http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/ Welcome to Been there. Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/34279 The other three Irish pubs are all located a wee bit out from the centre.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/34279 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/34272 This is part of the Belhaven chain and has a very good value drinks menu. Additionally the food menu is very reasonably priced and very tasty - a step above a lot of pubs.
In the less busy times of the week, there are great deals to be had on food and drink.
They even have a 'Man V Food' challenge on Tuesdays!
The pub is situated on the popular Shore area of Edinburgh (Leith) and feels like a pub that should be in a port with all the nautical memorabilia on the walls.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/34272 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/34270 At the back of the pub is a large outdoor beer garden with seating which is ideal for smokers as well as those who like their drink outside. Areas of the beer garden are under cover and are heated so ideal for the winter months.
From media reports it was sold for over €14m in the property bubble of the mid 2000s! Great pub as it is, when you see the bar you will wonder how anyone could spend so much on it!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/34270 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/33994 On the menu are British favourites such as great roasts for Sunday lunch, and there are more adventurous offerings; such as fillet of Gilt Head Bream with fennel and lime dressing. There are plenty of veggie options too.
The Tiger is a great place to chill out with a cool drink, wake up with a coffee, or cheer on the team with mates.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/33994 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/33843 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/33843 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/33841 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/33841 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/33663 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/33663 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/33644 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/33644 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/33531 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/33531 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/33415 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/33415 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/33293 When you leave, be sure to call at the street counter of Et Kabüffke, opposite, for a warming shot of Killepitsch, the digestive licquor.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/33293 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/32902 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/32902 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/32863 Located in the historic John Street Roundhouse, just south of the CN Tower, the building was built in 1929 and functioned as a Canadian Pacific Rail steam locomotive repair facility.

Well priced too!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/32834 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/32749 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/32749 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/32497 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/32497 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/32112 A beautiful Victorian gem, after you've had a blustery weekend walk from Highgate over Hampstead Heath, this is definitely the place you want to go to. The food is top notch, you can get a venison burger there if you so wish, and with a range of ales on tap and a warm dark wood interior that has plenty of little corners in to sit this is the place to go to warm up and relax.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/32112 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/32024 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/32024 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/32016 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/32016 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/31906 The fish is fresh and comes from sustainable sources & British seas. The supplier is F.C Sopers fishmongers in Nunhead (www.fcsoper.com), a local institution since 1898.
The meat is free-range and organic. The chicken, pork & lamb comes from a small farm, Gillwing, in Sussex (www.gillwing.co.uk/farm) and is delivered by Andrew, the farmer, who makes the sausages all by hand.
The opening times seem to vary, the staff are exceptionally friendly and continued to pour the beverages long after midnight on a Thursday, as everyone was still having a good time and reluctant to leave!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/31906
