well-known small batch breweries on offer as well as some more off-the-wall options you may not have heard off. The wine list is healthy, as is the spirit selection and a small but imaginative cocktail list is also offered. Whatever your poison, you’ll find something to suit you here.

Regular live music and pub quizzes offer some entertainment but even without this, the atmosphere is nice and the staff are pleasant and knowledgeable. In short, The Grange is a nice, unpretentious and well-equipped pub, and an excellent place to spend your time.
