Great pub, no frills............
You are not spoilt for pubs along Broughton Street, but of them all, this is perhaps the most pleasing. Apart from the TVs, this put could easily be something from the early 1900s with decor consisting of old images of Edinburgh and a series of barrels providing unofficial counters upon which to place your pint.
Overseen by Mitch, this is a real favourite of those who prefer the traditional 'boozer' rather than the trendy bars on George Street. While the rest of Edinburgh appears to have hit the 21st century with gusto, the Cask and Barrel is a genuine piece of 'Auld Edinburgh' where the most important thing in the pub was the pint you get rather than whether it is hip or not.
Would easily recommend this as the top pub in Edinburgh. Try it and you will not disappointed.
