Boston Bar Old Town

You're walking down one of those narrow Royal Mile closes and suddenly you're tucked into a traditional Irish boozer that doesn't feel like it's trying too hard. Boston Bar has that lived-in charm you want from a proper pub — the kind of place where locals actually drink, not just tourists ticking boxes. The Old Town location means it gets busy, especially weekends, but there's something genuine about how they've kept things straightforward: solid pints, honest food, and that warm atmosphere that comes from actually knowing your regulars.
