The Pear Tree

Initially built as a glorious residential house and later the home of a world changing poet, headquarters of several brewing & distilling companies, and now one of the best loved & most charmingly traditional pubs in Edinburgh. We're probably best known for our large cobbled courtyard & beer garden.

If you like loud sports fans , this place is for you. If not, suffering might be worth it as the beer garden is pretty sweet, especially on a rare hot day.

Good selection of beverages. Nice outdoor seating . Live music in the summer months 😎

The beer garden is one of the best in Edinburgh, a perfect place to relax with a cold drink in the summer.

One of a dying breed in this city , a decent place that's not been demolished for tourism ! & they didn't care if you wore trainers !

James Ferguson

GREAT in the summer with plenty of outdoor seating . Often bands playing live music .

Jim Ross

They hold a Pub Quiz every Monday evening. It can be quite tough, but if you have a decent team it's also one of the better, more original ones.
