Music will never disappoint, wish there was more room to watch but the small pub feel adds to the experience.

Good friendly place, service excellent. We needed some help with unfamiliar beers and got generous and knowledgeable assistance from the bar person: enjoyed our pints of Harviestoun.

I was traveling solo and saw online that this pub was supposed to have good local music. I am SO glad I went! The place is small and it was packed with locals. I sat down at the bar, drank a few pints, and chatted and made some new Scottish friends for a few hours while listening to the traditional music. It was such a nice, genuine experience to just sit, drink, and have some friendly conversations with strangers on a Tuesday night. Based on what I heard inside the pub too, it seems like it is mostly frequented by locals. Beer was cheap and bartenders were lovely. Highly recommend!

I came to this place, because I wanted to do a whisky tasting and I heard they had good whisky. I asked the lady behind the bar if she could help me and I got a personalized whisky tasting. SO to her! Was an amazing experience and the live folklore music definitely added to that.

I came here for one drink… and stayed the entire night! So much fun! So interesting! The staff was super helpful and funny, they had great drink recommendations, and were overall enjoyable to be around. Oh, and of course the music was amazinggggg. 10/10 would come again.

Walked in here after a walking tour cause we were cold and wanted a drink and to warm up and ended up staying over 4 hours. Great vibe, the barman is amazing, fun, and knowledgeable on Whiskys and the area, and there was live music from around 6 pm. Excellent little pub!

A must when your in Edinburgh. Classic old school vibe complete with little fire and usually a dog lying next to it. Good whisky selection, yummy scotch eggs to nibble, and usually nightly trad session. A great stop off after exploring Greyfriars cemetery

Me and my friend had a fantastic time at this pub, where the style represents the city of Edinburgh! This includes the frames, arch and the counter's layout, where we were served by lovely staff. They were a bit delayed due to a heavy crowd but understandable and I enjoyed the Edinburgh Gin, situated comfortably at a clean table!
