Was with a few working friends for the cocktail masterclass for an employee party. The staff was really welcoming and so much fun. They really knew there was something like that, and they all had a lot of drinks together. Would recommend anyone who wants to make a master class with a group of friends somewhere. 10/10 will be back.

This place is really special my husband and I were on vacation in Edinburgh, and fell on a whim. We came as they opened, and had the most beautiful time to meet and with the staff about everything from our time in Ireland, sports, business, drinking recommendations, travel, you call it! Everyone was so friendly, especially the owner. It was our last night of our vacation, and I can't think of a better place to have spent it. Very recommend you pay them a visit!

This stunning Irish-themed bar is located in one of Edinburgh's famous vaults. The bar service is fantastic, and they offer a great selection of popular beers on tap. A helpful tip: you can catch free fringe performances during the festival. This place is truly one-of-a-kind. When you visit Edinburgh, this bar is definitely worth experiencing, as the location feels unique and adventurous. It's not your typical bar!

If you love live music, delicious Guinness AND good craic get yourself to Dropkick Murphys! With this being the best Irish pub in Scotland, I could not recommend more! The staff are fast serving and overall good vibes. Incomparable to other pubs, you can even get a t-shirt if you split the g!!!! Lots of drink options and unique weekly events, this is where it’s at.

I love the band and headed here for a drink and wanted to buy a dkm jersey. They were sold out of jerseys, and played top 40 dance music. I was hoping to hear some pub like songs like boys on the docks or rose tattoo. Staff were friendly, guiness was good. Price per person: £1–10 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4
