Biddy Mulligans Pub in Edinburgh, City of

Lovely atmosphere great vibes good lager

Sociable Irish Pup, had a lovely evening!

Service charge added even if just a pint is pulled...

Great spot in Edinburgh! Defo worth a stop if your Irish and into Sports

Very friendly and nice place with delicious food and Scottish beers 🥰🥰

Absolutely the Worst Bar Experience I've Ever Had If you’re looking for a place with zero atmosphere, rude staff, and drinks that taste like regret—look no further. From the moment we walked in, we were treated like an inconvenience. The bartender looked like we interrupted their nap, and it only went downhill from there. We waited 25 minutes for two beers in a place that was practically empty. When we asked (politely!) about our order, we got eye-rolls and attitude like we were the problem. And when the drinks finally arrived, they were warm. Warm. Beer. The music was loud enough to make your ears bleed, but somehow not loud enough to drown out the argument happening between two staff members behind the bar. Super classy. We left after one drink, and even that felt like too much. Save your money, your time, and your dignity—go literally anywhere else

Went for breakfast, £15 per person, the open buffet was a joke, just yoghurt and jam and a couple cheeses, main course was acceptable for me but my gf's pancakes were microscopic and cold. There were barely any cups for the tea, and I had to ask for hot water for every cup because they didn't have it on the buffet. Also the milk was missing. Would not recommend!

Horrible place , staff miserable and prices extortionate. Went to the toilet and there was no water in them to flush , 2 of the toilets had poo down them . You could just about wash your hands , minimal amount of water from taps. Would you want to eat here?!

Visiting Edinburgh and fancied a pub dinner and drinks. My partner and I ordered food together and his came out first, which is absolutely fine. 35 minutes went by after my partners meal had been delivered and still no sign of my food. And no acknowledgment to my food not arriving, despite waitresses cleaning up my partners meal and not saying anything about where mine was. After I chased up my food, they disappeared into the kitchen, came out and put my dinner on the table - 50 mins after ordering at this point and there were no apologies at all and chips were slightly warm and there were no offerings of sauce or condiments. Totally understand mistakes happen, but keeping the paying customer in the loop and apologising goes a really long way and I would have completely understood and appreciated their apology and explanation. Very poor

Friendly lively pub with the Wee Pub connected which is a little quiet area to sit.

We walked up and down Grassmarket looking for a pub with room inside to escape the cold and managed to squeeze into Biddy's. Drinks were reasonably priced although bar service was quite slow. We shared a scampi spice bag between us which came out quite quickly and hit the spot. The "Irish curry sauce" advertised on the menu was definitely just tinned McDonnell's, but it was nice nonetheless. The staff need a better system for table numbering and ordering because twice we were offered somebody else's food by the waiter!

Great service, cool pub. Will visit again

Clara's service was fantastic, lots of great stories and fast service.

Sat and had lunch when it was busy, Clara was very attentive and had lots to chat about, can’t wait to come back next time I'm in Edinburgh again.

Enjoyed our visit here. Though £3.50-£4 dearer than other pubs we visited that night for exactly the same drinks.

Last February 21, I went with my family to drink 2 Guinness beers at this bar. When we arrived, they served us well and gave us the 2 beers, but when we paid with the card, the guy at the bar told us that the machine failed and that we had to repeat the payment with a new machine. We were confident that there had indeed been an error and made the payment again, where we were told that it had been effective. After leaving the bar, we checked our bank account and found that we had been charged twice for the same beers. In view of this, we went to the bar the next day and were told to contact them via Gmail so that the money could be refunded. We never received a reply, no apology, no solution, nor were we refunded the extra £14 paid. For days we kept insisting and never received an answer, we felt ripped off and with a very bad impression of this bar.

A good Irish pub located on the Grassmarket Square. The atmosphere is great; you won't be disappointed. The food is good, but not amazing.

Great place. Good breakfast Really nice pub

It was Saint Patrick's Day and we were looking for a pub to have a beer and live the experience, we had the soup of the day, fish a d chips and cullen skin soup, all very delicious.

Just ok - we were lured in by the Wee Pub which was cute but actually just a room to this pub.

Perfect place to grab few drinks!

Came here after having dinner at a nearby restaurant. Good live music bar. I think they have live music every day. Good atmosphere also. Ideal for a couple of hours after dinner.

Good beer, good service. Ideal for having a drink and following sporting events.

Great atmosphere, well run pub. Friendly staff and good selection of food. The manager Ruari runs a tight ship. Place to go for watching the Six Nations. Only criticism I wish they had Peroni or Heineken lol.

Terrible experience! You have to do the orders food/drinks by yourself and have to pay extra service tax (service that doesn’t exist) 2pounds for each order you do! If you go to order something 3 times you will be charged 3 times the service that they don’t have! The food is small plates/portions and super overpriced! Resumed you do everything by yourself and pay them! You feel like an idiot!! I do not recommend

Live music and a fantastic atmosphere

Had the breakfast portion size just right service was a little slow but it was the same day as the rugby at Murrayfield so it was busy so best to reserve a table

Good service, door staff where nice, has a good atmosphere in the evening.

