About the Pub

Sandy Bell's is the premier place for free live folk music in Edinburgh every evening and on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Bring along an instrument and join in! An arch, the gantry, bar counter and wall panelling are in dark wood, in marked contrast to the atmosphere which is far from gloomy. The lunchtime pies are excellent and, in addition to five real ales, there is an impressive range of malt whiskies and gins. Nice 'Forrest Hlll Bar' ghost signs.

Children are not admitted.
