Ryan's Pub Reviews - The Westroom

THE WESTROOM, MELVILLE PLACE
Pint of Lager - £4.20
One of the fun things about doing a pub tour round Edinburgh is exploring places you've never been to and finding places you've never heard of. The Westroom was completely unknown to me but although expensive and fairly upmarket, was a pleasant experience.

Billing itself as a cafe-bar, the interior is t-shaped, with a very long bar and two person booths opposite. Further seating is found to the left and a staircase on the other side leads down to the toilets. As mentioned before, the place is pricey and has more of a 'couples' feel to it, the kind of place you'd want to go to impress your girlfriend on a first date. The lager was very sweet, not the usual acquired taste I'm used to but something different and still very enjoyable.

Feeling peckish, I sampled some of the nuts ( shoosh guys), although at nearly 3 quid and coming in a small dish, this was a far cry from the wee packet of KP's you'll find in your local boozer. Can't have too many complaints about this place overall, pop in for a drink if your passing but if your planning to staying a while, it's gonna cost you.
