Edinburgh pubs: 'I did pub crawl of every Wetherspoons bar in Edinburgh - but got too drunk to finish it'
and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
A beer lover attempted to visit every Wetherspoon pub in Edinburgh in just one day -– but his epic quest fell short after he got lost.
Reddit user Top_Juice7860 had planned to visit seven of the Capital's 'Spoons' to find out which one was the best, but he only managed to visit six of the chain's pubs after getting lost.

It was a credible effort, to be sure, but fellow drinkers were quick to point out that he'd missed one out – The Foot of the Walk on Constitution Street.
Explaining why he never made it to the Leith boozer, he responded: "I was already 7 pints down and tried walking to Foot Of The Walk after Playfair and got completely lost. Next time I will go to the Foot Of The Walk and also that one in Musselburgh."
As for his favourite Edinburgh ‘Spoons’, he said it was a toss up between The White Lady or The Alexander Graham Bell.
Strictly speaking, Edinburgh has eight Wetherspoon pubs if you include The Sir Walter Scott at Edinburgh Airport, but you'd need to book a flight just to include that on your ultimate pub crawl list as it is located airside past security.
