Old wooden bar counters, crackling fireplaces, live music, and hundreds of whiskies on the walls: every neighborhood has its favorite spots. Our team has lived in Edinburgh since 2012 and is sharing its top picks with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Traditional pubs in Edinburgh&#039;s Old Town<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The old town is home to the oldest addresses, primarily located between the Royal Mile and the Grassmarket. The tourist office <a href=\"https:\/\/edinburgh.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Forever Edinburgh<\/a> It also lists events in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Deacon Brodie&#039;s Tavern, on the Royal Mile, which recalls the story of the notable turned burglar, the source of inspiration for <em>Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde<\/em>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Bow Bar, in Victoria Street, renowned for its selection of whiskies and its music-free atmosphere.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Last Drop, on the Grassmarket, whose name evokes the executions that once took place there.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Greyfriars Bobby&#039;s Bar, opposite the statue of the city&#039;s most famous little dog.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The pubs in the new town<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new, Georgian and elegant town, on the other hand, offers more elaborate interiors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Caf\u00e9 Royal, with its stained glass windows, Victorian tiles and mahogany bar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Oxford Bar, tiny and unpretentious, made famous by Ian Rankin&#039;s Inspector Rebus.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The pubs of Stockbridge, a village area by the water, are perfect in the late afternoon.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where can I listen to live music?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sandy Bell&#039;s, near the university, hosts traditional music sessions almost every night. The smaller Captain&#039;s Bar also offers sessions in a very local atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These pubs don&#039;t require a ticket. However, arrive early, as seats fill up quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Historic pubs outside the city center<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, in Duddingston, at the foot of Arthur&#039;s Seat, the Sheep Heid Inn boasts a history dating back to 1360 and features an antique bowling alley. It&#039;s a well-deserved reward after the climb up the hill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Leith, the city&#039;s old port, the Shore pubs blend a maritime atmosphere with refined cuisine. Find these areas in our guide to learn more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightside-travel.com\/en\/guides\/things-to-do-in-edinburgh\/\">What to do in Edinburgh<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Understanding Scottish pub culture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, you order and pay at the counter, without waiting for table service. Tipping is not mandatory, but offering the bartender a drink is customary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, most pubs serve food until early evening. Children are welcome in many establishments during the day, often until 8 p.m. Finally, closing times vary: some close at 11 p.m., others at 1 a.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our tips for discovering Edinburgh&#039;s traditional pubs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Start early, around 5 p.m., to find a seat at the most popular venues.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid the Royal Mile in the middle of August, during the festivals: the city is packed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Taste a whisky from several regions to compare, with a little still water.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ask the bartender for advice: the selection changes often.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Walk or take the tram home, because driving after a whisky is out of the question in Scotland.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To continue your exploration, follow our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightside-travel.com\/en\/guides\/distilleries-scotland\/\">distilleries of Scotland<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"brightside-cta-devis\" style=\"background:#faf8f0;border-left:4px solid #384229;border-radius:6px;padding:24px;margin:32px 0\"><p style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-size:1.2em;font-weight:700;color:#1b1f13\">Fancy a trip to Scotland?<\/p><p style=\"margin:0 0 16px;color:#1b1f13\">Our team, based in Edinburgh since 2012, designs your tailor-made itinerary and accompanies you throughout your stay.<\/p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightside-travel.com\/en\/request-a-quote\/\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#384229;color:#ffffff;font-weight:600;padding:14px 24px;border-radius:6px;text-decoration:none\">Get my free quote<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently asked questions about traditional Edinburgh pubs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the oldest pub in Edinburgh?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is the Sheep Heid Inn in Duddingston that claims a history dating back to 1360. Several pubs in the centre also boast very ancient origins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can you eat in Edinburgh pubs?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, because most serve simple fare: haggis, fish and chips, soups, and burgers. Service often stops in the early evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are children allowed in pubs?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Often yes, during the day and until early evening, provided you are accompanied. However, this depends on each establishment&#039;s license.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where can I listen to traditional music in Edinburgh?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sandy Bell&#039;s remains the go-to spot, with sessions almost every night. The Captain&#039;s Bar, on the other hand, offers a more intimate atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Discover Edinburgh&#039;s pubs with Brightside Travel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our team lives in the city and knows all the best spots, from the most touristy to the most hidden gems.
