The Conan Doyle pub sits at the end of York Place, opposite Picardy Place, near where Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was born. Hence the pubs name - clever, aren't they ;-) . The central location and welcoming facade mean that it is popular with tourists in the evening and shoppers during the day, many of whom are tempted by the decent food. Don't be put off, though, many locals go there also.
The rough theme of the pub is a Sherlock Holmes style reading room, with bookcases on the walls - real books, in case you get bored - and big comfy library chairs. Fortunately, this theme isn't taken too far, so you don't get too sick of it!
The beer is fine, if not massive in choice, and the range of soft drinks and spirits is perfectly acceptable, as are the prices.
The average clientele is definitely late twenties upwards, and the pub, though very lively, is never too rowdy. One thing to bear in mind, it does have massive TVprojector screens which are unfurled for football matches so, unless you are a footie fan, time your visit wisely!
