Overview

Came on NYE and stayed into the wee hours. Side entrance and accessible toilet are good and staff are great!

Transport & Parking

0

Grassmarket can be a bother to get to on foot/wheels due to narrow pavements from city centre. Lothian Bus 2 stops on the street. There is limited parking and a big paid car park about 10/15 min walk away (Castle Terrace)

Access

3.5

Level access through a side entrance. Staff are always on hand if you need help getting in this way. Lighting is dim and there are multiple TV screens around the pub that flash / play different things. There is a quiet space at the bar that servers suggest people in wheelchairs use so there is more space and they can be seen easily. There are a mixture of booths, tables, stools etc to sit on. Signage is good.

Toilets

2

RADAR key required. The lock is a bit jerky (reported to staff on Dec 31st). Limited space - one wheelchair and an assistant would maybe struggle. Handrails on both sides and red cord on right hand side - although this does not reach the ground. Space under sink to roll under. The toilet opens onto the main floor so no corridors or tight spaces to move around.

Staff

5

The security and bar staff were all lovely and made sure I was comfortable throughout the night.
