Unassumingly located on a side street near Edinburgh University, Brass Monkey looks from the outside like your average pub. It's anything but.

The Brass Monkey’s small front room is an atmospheric area that oozes turn of the last century charm, with wooden fittings and a long, crowded bar. But it is in the back that the magic happens: forget vertical drinking and think horizontal. A room full of beds on which you and your entourage can lounge whilst sipping inexpensive drinks comes with the added bonus of occasional film screenings. All this of course makes it appeal to the young, arty and creative crowd, but it's very much the kind of place where all stretch out and feel at home.