A fantastic atmosphere, especially during the Six Nations. We loved the food and live music, and the staff were incredibly helpful, making for a great visit.

Ruairi Is always happy to serve with a smile on his face, always makes my day when I visit. Thanks again Ruairi 💕

We enjoyed an evening of drinks and music here during our recent trip to Edinburgh. Great if you're looking for a relaxed pub with live local music. Staff were very friendly. We didn't eat but the food did look good.

Came for breakfast. Food was great, service was very quick and attentive. Couldn’t ask for anything more.

We ordered the fish and chips, loaded steak taters, bangers & mash, and sticky toffee pudding with ice cream, all well prepared and satisfying. The beer selection was solid, and the staff recommended Caorunn gin, a Scottish option that was smooth and enjoyable. The service was friendly and attentive. Overall, a great spot for classic pub fare.

Popped in for brekkie and a Guinness after a morning hike in Edinburgh, food was great quality and the pint even better, will be back!

Very good beer and good Saracens-Harlequins rugby match

Great pub. Great craic and atmosphere.

Local pub with good atmosphere Live music is good. People are also friendly. I want a Scottish man I was impressed with a glass of Baby Guinness.

Great atmosphere watching the rugby! Service was top notch and quick, which was great considering how busy it was! Will definitely be back!

Classic Irish place in the centre of Edinburgh. Can't go wrong if you want a good pint in the touristy and night time area of the city. Prices are fair for the area of town.

Happily served this American a judgement free 0930 Guinness. She also melted my brain with her melodic Scottish accent.

Nice pub! Sometimes with nice music, don't forget your ID when coming late.

Always go there when in Edinburgh super place to go

Had a lovely breakfast at biddie mulligans during my visit to Edinburgh! Had the avocado on toast which was lovely and fresh! A nice warm atmosphere with staff members being attentive and going out their way to recommend spots for me to go.

I really enjoyed the vibes at Biddies, such lovely staff! I was served by a lovely girl, think her name was Marnie? Food was fast and tasty. We even spoke to the general manager who helped add to the authentic feel of an Irish pub.

It was my favorite bar in Edinburgh 😍 live music, relaxed atmosphere, cozy!

Great boozer but the toilets are vile

Food was alright, most items on the menu were not available. Uncomfortable seating, and expensive for the food they offer. Will not eat there ever again.

The food is not bad, it's good pub food. On the other hand, the service was deplorable, we ended up doing the service ourselves. They didn't give us enough cutlery for everyone and when it came time to pay, the waitress was unparalleled in her condescension and contempt. We felt like we were disturbing her. So for a service that we pay for, it is deplorable or even non-existent. I don't recommend.

Total rip off - do not frequent! They advertise a Macallan at £7.50 and charged me £11! Refused a refund when this was pointed out.

Really good atmosphere very lively

We only stopped to have a beer, as we were with our baby and we already knew we couldn't go into pubs, we ordered and sat outside, a delicious beer and a place to enjoy it.

Great location, minuted away from the cementery from the bobby statue and Victorian street.

Great pub with a great atmosphere and great staff

Nice pub with good selection of beers and food. Great music and nice atmosphere. Lots of celebration and fun.

I really liked the establishment, namely, its lightness and sincerity. The atmosphere is friendly, people drink, dance and enjoy the music. There is live music, at least on Saturday evening there was a lot of people. I can’t say anything about the food - we didn’t order it. Free admission . I recommend it.

Very good atmosphere, nice pub decor.

I found the food at this place pub was rubbish. They don't have most things on the menu. We had a Sunday roast and there was no lamb or pork available and that was like 12.30pm. The vegetables was not cook properly and there was hardly any gravy on the food so asked for a bit more gravy and was charged £2.00 for that. We mentioned it that the gravy shouldn't be charged and the staff just ignored us and still.charged us for the extra gravy.Wouldn't go back here for food. The staff wasn't very friendly people either. Also, they charge service charge on the bill. Never once the staff asked if everything was okay, did we enjoy the food but was quick to charge service charge on the bill. Don't think we'll go back here again or recommend it.

A very nice location with a lot of selection of drinks. You order and pay at the bar. The staff are very friendly and can also recommend drinks. From 8 p.m. a (we estimate) regional musician came, sat on a chair and acoustically perfected the atmosphere with his guitar. This pub is highly recommended.

Nice wee pub brilliant fish and chips

An Irish pub so had to have the Irish stew, which was quite delicious! And of course washed down by Guinness, being an Irish pub (in Scotland) 😆 Service was really good, especially at lunchtime on a Sunday.

Excellent atmosphere. The pub broadcasts rugby matches from other nations. I recommend

Decent bar, great music. Bar staff are attentive and not rude despite being slammed. Only gripe I have is the fact the house drinks (vodka in particular) are so expensive despite the poor quality. Something like £10 for a double of something with a name I've never seen.

Good atmosphere and a good range of drinks.

Had an excellent experience. Food, drink and atmosphere are all worth repeating.

Cozy pub in Grassmarket area of Edinburgh.

Was delicious good and great service! Such a fun place to go!

