## What it's known for

Tiny, colourful micropub in a former newsagent's opposite Haymarket bus station, opened in 2018 and named after the Johnny Cash song. Six cask and eight keg lines of local, national and international beers, with a rear terrace. Open Monday to Wednesday noon–10pm, Thursday to Saturday noon–10:30pm, Sunday 1pm–10pm.

Very small, so expect to stand at busy times.

Check opening hours with the venue before you go: they change, especially early in the week.
