Classy Scottish grub, craft beer, clutter, antiquary, and great tunes. And, yes, that 's what you 're going to find here. Also, they 're dog friendly, family friendly, vegan friendly if you need a bite; they 're just all around friendly. As you can imagine, all of this as well as being in a touristy area makes it almost always busy. Not sure what to order? They 've got beer on draught, 250+ single malts, whisky flights for both the novice and experienced, and if you don 't know just ask. I did. I wanted something from the Highlands that had notes of toffee. The bartender passed me over to the owner who made a suggestion and encouraged me to try it before committing. But it was exactly what I was looking for (and I have no idea what it was)! Cheers, Dirty Dick 's!

I 've tried quite a few things on the menu, including the Dirty Fries (haggis on chips) and it was great. In fact, all of the food we tried was great. The staff was also really friendly. Each time we came in, we ended up having a good chat with our server, and a few laughs with the bar mate. The atmosphere was the real winner here. It 's dark and red, with interesting conversation pieces hanging everywhere. It has a speak-easy kind of vibe. When I brought my 5 year old in, I was surprised at how child-friendly they were. In fact, several times, we came in and there were families eating here. It 's rare to find a place you could bring a date, a mate, or your kids!

It reminded me of the Salty Dog in Homer, Alaska. Quirky. Darker. Sawed off golf clubs hanging from the ceiling and older Rum signs. The bottles holding the tall candles on the tables. I really wanted to get a t-shirt! If they had sweatshirts (I can't remember)then yes!! We wanted to go back and never had the chance.

Has the old pub feel because it is an old pub. Easy to hide in a dark corner if you don't want to be seen drowning your sorrows.
