Sadly the new owners, or those running it don’t like groups of people, we had maybe 10-15 wanting to see if they were welcoming again. They had two people behind the bar and 5 other customers. Hopefully things change over time.
Was in last night, I live in Glasgow so have not been since before the sale (which I was not aware of). It was immediately apparent to me that something had changed, atmosphere slightly "off", beer not as well kept (Titanic Plum Porter was nowhere as amazing as other times I've had it), tables really sticky and dirty. It's off my Edinburgh must-go list now.
Alarmed to see that Cloister is for sale - that's also a great favourite of mine.

That's a shame to hear
