Really enjoyed this spot! Found it on a Google map search while we were in the area. The BLT and Calamari sandwiches were delicious. Would highly recommend this place for a quick and cheap but tasty dinner! Visited from Canada by the way and we’ll be back next time we’re in Edinburgh.

Unique decor and atmosphere blended with youthful, friendly staff and excellent beer & whisky selection make for a great night (PS over 40s are welcome 😉 and you could easily pass yourself off as a Prof.! ) Outside space is very good too and used in (most) weathers 🙂🌧

Good variety of ales, the volcano IPA is a particular favourite. A bit pricier than nearby bars. Decent selection of pub food, too. Excellent location for drinks before a gig, and the courtyard is great on a beautiful Edinburgh, summer night.

Very very cool location. The squid from Madrid sandwhich was so damn good. Gin tour at Pickering was great with our tour guide Jamie. He did great.

Has own beer and gin selection which are both very delicious. Quirky decor in keeping with history of the building which was the central veterinarian school.
Don’t try and park as there isn’t any and during the festival there are usually external bars and food trucks.

Lovely place with bookable private room. Food used to be good with lasagne and haggis stuffed egg, but now it’s just hamburgery fare.

The absolute beating heart of the Edinburgh arts scene.
Lovely food and drink but more importantly, much more importantly, a place that is trying to make a difference.

Love the quirky atmosphere and the outdoor seating. All very casual, nice for a drink. Come here often with friends or visitors as like historic connection with vet school also.

Awesome location, absolute gem in fact, all the old vetinary school artifacts make this gaff unmissable. The staff are very bit random, but the food was excellent and the beer flowed like wine

Quirky kind of place but to be fair I'm probably not the right age and demographic. Glorious setting and great Uni courtyard. Just a tad flat to me and omg pricey beer even by Edinburgh standards. But hey fill your boots

Our friend in Edinburgh went to vet school at The Royal Dick and suggested we go for a drink and some food. The staff is super friendly and helpful, the drinks are great and the food was delicious. I will definitely be putting this on my list of places to come back to.

Nice place. Big open space next to the meadow's in Edinburgh. Serves food. Went for Canada day quiz and they played Canadian music. Served putine and had beers from Canada on the bar. Seating is better outside than inside but still plenty of space. Was a busy night at the pub quiz. They do contactless and have beer on tap as well as other drinks. Reasonable price for city centre Edinburgh with a beer garden and good music/decor.

Open pub, with novel lagers, and a large selection of gins from the Pickering Distillery next door. Staff were particularly pleasant. The rooms are interestingly decorated with flags, tribal masks and hats.
