About

Just off Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, this gin-and-whisky bar pairs traditional Scottish pub dishes with a well-reviewed vegan fish and chips, though one diner found the vegan fish bland. Reviews mention attentive staff, whisky and gin flights, cocktails, and occasional live music; vegan items have sometimes sold out or been unavailable when a fryer was broken.
