Selin U.February 28, 2017Love this pub. Try haggis, cullen skink, and pies, all delicious. Also try local Scottish crafts/ales, I recommend Fraoch - heather ale.

Cenk GümüşcüoğluSeptember 29, 2014A very central pub on The Royal Mile quite close to Edinburgh Castle. Should stop by for a grab of beer after a walk in the Old Town and the Royal Mile.Upvote4Downvote
Joe BrownMay 17, 2014Very good food, comically bad service upstairs in the dining room. Don't come here if you're in a hurry, but order the fish n chips or one of their savory pies.Upvote3Downvote- Gordon HNovember 12, 2012Head upstairs for a nice atmosphere and good food, friendly cheery and good service. Not particularly quick good food at reasonable price.Upvote1Downvote
DelicacheenaDecember 20, 2014Deacon Brodie was the inspiration for Stevenson's Dr. Jerkyll and Mr. Hyde. Enjoy haggis and myths about the dichotomic Scot.UpvoteDownvote

Kara SimsekSeptember 22, 2017Not as fancy as we hoped TBH. A standard Nicholson boozer. Ladies toilets were a bit gross. Good gin selection. Lavish ceiling (pictured)
