The Canny Man

After having tea with KryptoMart popped off for a wander in Morningside, where I blipped the Canny Man pub in Morningside Road.

With a colourful history and formidable reputation, the Canny Man remains a truly unique institution - how many pubs do you know that sell Salmanazars (nine-litre bottles) of champagne? Service from impeccably dressed staff is frequently charming but stories of the management refusing to serve people whose face doesn't fit are rife.

For some people this is part of its charm; others brave the frosty reception for the vast selection of whiskies, impressive wine list and one of the best Bloody Marys in town. The unusual decor sees every nook and cranny filled with everything from moose heads to muskets, sheet music to stuffed animals. Undoubtedly divisive, but genuinely one of a kind.

Yes, it is great to still have characterful pubs even in these days.

Hope everyone has had a good day.
