| The beer is no longer abysmal,in fact it is pretty damn good; but you don't just go to the Half Moon for the beer; you go for the atmosphere and the extremely accomodating service. There's Guinness and Greene King IPA and Abbot on tap, and a folk club on Sunday nights which is amazing and an open mic Thursday night with poetry readings and local music talent. Joe Ryan has sadly retired but has passed the baton on to Jamie Fisher who seems determined to carry on the legacy built up for great music, conversation and oh yes, a late licence every night! |

(Look out for nights when Frei Zinger's playing; his folk club set is orders of magnitude better than the over-engineered wannabe-ambient flutepop that draws the crowds on the [[Cornmarket]].) Joe Ryan's the proprietor, and carries out the role rather well. Unfortunately, the non-Ryan bar staff aren't worth giving the time of day to. But if you get Joe, and you get there on a Thursday night, it's the kind of place where you're instantly a regular. |
