Kay’s Bar in Edinburgh, City of - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Absolutely fantastic traditional pub, beautiful old school decor, like stepping back in time. Very friendly regulars and Andrew behind the bar was the ideal host, had a good chat and he gave us a list of recommended pubs in Edinburgh. Essential visit if you're in the area.

Great times ! Proper old school pub with the best cask ales and really lovely staff.

Has a good reputation but reality is different. Awful rude staff. Unpleasant avoid at all costs there are so many good bars in ed. This is not one of them.

Great authentic place for a drink! The bartender is a really nice guy and knows how to bartend. Great selection of whiskey and beers.

Best Guinness in Edinburgh. Perfect winter bar - cosy by the fire and nice atmosphere.

Bit pricey, ~£15 for a pint of Guinness and a line of neck oil. Didn’t realise what we’d been charged till after we’d sat down. Pub has a great vibe though and I’d suggest it.

Very small but great traditional pub in Edinburgh, also very supportive of dog owners - so take your dog with you 😁

Really nice, cozy, tacked away little pub. Atmosphere is great, has good ale. Highly recommended!

When in Edenburg, you must visit this place and drink delicious beer and experience the brilliant atmosphere

Quite small, but a good atmosphere and friendly, knowledgeable staff.

Friendly , good meal and nice location

Great little put with a cute dog inside

Authentic bar of a lifetime and more. Preserving the decoration and style of the time. Quiet environment frequented by local people. Many tap beers and ciders to choose from. The guy at the bar is nice and serves quickly. It is worth the visit

Comfortable little pub/bar with a brilliant library snug at the back Good beer on tap and great service

Brilliant place to go, expect to stand ☺️

Very friendly service, typical Scottish food and ambience.

Great little local, good selection of beer and whisky

Splendid small mews bar with some interesting beers and a huge amount of character. Can get very full at weekends.

Main courses are £8 each. Great value and top quality.

Good beer selection, great atmosphere

Atmospheric, small bar. Good choice of craft or real ales.

So inconspicuous and small but all the more charming. Delicious beers and nice ambience

hello um whiskey I came here to enjoy whiskey The lineup is really heavy. No, but in the UK Enjoying the pub atmosphere It's perfect, playing chess next to you It's a cool British place where couples bring their dogs. I recommend it. I tried 3 draft beers to enjoy the atmosphere, but they weren't good. If you're curious, the price is approximately 6 pounds and expensive drinks cost 10 pounds per glass.

Great Neighborhood Pub in Edinburgh. Friendly and lively.

This is one of those pubs you don't forget and when you arrive you know the trek was worth it. Seemingly in the middle of row housing, this little cozy tavern's red accents beckon you to come inside. Truly a tiny place but warm and welcoming. Takes you back in time. Clearly many locals and folks who return often and I can't blame them. Had a tasty pint of Landlord and was on my way.

Proper pub tucked away on a quiet street in Edinburgh’s New Town

Great old school pub. Hidden jem.

What a great bar. Tried 2 different pints and both of super quality. Lovely friendly atmosphere and I would come straight back when next in Edinburgh

Cosy, friendly bar staff and nice varied bunch of patrons.

Proper old style pub . Doesn’t serve cooked meals only sandwiches and rolls but is worth a visit for atmosphere alone . Cosy and a lively real fire .

What a cool find! Kays Bar is a lovely small and cosy place, with really friendly service (Andrew could not have been more welcoming).

My goodness, this is perfection. Of the many, the best.

A warm happy place with good beers on tap!

Really nice pub with good beers, the food's basic but good.

What a lovely neighborhood bar! So cozy and excellent vibes. Went there three times during our week long stay

Cosy place with an open fire and around 4 real ales on cask

Hidden gem in a very posh part of town. Real pieces of history everywhere and such a nostalgic feel.

È un locale stupendo accogliente e famigliare con ersonale cordiale. Ha a disposizione una vasta scelta di bevande e birra a volonta. Se entri una volta non vorresti andare più via.

Loved this tiny pub. Stacked with great atmosphere and good beer. A real find tucked away on the back streets.

One of the best Guinness in Edinburgh

Timeless. A very small establishment serving excellent beer to a very happy client base. Everyone is extremely good natured as you can be very packed in.

Doesn’t get any better. Proper pub with history, great staff (Andrew). No actual point in going to Edinburgh unless you stop here for a pint and something to eat. A hidden jewel

Best real ale bar in town and possibly Scotland

The most authentic, evocative and high quality bar in Edinburgh - hands down.

What a fantastic local full of atmosphere & an all round good vibe, Great bar staff to, A must when you visit Edinburgh..👍

Absolutely phenomenal wee pub! Will be back again.

If u would like to wait at the bar and have the bartenders look at you but then completely walk away and take the locals orders- then this place is for u! Typical “locals only” spot and if you aren’t one good luck getting served and getting friendly hellos

Fantastic bar! If I lived in the area I’d be in all the time. Friendly staff and great cask ale.

Undrbart ställe. Väl värt en promenad hit. Stället är litet så kom hit när det är lite folk. Fredagkväll borde undvikas.

