The Last Drop in Edinburgh, City of

Es war perfekt!! Das Essen,das lokale Bier, die Location und der gute Service. Danke viel mals Laura 😊 Wir kommen gerne wieder!!

Molly es impresionante, así es el lugar! La cerveza es buena y la comida también. Un lugar histórico con música en vivo y buena gente. ¡Volveremos!

Pub caratteristico molto affollato, la musica dal vivo era molto gradevole. Disponili anche diversi piatti e birra locale.

Fun historic pub experience. Good beer, friendly bartenders, and cozy atmosphere made it well worth the visit. Solid choice

Laura & Charlie were awesome! Highly recommend!!

Child friendly for lunch, but turn up by 12pm or it fills up quickly. Service by Laura was 5* (despite unruly kids)

The food is little or not processed. I ordered the chicken which was dry, the vegetables almost raw. No need to worry about tipping, additional service charges are added to the final bill (10%). The setting, on the other hand, is very nice and everything fits the theme quite well.

Historic place and excellent haggis

Laura and Amber have been super friendly and professional. Good food, good price and good music

Fun historic pub experience. Good beer, friendly bartenders and cozy atmosphere made it well worth the visit.

Typical British pub, excellent food, friendly and helpful staff. The history behind this place is fascinating and sitting down to think about the last sip of those condemned to the gallows just a few meters away gives you shivers... Edinburgh, a mysterious and fascinating city! Pop into this pub if you're in the area!!! 🔝

Local Edinburgh historian. Our pub favorite for a beer with friends surrounded by the history and charm of times gone by. Beautiful.

The security guard who is outside, is the most rudest person ever. He asked for ID, and apparently he told us that under 25 cannot drink alcohol but in reality the minimum age is 18. He actually didn’t want us to enter and spend family time. I showed him an virtual ID and he even didn’t want to look at it, meanwhile in other places they accepted it. He hasn’t been professional.

Für einen Drink ok. Essen mäßig, insbesondere die Nachos völlig geschmacklos. Angeblich Hygiene-rating 5 von 5, auch die sanitären Einrichtungen. Ich glaube 1 ist das beste. Aber ich habe lediglich 2 von 6 Pubs erlebt, wo die Toiletten nicht ekelig waren

We stopped here while walking through Grassmarket. This pub has a lot of history and amazing atmosphere.

Very good experience in this pub, we recommend

Great place, very historic. Food was great, I had haggis, was lovely but not for people who want to try haggis for a first time. Typical Scottish dessert was absolutely amazing!

The beer and the venue are top five stars. Don't pay for their dessert called Cranachan, I eat all kinds of desserts, it has a terrible taste, I didn't like it at all. Let's talk about the service quality. There is only one employee who works in service and order delivery. He neither knows how to take orders nor how to talk. The man in front of me couldn't pay 4 times and he left and I waited. Then it was my turn, he asked for my table number, I showed him with my hand. He insisted on the table number, and I had talked to him while I was at the table, so he already knew the table number, let's say he forgot, he asks me even though I showed him with my hand, don't you know the number, you persistently ask me for the number. I looked sideways and saw the number. It says, "Your turn is over." While I was waiting, the man in front of me didn't have his turn. I waited for the people after me and this time it was my turn to order again and he said the food order was finished. There is an employee who is really uncommunicative, rude and does not know business ethics. I hope you do not come across that employee. Apart from that, the ambiance and the taste of the beers were very nice. However, current employees need to be trained in courtesy and communication.

Cool to sit outside or inside here. The waiters are all super nice. The food and drinks are very good and everything happens really quickly.

The Balmoral chicken was delicious!!!

Excellent Pub, full of history about the executions of the medieval era, very iconic in Edinburgh, not to be missed.

