Fantastic place we thought, they were the last Friday of the month. Then there's live music there. Nice staff and very good drinks to choose from. Humane prices and very nice people. Don't be afraid to talk to someone, everyone is very nice. Knowledgeable bartenders ;) we don't know anything so can't say anything about the food. But are they as much love and atmosphere as inside the pub in the food. So they probably taste fantastic, I think.;) will easily visit this place again when we go there👍👍🏴󠁧󠁣󠁴󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁿

Very quiet. MAYBE due this place being a pub, whilst the barmaid thought that it was a lunch time disco where you couldn't hear yourself think, let alone converse. Prices were OK.

Un pub muy auténtico escocés. Con muy buena música. Y dirigido por dos mujeres super alegres y amables que aunque no las entendía muy bien. (Mi inglés es más standard British), que no escocés . Nos hicieron pasar un rato muy divertido. Tiran la cerveza 🍻 super profesional. En este caso ALMA DE MADRID. Así que si pasáis por Edimburgo no os lo podéis perder.

I popped in for a pint on the way home after having a few pints elsewhere, only to be confronted by an aggressive barmaid who said I could only have one pint even though I was probably the most sober customer in there. Fine, no problem. Sat alone having a quiet pint and asking for another was refused with a smirk and a shake of a head, even though I was surrounded by drunks that were clearly more drunk than me. Staff ought to realise that they are overheads whereas customers are income. Hardly a shining example of how to run a pub. No loss to me - I can drink anywhere else where my custom is welcome.

Como esta es una franquicia y hay una en nuestra ciudad natal, asumimos que el pub de Edimburgo permitiría a los niños. Si bien hubiera sido más que aceptarlo, si hubiéramos sido advertidos de una manera tranquila y educada, este no era el caso. La camarera nos gritó antes incluso de que hubiéramos abierto la puerta completamente. A juzgar por otros comentarios, parecen tener una reputación por su servicio al cliente.

I used to drink here all the time when I was at university and I never had a bad word to say about the place. But the last couple of times I have went the staff have been incredibly rude. On both occasions I went with friends, one of the bar ladies came over to our table and told us "If you aren't going to order anything else then you'll have to leave." We were all still halfway through our drinks and hadn't been drinking for a long time (15 minutes at the most). When we did finish, she got more pushy and implied we'd been wasting time. I get that people who sit in a booth wasting time ordering nothing is a pain, but this was not the case on either occasion. If anything it sounds like she was trying to pressure us to buy booze. It's disappointing that I'm having to leave this review because I like Drouthies, but if this is to be a regular occurrence then I'm afraid I won't be visiting anymore.

Had just bought a drink for the second half of the Champions League Final when we were chucked out because the pub was "over the limit of people". A few other groups were also told to leave even though they'd been in the pub for a fair while. Didn't make any sense, the pub wasn't too busy compared to others - at the Cask and Barrel up the road there was hardly any standing space, in Drouthy's there was still plenty. The staff were rude, slow and didn't offer to refund the drinks we'd just bought. Never going back here.

Scottish pub in the center of Edinburgh. Even without a reservation they let us sit upstairs. The place isn't very big, but overall it's very nice. The menu offers excellent Scottish dishes, from starters to desserts (the Cranachan is excellent) and finally Scottish whiskies. The portions are not abundant. The staff is kind. The only flaw of the venue: the lack of live music.
