An incredibly busy pub at the weekends, so avoid then if you have a dislike of stag and hen groups, or just rowdy men in their 30's acting like they were 20 again.
The variety of drinks is vast, kegs, casks and bottles for beer there are a huge amount. But the food is a master stroke, the manager picked up chefs from renowned pubs such as Element and the Albanach to bring a bit of flair to the regular pub grub.
Braised shin of beef on horseradish mash is fantastic, and certainly would not have been on offer under the previous head chef, but this is what you can get now. There are the staples still available, scampi, fish and chips, burgers etc.
The Black Bull proves to be a constant hit for tourists and, as evident by the bustling day trade, they continue to build on this reputation and go from strength to strength.
Very nice eccletic pub at the foot of the Grassmarket area. Nice selection of beers and a few tasty cocktails. Great for a late night hangout spot or just to watch a soccer game. I tries the mac and cheese and wasn't disappointed! Welcoming, clean atmosphere.
Great food in the Grass Market! Loved the haggis and pulled pork fries within the menu! The cider and beer choices were also optimal!
