Definitely try the haggis stuffed chicken . This was my first experience trying the Scottish speciality. My waitress , Aston,was awesome!
Stunning bar . Everything just oozes extravagance. Great selection of real ales .
Great place to stop for a drink on way to or from Waverley Station, great selection of beers from across Scotland and the UK
Cracking quality bar with great choice of draught beer ! Good service ! An Edinburgh institution without the snobbery!
Covid's spoilt this excellent place No more standing at the bar . During busy periods and when amateur drinkers are out and about in the run up to Xmas its difficult to get a table without booking .
Great pub need to get in early for a seat as gets packed
Great beer selection , friendly staff , fantastically ornate gin palace style pub with a nice atmosphere.
Excellent selection of cask ales and kegs , in a gorgeous setting.
Great ambiance
Excellent Real Ales, both the permanent selection and their guest. The Hairy Helmet on today is well worth a try.
Beautiful pub interior and amazing atmosphere.
The place is beautiful and the list of beers is great
Amazing old school pub . Fantastic interior. Great beer selection , local and far away.

Fantastic ale pub at non ripoff prices. Lovely atmosphere.
Beautiful traditional Scottisch bar with 10 brands of cask ale .

Wonderful atmosphere and nice beer variations !
Check out the amazing ceiling.
Great beer but avoid the food- made me very unwell. Would still go back for a drink though...
DARK ISLAND . an absolute beauty and a must try
Convenient for a quick pint before catching a train at Waverley
Very nice lively place .
Real ales , great food, beautiful decor
Looks like they're resting on their laurels a little. Has got a bit dirty and doesn't have much of an atmosphere or many rare craft ales anymore.
Great selection of beer .
Excellent Real Ale selection
I like the Paolozzi beer ????
Great selection of beers !
Fish chowder is awesome!
I love this place but its freezing in here!
Yard of Ale during Fringe!
Nothing like Guildford but the staff do have arms, which proves useful for pulling pints, glass collection and so on. Not that amputees wouldn't also be welcome.
£2.90 for glass of prosseco - bargain!
For the best Scottish ale drink here and not next door
Try for the wee hidie hole behind the door