The most incredible wee pub - as in proper pub - I’ve ever seen. The fire place is the cherry on top. Nae tourists, no highland coos, no overpriced shortbread, just a proper tiny pub for friendly locals, with great staff and a lovely selection of reasonably priced cask and keg ales. Need to bring back the shrink wrapped ham and cheese n pickle bar rolls. Outstanding place that deserves every penny.

Ham cob and a pint or two in another quality Edinburgh pub.

Old old pub. For me it's really uncomfortable place, because there was dirty

Wonderful little gem tucked away on a hidden street in the middle of new town. Really nice staff and cozy pub, we had a great time here! My new favorite pub in Edinburgh.

It's a locals pub with flare and atmosphere! Not big just right. Great selection of scotch's.

Nice cozy bar, really great scotch selection

Nice local pub. Specializes in cask ale.

Quaint little bar with a lot of atmosphere. We stayed nearby for a few days, so popped in a few times for a few drinks. Loved it every time! Great place for a drink before heading out... Or for a little nightcap while heading home.

Absolutely brilliant and a must visit whenever in Edinburgh - lovely and friendly atmosphere.

Great local bar. Worth a visit.

Cosy bar with coal fires, good beer and good cider! Highly recommend if you’re looking for that local feel.

The very best vibes of Edinburgh. Thankful to be brought here by my local Edinburgh family. Otherwise, I'd have never found this treasure! Find it! Great staff, great ambiance!

What a great pub. Definitely worth looking for and going to.

Nice place to have a beer, Wiskey and a chat with your friends.

Historic, cosy and atmospheric pub with friendly staff. An Edinburgh institution.

First visit a few weeks ago. Homely and very friendly wee pub with a great selection of ales.

What a great and comfortable bar

A classic but not a cheap experience. Understandable considering area located. Deffo worth a short walk out of the centre to friendly local bar

Lovely old building and a vdry cosy bar. The only issue gets a better Vodka brand only one and it was the cheapest you can get in Scotland

Tiny and lovely. Will come back.

A great bar to visit in the New Town. Good selection of ales (Jarl, Landlord, Orkney) and I would say the best kept and poured Guinness in town. Small but decent food menu and great baps or rolls at the bar (ham, Brie, corned beef). Some great old pics on the walls of the local area but this is a pub for today - warm, friendly and very easy to invest 2-3 hours here. It won’t be time wasted.

Cozy little pub, which is primarily visited by locals. Definitely worthwhile visiting when you are nearby!

Cosy and a great pint of Landlord

I have been meaning to try this pub for years when I was working nearby and it was closed due to Covid, so I made an effort to do so over Easter and I wasn't disappointed. It was like stepping back in time in the nicest of ways. A quaint, clean pub with well-kept ales, a real coal fire, fresh sandwiches, dog friendly with a selection of newspapers to read. This is clearly a popular local pub in a wealthy enclave of Edinburgh with prices to match. You can expect to pay £5.60 for a pint of real ale and £7 for Beavertown lager. This pub has been crowned by CAMRA for its ales and is worth seeking out if you want to enjoy a quiet drink in quaint surroundings with friendly locals. Highly recommended.

Great bar but bring your chequebook.

Great wee bar that I hadn't been in for years

Nice atmosphere, nice people and good beer selection

O-Kay bar I guess lol #wineoclock

Lovely bar with a relaxed feel. Will go again.

Best pint of Guinness I’ve ever had

A quirky little bar tucked away in a back street of Edinburgh's New Town. Not much space. Good range of craft ales on tap. Great for an evening of chat .

Really lovely little bar. Best citra I've had in a long time! Friendly, chilled, warm. What more do you want on a February afternoon?

Nice Beer , small bar but perfectly formed. Friendly staff .

Best kept ale in town...if you know you know!

What a cracking pint of Guinness. Most definitely one of the best pulled pints of Guinness I have had. "and I have had a few"

Este pub escocés ofrece una amplia variedad de cervezas frías y de calidad. La decoración es auténtica y refleja el ambiente local de Edimburgo. El ambiente es acogedor y perfecto para disfrutar de una buena cerveza en compañía de amigos y familiares. Sin duda, es un lugar digno de visitar en la ciudad.

Terrible tourists should avoid.... No, in truth this is a fantastic pub a true Edinburgh drinking spot. Slightly off the beaten track but worth going out the way for. It's a place to settle into for an evening with friends and get chatting.

Classic hidden away gem. Always a warm welcome.

Great traditional local pub, worth a visit!!!

Everything you would like or want in a Local

Good service and great selection of beers

Kay's Bar is the best ♥️ A dog by the fireplace is always a good thing !

Nice local with a bunch of nice staff. Not been too busy on the weekdays, great to pop in.

Like stepping back in time. This was very cute.

Great welcome by staff and regulars, fine choice of gins whiskies and cask ales.

Lovely cosy, traditional pub with friendly staff and a good range of beers. 👍

Great pub! Friendly staff, busy place with a lovely warm atmosphere.

Cozy, adorable dogs, nice bartender. A+

Small pub off the beaten track. Fine selection of beers and cosy atmosphere. Staff are friendly with quick service. Interior is traditional with a fire for those chilly winter nights.

Favorite bar in Edinburgh. Local vibes. Very cozy place. No frills, just all class Worth traveling to from different parts of Edinburgh

Great little bar tucked away in the back streets in Edinburgh. Lovely staff. Gluten free beer on tap & in cans.
