Edinburgh Castle: Don't write off the traditional pub...

So I hade to write about Edinburgh Castle, I am Scottish. It is one of the prettiest scenes in the world staring at the bottom of the hill and seeing the Castle. No wait... I am meant to be blogging about Edinburgh Castle Hotel in Sydney CBD... Sorry, ignore the last part...

I should be blogging about this place... not the other castle

So I happily go to any pub to chat away to friends etc, but these places never make the blog... they are just a pub. But somehow I wanted to write about this place... Don't get me wrong, the Edinburgh is just an after work Sydney CBD pub, without the pretence of the Ivy etc. But here is where it sort of differentiates itself - being a big bar, it has a large range of taps. Many of them are the usual affair, but things like Squires, a few of the Little Creatures range, Coopers and Stone & Wood make it a good mix on tap. This makes this place appealing to a group of friends - the ones that want "a craft beer thank you" and the ones that say "I am a Carlton drinker thank you, none of that ale stuff for me". 

But heres the special part... Feature Beers - Stone & Wood was $6! That's nearly a third cheaper than elsewhere! (which is a really sad fact that craft beer is between $8 - $11). Get in... 

Stone & Wood for $6! Awesome!

Not just 4X, Carlton & Super Dry - Coopers, 150 and White Rabbit here..

Stone & Wood, Little Creatures & James Squires Hop Thief

I have been here a few times, and the first time I really judged this place but I was wrong. 

So here's the moral of the story, don't judge a book by its cover, places like this are showing movement in taps - the usuals and a few crafty's... 

Edinburgh Castle (http://edinburghcastlehotel.com.au) is a simple pub, serving decent priced food, and offers good value with its feature beer.  So if its a Tuesday night and a few work colleges say "lets go for a beer", heres a good option.

I didn't talk about the outdoor garden, thats because it is winter. Only smokers go to a CBD beer garden in winter...
