The Last Drop in Edinburgh, City of

I got served by Molly, the haggis was great!

A must-see in Edinburgh... Great people, a fascinating ambience and a brilliant location.. We didn't eat anything here, but looked at the plates with envy ;-)

The Last Drop was incredible. Good food, mulled wine, historic location. And Laura was lovely and so helpful.

I only had one beer so I can't rate the food.

Tamara was out waitress and she did a phenomenal job. Our Balmoral chicken was delicious and we will definitely be back next time we're in town!

Honestly, we had a wonderful time. Tamara was so kind and the atmosphere is relaxed and enjoyable. The food was great! Tamara recommended the Balmoral Chicken and I seconded her recommendation!

Food and drinks were both amazing, and so was the service. Thank you, Tamara🍻

Stopped here for Cullen Skink and a Hot Toddy and it was amazing. Tamara was lovely and made sure everything was okay. Would come back for sure.

Ordered a pint and a double jamesons whiskey. Was given the card machine upside down, no mention of any cost. Later found out it cost £15.95 Rather expensive i think? Won’t be rushing back.

My partner and I had a great time at the last drop after seeing a gig close by. Blake, Molly and Phil were absolutely fantastic!!

We ended up here one night as my son picked the location this time. He just wanted something to drink and a quick meal. Like most pubs, order at the bar and pay at the same time. They even did a solid for allowing us a second Sticky Finger even though the kitchen was closed. Very friendly staff and enjoyed reading the wall stories. We had a couple drinks each (Stewart’s 80 [cask] and Henry Weston Cider). For snacks, I just got Loaded Chunky Chips. He got Sticky Chicken [got this twice as it stayed a while] and Classic Cheese & Bacon Burger. Everything was delicious and filling. Was a nice way to end the day / night. Just be aware they have hangman nooses for decorations as it is part of the atmosphere. I know this maybe a trigger for some people, but remember this is Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 and this reflects the history of this location.

Food was rather mediocre. My cullen skink was disappointing as there was only potato and hardly any haddock in it. So bad compared to other Scottish pub i've tried in Edinburgh.

Cozy place, great staff and tasty traditional dishes.

Cozy little stop for food and drinks. Very lively and perfect place to try some authentic Scottish dishes.

Great, very old restaurant in Edinburgh. Lots of tourists.

Visited on a busy Wednesday night for drinks. Friendly welcoming staff. Great atmosphere, worth a visit :)

Love that the server ask about allergies and they find alternatives for me so I can enjoy some of the classic Scottish dishes too. Way too many people, but it's to be expected on Grassmarket.

They service and food were fantastic, unfortunately it is always too busy, we had to wait almost 1 hour a table, but its something out of control, because the space is small and very popular

Thank you Molly for the friendly and speedy dinner service, we had a great meal :)

Very cozy bar, very attentive waiters, especially Molly. Very good food

the dishes were delicious and very copious, we had a great time, the waiters who served us were very pleasant (especially molly who explained the different specialties and how to eat them), a very good place to spend a good time.

The waitress was Molly and she was kind and amazing

This is one of several haunted pubs in Edinburgh so be on the lookout for a little girl who may actually be the poltergeist! Even if you're not a fan of ghosts it's a cool pub to visit if you happen to be in the Grassmarket area. My wife and I stopped in for some drinks in-between activities and found it a nice, atmospheric place to wet our whistles.

Loved reading the history and origins, however bar tenders were too poshy and drinks were not well made. Vibe just seemed a bit stuffy.

It's super busy here, the staff are quite direct. Food is OK nothing amazing

Just went for drinks - nice old battered proper pub - the way you want it

Delicious schnitzel and wonderful service. It’s very cute inside and I would recommend

Delicious food, excellent beer, and friendly staff

Laura our server was personable and a pleasant. She is a great individual and a great representative for The Last Drop. Thanks, Randy

Very nice pub. The service was polite and attentive. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was fantastic. I recommend it.

The food was the poorest we've ever eaten and the most expensive. Burger £18 (elsewhere £14), beer £7.50 (other pubs £5). Typically a tourist place, I recommend going somewhere else.

Louise made sure we had a 5 star experience by treating us like friends.🧡 We had the balmoral chicken and schnitzel. Very good haggis as well! Chicken was on the drier side, but the rest made up for it. Splendid whisky sauce 😋 All this at very reasonable prices

Place mainly for tourists, very high prices, small portions. Prices do not always match the menu, or prices are not indicated on the menu. Food average. They add a 10% tip in advance.

Besides being on a historic site, this pub has nothing. The person behind the bar is not really pleasant but above all the food is really mediocre. No background music, no ambiance, just a TV on some random channel. Just like some other comments, I don't understand the (over)ratings.

