The Pedestrians visit Edinburgh, a Strange Sea Creature, and Rise Again, All in One Evening.
The Edinburgh Arms is quite friendly and cosy in an expansive sort of way, though it doesn’t really do half-pints. We explained that we’d been to 18 pubs already, and were due to visit 18 more. Out the back and 20 yards to the Sea Horse, a Sam Smith’s pub with the usual restricted choice, though the layout is nice, with separate rooms and well laid out and comfortable seating. But the star of the evening was the recently re-opened Phoenix. Three decent beers, a friendly welcome, an open fire, and a decor which invited you to just sink in and enjoy (though no cushions or soft furnishings in sight). And that was just the front bar. They also do a wine list and a small selection of single malt whiskeys. Vaut le detour.
