Having successfully navigated the #Edinburgh shopping crowds, we've stumbled upon the #OxfordBar tucked away on a back street. Pint of Stuart's stout and a coal fire, but no sign of Rebus or Rankin.

Good afternoon, Oxford Bar ( no Scottish detectives were harmed in the drinking of these pints; yes, this is where the fictional Inspector Rebus, and indeed his creator, Ian Rankin, enjoy a pint)

Very pleasant evening in the Oxford bar (of course, where Inspector Rebus often drinks), chatting with Ian Rankin & three of the folk who kindly backed our bookshop fundraiser (many thanks to Ian for that!).

Several pints, good craic & a table by the fire on a cold night, what more do you need?

Trip to Fopp was followed by a couple of pints, and a natter with chum in a very fine #Edinburgh watering hole (important to stay hydrated on a warm, sunny day, after all)

Yes, this is where fictional detective Rebus and his writer Ian Rankin often enjoy a pint. Ian actually picks up fan mail sent to him care of the pub!

Taken this day, 2020, Rebus will not be drinking here today... https://www.flickr.com/photos/woolamaloo_gazette/49770281912/

From a Lockdown walk, paused outside the excellent Oxford Bar, sadly closed up at the time like all the other pubs.

Rebus Will Not Drink Here Today

Well, time for a rest and rehydration after my walk... I mean someone has to support the Ox while Ian Rankin is off globally galavanting!

Day off, taken long walk, dropped pile of books off to charity shop, then walked on only to find my feet had decided we were walking past the Oxford... Complete accident...

Today's Flickr photo with the most hits: the Oxford Bar, Edinburgh.

The bar is the drinking hole for both Ian Rankin and his fictional detective, John Rebus. Keeps decent malts!

Couple of quiet pints in the Oxford. Bestselling author Ian Rankin is shining his countenance upon us approvingly (this is the Edinburgh bar his character Inspector Rebus drinks in, as does the author himself)