Excellent atmosphere and food. We ordered all 3 entrees and they were very very good. Laura took great care of us! super recommended

Totally awesome place to visit and has some great beers and wines

All round great experience. Food was superb, service was incredible. Blake, our server, was extremely friendly, helpful and accomodating. We had a few people in our party that had allergies and he walked them through the menu in depth letting them know what to avoid and what would be suitable. Highly recommend. Lots of history to learn about the place as well which was fun bonus.

One of the most typical pubs in Edinburgh and a must-see for a good pint.

3 for £18 bar snacks was perfect for two of us to split as a meal. Great service from Tamara.

Continuing ticking the Scottish food list, we headed to The Last Drop for Smoked Salmon and Oatcakes, and Cranachan. It's a small and busy touristy pub. We ordered at the bar and the food came swiftly. Smoked Salmon and Oatcakes were ok. The Cranachan was something we weren't sure about. It was simply spoonfuls and mouthfuls of pure whipped cream. Not much flavour or texture to it; not from the raspberry, the honey, the toasted oat, or the dash of whisky. It left us having this greasy aftertaste. After all, the pub has its own charm and atmosphere. Good place to have a pint or two and some food, but not the dessert!

Tamara was a great host amazing service highly recommend. Price is great and it is really close to the castle so overall recommend.

Ottima cena in questo storico locale...attira i clienti con la loro macabra storia ed un volta entrati si rimane piacevolmente sorpresi dalla tipica atmosfera che si respira... Personale gentile...e cucina buona! Consigliato andare presto o se possibile prenotare... Consigliato!

It's a good pub. You have to wait and line up to get a table in case it's busy. The staff's attention is good. The food is good although the prices are a bit high by the standards of a good pub. You can have a nice time chatting because the noise is not too much.

The best part of our trip was the afternoon we spent at the Last Drop and our server, Laura, was just terrific! The wine, beer, and food were excellent and the Sticky Toffee Pudding was delicious. The history of the Last Drop is interesting so be sure to check it out. The music was a welcome surprise. We felt the true Scottish experience here and would highly recommend you stop by.

I don’t know what was better balmoral chicken or the service of Blake or the whiskey he recommended.

Good atmosphere, place full of history.

Fantastic service but the atmosphere and the food really let it down. Still haven't seen a good Scottish pub sadly and this is the same as the others. If you have a tourist location and jack the prices up, show us some Scottish flavour and music atleast. Also with a small menu the food is normally fantastic, burger burnt and I literally could have made better at home sadly. Where the last drop does well is the service. Young fella served us very very well and was awesome for knowledge. I was served a cracked glass and soon as I mentioned he was on a mission, so very Thankful for that.

Great pub in Grassmarket! Amazing gluten free option for beer (Hollyrood). Food was good and Adam and Jack were fantastic! Good service, solid food and a nice ambience! Will be back!

Zentral gelegen, gut geeignet nach dem Sightseeing, Haggis mit leckerer Soße, nettes Personal, unkomplizierte Zahlung mit Apple Watch an der Bar.

This is the place for all you first time Haggis eaters. I high recommend to try. You won’t be disappointed. I had the pleasure of being served by Jack and he encouraged me to try it. He was right it was delicious. I finished the whole thing. If you’re coming to Scotland it’s a must.

Really enjoyed lunch at this location on Oct 18th with Mike our server. Good beer selection and food options, I enjoyed the Balmoral chicken and my friends enjoyed the falafel burger. The sticky toffee pudding was very good. And the ambiance had spooky flair but was cozy. Would recommend!

My first time in Edinburgh, I was excited to try this pub. However, when I went to order food and drinks, the woman at the bar was incredibly rude about needing a table number. I understand the process, but her tone and attitude were unnecessarily harsh. It completely turned me off, and I ended up walking out without ordering anything. Disappointing experience.

The location and history of this place are certainly fascinating, we could work a little more on welcoming and managing customers

Perfect spot for lunch. Our server, Laura, was great!

The Last Drop is a charming spot with a cozy, quaint atmosphere that immediately makes you feel at home. The decor is warm and inviting, perfect for a relaxed night out. What really made our visit stand out, though, was the exceptional service. The staff is incredibly friendly, but a special shoutout goes to Kyle, who went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. He not only ensured we were well taken care of but also gave us some fantastic recommendations for other bars in the area. His local tips really enhanced our night. We'll definitely be back!

I really enjoyed the visit. The food was awesome. The best chicken burger I've ever eaten. Kyle, our server was very friendly and accommodating. All in all the visit deserves 5/5 stars.

Good food and service! Our kids loved the buttermilk chicken burger! The haggis was also good.

Ordered two hot toddies, which aren’t on the menu, Adam able to accept our order; kitchen created two piping hot drinks to ward off the autumn chill. Warm way to start a meal.

Great place, incredible atmosphere. Adam was our waiter and he was very gentle. I truly recommend this place

Came in yesterday and Phil was a delight, recommended some other good spots around the city to visit too.

Had a great dinner with live Scottish music and great service from Kyle and Phil. Thank you

Phillip and Kyle were so great and lovely. Very friendly personal and nice drinks and foods. Thank You!

