Greyfriars Bobby's Bar - Edinburgh

Really lovely food in a relaxed atmosphere under the current circumstances. The staff were very friendly. Should we come back to Edinburgh again (hopefully) we will deffo be back x

A pint at last! Popped in for a drink around 5pm on Monday with a small group of five. None of us had been in before it's usually very busy, especially with tourists in the summer. Started talking to one of the bar staff in the doorway and they had a couple of tables free so decided to go in and chose a table by the window at the front. Lovely pub, strange at first but quickly relaxed and got used to not wearing face coverings indoors! I would guess they're running at about half capacity, felt very spacious with the social distancing measures. None of us had been to a pub since lockdown began but the staff were extremely welcoming and quickly put us all at ease. I enjoyed my first cask ale in months, well, more than one. : I should say that although we were lucky and walked in without a booking, they asked that next time we pre book through their app. Two of our group used the bathroom and said it was extremely clean not to be taken for granted in central Edinburgh! but it is up one flight of stairs if that makes a difference to you. Can't really comment on the food as only had light bites but the fries and chips were good. I'll go back but it's also made me feel better about going out to pubs in general strange times. Recommend.

5 stars for the food vibe, but 3 stars for the service. Yes, it was on Boxing Day and it was jammed pack inside so will give them the benefit of the doubt. Will definitely be back for another try. Had a couple of their Famous Pies and they all were great!

The quality of food is satisfying. Don't expect Michelin star flavours, but service, prices and atmosphere make up for the food quality.

Lovely historic pub in good central Edinburgh location. Extensive menu with some Scottish specialities we had the steak and ale pie and the buttermilk chicken/avocado burger both decent but not spectacular. Good pub atmosphere and decent beer on tap. Prompted us to look up the story of Greyfriar’s Bobby!
