If the sun is out you can make use of the beer garden at the rear
of the pub, or watch the world go by from the pavement tables out on
Grassmarket. Internally the decor is wood panels and screens. Rafters
restaurant, upstairs, is home to the door from the condemned cell that one
formed part of Edinburgh's old Tolbooth. The restaurant also supplies the bar
food downstairs.
