Named after Simon Rutherford, the owner, this tiny shop conversion was the first micropub in Scotland. It doesn’t take many drinkers to become crowded! Real ales are drawn right from the casks which are open to view on a gantry behind the bar. One-third pint taster paddles are available. There’s a selection of foreign bottled beers as well as specialist whiskies, gins and wines. New owners April 2021.

Opened in December 2017. Taken over by Winton Brewery in April 2020. Three of the brewery’s real ales are served along with sour beer range. Rotation of guest ales as well. Also available are gins and whiskies, with plans to improve the wines, rum and vodka options.

Has reopened (April 2021) as Steel Coulson Shore following the closure of Steel Coulson Tap on Henderson Street in Edinburgh. Three cask ale lines, four real ciders, c.200 cans/bottles and ten keg lines.