Best meal I had in a long time! A warm and cozy ambiance with good people!

Great food and culture! The place was packed but we snagged a table. Propper pub food.

I was just looking for a place to have a quick beer, but things turned out differently than expected. The staff was super friendly, but what really made my evening were the other guests. Barely five minutes in, I was invited by a group to join their table. The people were incredibly friendly, and the atmosphere was fantastic. I can only recommend it to anyone in Edinburgh looking for adventure and new friends. The food and beer were also very good.

Lia and Jack were brilliant behind the bar! Highly recommended!

Bartender seemed to hate all her customers but the food was amazing and the atmosphere was fun!

We were on a city trip to Edinburgh in September. Very rustic eatery, a friend's recommendation to go there was spot on. Food good, beer cold - gladly again next time! Many greetings to Silas, you served us well!

Very well located. It is a picturesque place with history. The food is ordinary. Very short menu and very expensive price.

Very good pub with great snacks. Definitely worth a visit.

A good old boozer with some history and at the time given the crowds outside, surprisingly not too busy.

Where am I? The story about this beautiful pub is fantastic. Food was heavenly Service and staff very friendly and e

First experience in a Scottish pub in Edinburgh. Located in a very tourist area, it maintains its authenticity, in fact it is very characteristic with a gloomy history behind it, good simple and local dishes. I recommend sitting inside. Friendly and attentive service, average prices. Ideal for a quick lunch while visiting the city or for a beer with friends.

In this legendary bar, full of history and to close our tour of this beautiful city, a very delicious beer!!!!!

In the Grassmarket, the square where The Last Drop is located, prisoners who committed the most serious crimes were punished in the past. The prisoners' last wishes for food, Scotch or Scotch Ale were supplied from the pubs in this square. One of these pubs is The Last Drop. The atmosphere, the music was very good, it was just a little crowded

Great place. Friendly service, nice music and good food!

Popular spot for drinks and music. I did not eat but the food looked good

Good food and a cosy atmosphere. Recommend a visit!

The person inside the bar was a little unfriendly although the 'hot-toddy' was spectacular

Met wonderful people there. Great pints

We loved it because it is very old and has historical significance.

My wife and I were in The Last Drop while on our honeymoon in Edinburgh, and we had a great time! We'd been to a few pubs in the city before, but The Last Drop was definitely the highlight. Our server was Laura, and she was extremely competent and friendly, and it was a pleasure to watch the entire team work. My wife and and I have around 50 years food service experience between the 2 of us, so we really appreciate it when we see those who know their trade well. The food was hearty and delicious and very reasonably priced. It came quickly and the portions are very satisfying. Thanks for the unforgettable experience!

We were told about The Last Drop by a guide and had to go check in out just based off the description and the story about how it got its name. It was definitely a memorable place and as with so many other places in Edinburgh gave us much to talk about.

Nice place, but beware of the hidden 10% service fee!

The food was absolutely amazing and we had wonderful service. Blake was really helpful and made the lunch tops. The beer with a lemonade top was bloody awesome too!

lovely atmosphere, served by Lia, had a great time

Great evening with delicious food, live music and great service from Adam.

A little disappointed by the food and the atmosphere. The huggies... For those who like them... The vegetable soup wasn't very good either. And the dessert is horrible, sour cream without sugar, it's like it has gone bad, horrible. The only thing that saves it is the Cullen Skink, and even so, I have tried it better in other places. On top of that, there was no one in the place at noon (1:00 p.m.), no music, no atmosphere..., nothing.

What a wonderful real Scottish place to have a pint and some good food. We will be back the next time we visit Edinburgh. Thanks Adam!

They are very kind and attentive. We ordered nachos, beer and they recommended some whiskey. At night they play live music. Investigate the history of the name.

Wonderful evening. Delicious food, great service from Adam and lovely whisky recommendations. Not to mention the live music. Great atmosphere. Don’t miss it!

Very classic Scottish pub! The food was alright, classic pub fare. The halloumi was delicious though and great gin cocktails! Adam was an amazing server, very attentive and kind! Great live music as well.

Amazing place tried haggis for the first time! It was absolutely delicious!

Really enjoyed our visit to The Last Drop! Real traditional food. Was surprised to be served by a fellow Aussie! Blake recommended the crofters pie, washed that down with a few pints. The pub has a super cosy atmosphere and we cannot wait to go back again!

Had a great couple of nights in the Last drop bar in Edinburgh and the food and atmosphere were amazing ! Blake served us and he was very helpful and informative. Will definitely return on our next visit

Everything was delicious, thank you Adam.

Everything was soooo good! Thank you Adam!

Everything was sooo good. Thank u, Adam.

This is an absolute GEM of a pub. Great pub food and brilliant atmosphere. Service is fabulous. Thank you for a lovely evening.

No reservations required, the room has limited seats inside, there are some seats outside. Typical Scottish menu with good dishes. Definitely tried better but it's worth going there