Everyone is very friendly and brings a smile to your face. I would recommend anyone traveling to Edinburgh to take a break in this pub and enjoy the atmosphere.

It's a little Pub with nice people.

Came for a drink after visiting Victoria Street and ordered the haggis loaded tater tots. They were absolutely delicious and the best haggis I’d had in my trip to Edinburgh. Could’ve ordered it again 10 times over. Great atmosphere and can tell that if there was any sport on then it’d be a great place to come to.

Great pints and brilliant service. John on bar was class! So so friendly and courteous and pours a stunning pint of G, will definitely be back hopefully John is working

Unsanitary at its FINEST. They reuse beer glasses under the spout. They never once wash their hands. I saw a lemon drop and roll on the floor and the girl picked it up and started cutting it again adding it to their lemons and lime pile for drinks. We were disgusted. Also, the main blonde girl bartender was very rude.

Cheila was amazing! Beer was well worth the price! Best bar in Ireland!

Cheila was absolutely amazing and so polite. She honestly was the best bartender we met in Dublin. Out of all the bars, this one was an absolute gem. Please come here if you visit Dublin!

Advertised as the smallest pub in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (although I have my doubts that this is the case). Near Grassmarket Square and Victoria Street, we are welcomed by a typical pub with screens showing old matches in black and white. We found it by chance and it surprised us, it has a varied offer of well-drafted beers and a generous menu. We ordered the Fish & Chips and the Mac & Cheese and it was all delicious. They were very quick to serve us and very friendly, the time we spent in the pub was very pleasant, thank you for everything.

Food was okay, but the service and entertainment is what made the night. Great cover bands and the server was fantastic! Bonus, right across from our hotel so we could drink and not have to worry about getting back.

Came here fresh off a trip to Dublin. Great Guinness being served up.

The live music was great, lots of people. Seemed decent. The nacho cheese was burned so I couldn't pull the chips off the plate and the Irish stew was so-so, and for our first experience in Scotland, we didn't know we needed to order at the bar. When we asked staff for a menu a couple times, they got snippy with us, but we didn't know. Other than that, the staff working the bar were decent and guests were having a great time. We wanted to like it, and it had the ability to be good.

Friendly, The food and drink as expected!

It was okay - nothing more. The live music was nice.

Came here a few times. Great location, service, and a fantastic pint of guiness. Breakfast was average.

Lively atmosphere, tasty food, and a prime location in Grassmarket. I recommend it to anyone looking for a pub with good food options in the heart of Edinburgh.

Great atmosphere and decent food. Some good vegan options available but menu is limited

Great pub - lively atmosphere. The salmon salad was very tasty, fresh, and a generous portion size. A bit disappointed with the taste of the Irish coffee, but overall a decent pub with lovely staff.

Good general pub in Grassmarket. Get away from the crowds and get a snack and a pint.

Cracking pub in the market district of Edinburgh. Always lively and has a great atmosphere. It's my go to on every Edinburgh trip. Cheers!

Fantastic pints, and great food. But here’s the issue: the service is woeful. Sorry, and I do love this pub, but was left standing for 10 minutes at the bar while 4 times the bar staff ignored me to tend to their friends who had walked in. Then proceeded to serve other patrons who had just arrived. And sadly this is not an isolated incident. Bar staff simply seem to pick and choose when it suits them to serve paying customers. And until that changes I simply won’t be coming back.

The beer selection is good. We enjoyed drinks outside in the sun. We were able to order online using the QR code and pay directly. The drinks are brought directly to the table.

First meal in Scotland after traveling 28 hours. The smoked haddock's chowder was to die for! This is saying a lot considering I'm from Cape Cod. Everyone was happy with their meals. Excellent place to go.

Only had a few whiskeys here didn’t have any food, but friendly atmosphere and staff. Unfortunately the musician called in sick the night I was there… They stay open a bit later than most pubs in the area. Would go again.

Brlliant pub with great staff. Thanks. We will be back

Nice pub, great service from zhasmin

Lively Irish bar, plenty of comfy seating, reasonably priced and good service. A good place to spend an hour or two whilst in Edinburgh.

Well for students, very loud and crowdy. Excellenz good nevertheless

Typischer Pub mit Life Musik am Abend. Personal sehr aufmerksam höflich und zuvorkommend. Frühstück für Hotelgäste des Grassmarket Hotel war ausgezeichnet. Verschiedene Biere am Zapfhahn. Gin Tonic nicht zu empfehlen, da ein aus unserer Sicht minderwertiges Tonic genutzt wird.

Best pub in Edinburgh, Carbomb perle and the food was also very great. A good reason to come to Scotland, thank you very much.

Just had drinks here decent boozer that gets lively later on

Loved the atmosphere, better than any other on grassmarket and the guiness is probably some of the best in Edinburgh! definitely would recommend :)

Decent spot for a drink and a bite to eat

Went on a Saturday night, very busy spot, no seats available. Good music but only stayed for one as it was too busy for us. Seems like good craic if you get there early to get settled in.

Excellent food, lovely pub which was enjoyable despite the cheeky, pretentious, precious bar girl that refused to serve me until I said please after having said thanks before, pathetic.
