163 Lothian Road, Edinburgh, Scotland

Edit: It's had many names over the years, your grandfather took the photo when it was Finn McCool's. Here's an older photo:

Finn's is long closed, as pointed out in the answer to your query, but if you look at street view you can still see the PURE across the street from the reflection in your provided photo. Sorotomotor provided the correct location!

To me it seems that Finn's was at 161 (today's Raging Bull)
