Just got back from Drupal drinks, where we've discussed changing the venue.
Holyrood 9A do good burgers and beers, but it's always a bit too noisy to have a conversation and certainly to do any kind of tech presentations.
The suggestions we've come up with:
- White Horse, Royal Mile
- Counting House, Newington
- Old Bell, Newington
- Greenmantle, Newington
There's a bit of a southside bias there, because all of us there tonight live or work there! ;)
What I propose is that over the next few Drupal Drinks we sample these in turn and see what we think of them. I'll do some ringing round to see if they have wifi too.
The criteria for a good venue, at least for me, are: good food, not too noisy, good beer, and wifi; probably in that order! If you can think of places that fit the bill, please add your suggestions.

Meadow Bar
The meadow bar (aka Moo bar) on Buccleuch Street might be a possibility too. Wifi, good food (till 9.15), only Caledonian ales though and entirely coincidentally the closest pub to my office. If it's free the upstairs can be booked.
We never thought of that one!

Let's pick the quietest. We can visit them all.
Perhaps not in one evening though.

I happened to pass the Villager on George IV bridge last Friday at about 5.30 and noticed it seemed fairly sedate.
We could give that a try too.
