Traditional food, good and quite fast service. The cullen skink was surprisingly good, the haggis was also really nice as well as the fishcakes and the ribeye steak. The cranachan dessert was weird and not sure if it was done properly because it was the first time I had it, it was just a full glass of cream topped with very sour sauce. The service was decent but a man wanted to turn us down at the entrance saying they don’t have any table. Lucky we insisted because they actually did. No booking required also but it seems like all the other Nickolsons pubs want a booking and we were sent away by 2 of them before we found the last drop.

Exceptional Scottish stovies, a must try
Drinks are priced a bit high

Everything was absolutely delicious except the dessert, we didn't eat more than a couple spoonfuls. But since everything else was great, we assumed it's more a personal thing more than a badly made dessert (even tho it was truly bad, somehow it was too acid and flavourless at the same time)

This place was awesome! The good was delicious. Loved the nappies and haggis. Also, the pie was so good. I loved it here. The historical significance of the location also makes it special. Worth a visit!

Classic Scottish pub, amazing environment around the whole pub, typical band Scottish music 10/10, the restrooms where not clean at all but its a pub at the end lol.
Great time with my friends. If your are near by take a seat and drink a beer.

We loved the starters; highly recommended. Everything was very good. We had Scottish beers too, and they were also very good. We also ordered hamburgers, but they were just okay, nothing special for us. The place had a nice history and nice decoration. :)

Food was decent for a tourist spot- definitely recommend the whiskey sauce if you get anything with haggis. The chicken dish was pretty good and had some classic Scottish haggis and was prepared well. Atmosphere was amazing though - not sure if it's regular or a one time thing but there were a bunch of guys playing music (guitar, violin, flute) that just gave it a great pub feel. Tables were serve yourself and it wasn't a problem. Had the brisket fries with cheese as pub starters and they were actually really good too!

Popped in here for a solo dinner on a Friday night before other plans. The place was busy and lively, and I wasn't sure I'd get a seat, but after 10 minutes of waiting at the bar with a drink, I was ushered to a table.
Service was great, everyone friendly and quick. I enjoyed the smoked salmon and oatcakes, Balmoral chicken, and cranachan.
The Balmoral chicken was delicious and I absolutely recommend it.
The atmosphere in the pub is cheerful and lively, with nods to its slightly macabre name on the walls. I popped in for a late drink with friends later and enjoyed the same atmosphere.
Menu is varied with lots of choice. Drink menu also has plenty of choice, including a long list of categorised whiskies to peruse.
I heartily recommend a visit here.

The place was really packed with history which was amazing and not to forget it's Nicholson's bar so the cask ales were really good. It was obvious I went for Stewart Jack back and the maltiness was awesome. I had Mac and cheese and halloumi cheese fires, tho the quantity was super less to what I paid for. Other thing the garlic bread was sogged I can recommend the drink they have ranges from A to Z but the food was okiesh.

The food was marvelous! I ate every drop and so did all of my party. Our server took our orders without needing to write anything down and brought it to our table seemingly immediately. We met multiple other servers who made us feel right at home. The atmosphere was very cozy and warm, we were blessed with a little band of gentlemen performing live while we were there.
