First class is lovely!
That's the North Sea.
Those white dots are sheep.
and found that our room wasn't ready yet. We checked in our bags and immediately went searching for a pub. We came across the Bow Bar - a recommendation from our friends at York Brewery. It's one of the best bars (whisky and beer) in Edinburgh.
And our new friend was right! The Bow Bar has an awesome selection of taps, as well as a lengthy list of bottled beers. And their whiskys? Just ask any of their bartenders, and they'll give you a lesson and offer great suggestions on what you might like.
We left the bar to go find something to eat before we really got to drinking...keep in mind, we'd only been in town for an hour or so... We had a good lunch and then returned to the Bow for a few more drinks. At four pm, we made our way back to our hotel to check in, unpack a bit, get our bearings and make some decisions on what to do next. Of course, it involved food and beer.
We set out to find BrewDogs. We're big fans of the show on Esquire network, and of their beer. So naturally we had to find the pub...just so we could rub it in to our friends back in the state who also love the show. (We're talking to you Bryan and Jon.) We had a couple of beers and then decided to find some dinner. The Three Sisters seemed to fit the bill.
The best thing about The Three Sisters - aside from the beer selection and the food - was the guy in the back playing guitar. He opened with Folsom Prison Blues...with a Scottish accent. That pretty much set the tone for the evening.
Tomorrow we head to the castle, and we're on the hunt for more whisky and beer! I adore Scotland!
Oh! And Muffin, this is for you...seen on the eave of a shop in York:
