So glad to have stopped for a whiskey tasting. I wish I caught the bartender's name (barman working yesterday around 3pm - shoutout and thank you to you!), because he was fantastic. Friendly and shared a ton of info about the whiskey while making it approachable and enjoyable. Some places can be pre
Really lovely pub near The Royal Mile. Came here to do a "Whiskey Flight", tasting three different Malts from specific regions. Instead of trying to sell us just anything, the friendly and very competent bartender asked us what we like about Whiskey and recommended a lovely selection of drinks. Had
This place is just amazing. We went for whisky tasting (5/5, such a cool guy he was) and overstayed as it was raining and the place is so nice. On the next day we had to come for a pint and came across what seemed to be local folk group rehersal or just casual Sunday gig.
Had a great time here taking in Ralph Brown’s fringe comedy routine (Ralpha Male) and a pint here at the Waverley. (I would agree that anyone who says they have rescued a dog from Santorini by taking them to Aberdeen, maybe didn’t consider the dog’s perspective.) Cool spot!
Best atmosphere! Best pub to have pint after long day at work ! Shout out to Sophie and the gentleman in a glasses (sorry don’t know the name) Local pastry chef here enjoying the venue each day more ! Thank you for being amazing hosts every time ! Keep up guys best pub in Edinburgh! ❤️❤️❤️
I stopped in here for a quick drink and a rest on a day where I was hanging out around the Royal Mile. The barman was pretty friendly. I just got a rum and coke and enjoyed it at a table outside since it was a sunny summer day. It's a nice spot off the RM to people watch or there's spots inside to e
Great little bar and I was lucky to visit when they had live music. Great selection of whisky and the beer is good. Ask for the whisky list if you want to learn a bit about the different regions and flavor profiles offered.
The drinks choices are limited, although that's not necessarily a very bad thing. I used to come here when the old gent owned and run the place, and it always sort of refused to conform to "modern pub standards" -- again, no bad thing. It's lost maybe a little of that "original charm" but it's also
Went for a fringe show and had a great time, lovely staff, fair priced drinks, and an excellent whisky selection, the barman Cameron was very helpful and was quick to recommend a dram from their extensive library of bottles. Would come back happily for a few drams, very recommended
A fantastic wee bar, a great selection of whisky and gin. Didn’t have any food.
We went to a comedy show upstairs, which was really funny - Stuart Mitchell, worth checking out 😂
Ask for David if you want to learn about the wonders of scotch. We spent an hour one Waverley and got a PHD in scotch.
Amazing atmosphere and service. Just don't sit next to the mens toilets, the door wafts pee-smell at you everytime someone enters or exits. Otherwise a wonderful pub, definitely recommend.
Great pub !
Fantastic music gig on a sunday afternoon, jam session with various musicians.
Whisky tasting upstairs also..
Not a food pub so I can’t rate that. However it’s a proper pub, quality, friendly staff with superb whisky knowledge. A great sit at the bar proper pub.
Great little bar. Full of amazing options for whiskey lovers and draft cider and beer for the rest. Spoke to David … knows his stuff and was a pleasure to meet! Definitely worth popping in.
Great place with traditional Scottish music
Best pub iv been in for years. Visiting my home town and this was just great. Actually I was at the Heretics gathering upstairs and had a brilliant night of Scottish poetry and music.
Super charming pub with a good selection if beers and spirits.Attentive,friendly staff
