Visited this famous location expecting an exceptional experience! It was a quite Wednesday evening, we were sat in a booth which beers could be ordered through a hatch. Food was good quality, hot and as expected. Service was slow, which I would of expected to be more attentive based on how empty the place was...live singer came on a 9pm which was a nice touch.....
Came here for a quick tea with Dad.
I had the pork belly, black pudding and goats cheese risotto which is all three of my favourite things combined. My dad had fish and chips which came with a delicious chippie sauce, needless to say I stole most of that.
Lovely waitress, lovely food, lovely place.
I've been to Ghullie Dhu on various occasions and I always enjoyed myself. The pub downstairs is nice, the staff is fast and they have Staropramen on the tap which is always a nice surprise. It can get busy on Fridays and Saturdays though. There is a lovely big room upstairs where I've been to ceilidh couple of times. It's usually full of tourists so everyone is running around and no one knows what to do. So I think there are better ceilidhs in Edinburgh, for example in Summerhall where the ceilidh club meets once in a while. The band here is usually good though, trying to explain the steps in detail. Overall, if you're looking to see a quirky venue and dance some ceilidh you should go here. They only do the ceilidh on certain days so make sure you know in advance.
