- Rafa LarrañagaNovember 10, 2014Nice place for the first contact with the Scottish national dish: The amazing Haggis. Nice staff and more than 200 types of whisky for your choice!

Sandi SmithAugust 10, 2012Good way to try haggis is to have the 'wee taste of haggis' starter. I had it for lunch. Nice & filling and great if you're a bit haggis shy!

Ben EngenNovember 7, 2022I couldn't even precisely tell you why, but this is one of my favorites in Edinburgh. It's just got a real nice vibe. It's energetic without being chaotic and feels neighborhoody despite the locale.Upvote2Downvote
Jorge CarvalloNovember 3, 2016he food here is amazing and for a good price. We chose (2 people) a haggis pie, a belhaven steak pie, a hot cider, a pint and a dessert (cranachan) for 35 pounds. Excelent service and location.UpvoteDownvote
Gayle HiggottDecember 21, 2012The full Scottish breakfast was tasty and enough to keep you going all day. Good location on Scottish mile. Not dead traditional but warm and friendly.Upvote2Downvote

BrendaJune 9, 2017Great whisky selection with knowledgeable and friendly bartenders. Pretty much perfect.UpvoteDownvote- Jonny CaseyJune 29, 2013The Balmoral Chicken & Haloumi Fries are both awesome! Great range of whiskies too, but only 3 bottles of wine to choose fromUpvote2Downvote
Quin RMarch 25, 2022Touristy. Bartenders know a little about whisky, they lean towards to more known distilleries. Haggis was good. Fish and chips too doughy for me.UpvoteDownvote
Jörgen FMay 4, 2015Good bar with a big collection of whisky. But i just took a pale ale ☺

Jason MoranOctober 19, 2010Claims to have over 200 scotches, whichs appears truthful. Not as 'old world' feel as I'd like here, but nice place for what it is. Decent food, full meals, very clean. Right on middle of Royal Mile.Upvote1Downvote