We, a family of four, ordered three bacon cheeseburgers (£17 each) and a kids' burger for £5.50. Aside from the extra salsa and the slice of bacon, we couldn't tell the difference between our burgers and our son's. Furthermore, the kids' burger was served with thick fries, while the bacon cheeseburger came with thin fries. The service was terrible: we received our food without cutlery and had to ask for it. When we asked for mayonnaise, an empty bottle was brought to our table. When we wanted to order drinks for ourselves and our 17-year-old son [3 ciders], we were asked for our son's ID. When I told him he was 17 and explained to the waiter that in Germany, you can have a beer with your meal in the company of your parents, he laughed mockingly and said, "But not here." Finally, I politely asked him if he could show me the way to the line 11 stop. He: I don't know, I'm not going there. I looked at him, confused, and said, "Okay, thank you," and started to turn away. He probably realized that this was extremely unfriendly to a paying tourist and started to explain the way to me. Men's restroom: very dirty and run-down, dirty trough instead of a urinal. Conclusion: Nice location, everything else is terrible.

Atmosphere was pleasant and the drinks were good. It felt like a place that was taking advantage of its location a little too far however

Very bad experience. Menu without prices. The girl, who did not understand, brought us what she wanted and charged poorly, there was no way to make her understand.

Great place, cool atmosphere. I recommend Guinness

A charming place with history, we were lucky to have live music.

Great ambience, place steeped in history.

Tamara was great! Very helpful and nice.

Tamara was really nice. The place is great.

Amazing location, amazing place, very good food and the service was just so quick! Love it!

So expensiveand dirty but great location

Nice pub, don't sit too close to the men's toilets!

Welcoming old historical pub in the Grassmarket area of Edinburgh. Old quaint and comfortable with historic features to read and view about the history of Burke and hare. Good menu and bookable seating available. Outside seating also

Great pub! If you want to visit here in the evening be early, we tried to go 3 times and it was so full! But it is definitely worth it. Great food and good beers. We tried the Balmoral chicken and it tasted so good! The customer service was great and the pub is very cozy!

If you're walking through Grassmarket, it's worth stopping by this pub, which is well-known for its historical significance. The indoor space is quite small and tends to get very busy, so it might be difficult to find a table without a reservation. I can't comment on the food, as I only went for drinks in the late afternoon, but they offer an excellent variety of beers and spirits.

The food was delicious and every one was very nice. I loved the atmosphere in the restaurant.

Friendly and quick service. Great atmosphere. Would recommend.

Phil was the best! Outstanding experience in an excellent pub. Highly recommend

Fantastic bar, food was okay but we only ordered bar food. It gets full quick so if you want a table might be an idea to book if you can

Haggis, neeps, and tatties were excellent. It's a great place in the Grass Market to grab a pint.

Molly was the best she loves the Americans.

Excellent pub experience, great food, great service, and awesome old school pub atmosphere.... give it a try, you won't be disappointed.....

We ate at The Last Drop on our last day in Edinburgh, just to visit at least one well-known and touristy restaurant. Well we were not disappointed! The location and the history of the place add a plus, the decor is original, well in keeping with the theme of the place haha. Fast, friendly service and first Haggis for me! Very good and generous portion. That evening, there was also a small group playing music which gave this very pleasant pub feel! I recommend and I would come back! PS: the prices are pleasantly affordable for such a touristy place!

Wow, wow, wow Food was absolutely amazing, drinks were great and our server "Maud" was totally fantastic. Really looked after my wife and I. I definitely advise if you are in Edinburgh to visit this awesome establishment.

Very nice pub, the food is very good and the staff is very friendly and attentive! I would return without a doubt

Live music, friendly staff, awesome atmosphere, affordable prices.

Good beer. Very helpful staff. Well kept beer

We ordered a 3-piece fry plate with beer, I think it was about 18 pounds. The environment is pleasant. I tried Extra Cranachan, it was 7 pounds there, while it was 8 in other places, but although I like such desserts, it was too oily for me.

We popped in here for a rest and drinks during a visit to Edinburgh. We had planned to return for dinner (based on reading reviews) but after our visit for drinks, we were put off and didn't come back. My husband ordered two soft drinks for us (it was mid afternoon and we just wanted refreshment, not alcohol) and the member of bar staff instantly asked, rather abruptly "they're not for under 18s are they?" We are far from 18 and had no children with us. He said she seemed very "off" and borderline reluctant to serve the soft drinks. Very strange. In addition, the pub didn't really have much of an atmosphere. It felt like a basic chain pub. The history around it is interesting but otherwise not really worth visiting. The food looked average too - we found far better places.

Great music and great Guinness.

Great pub with lots of history. Service was good and the food was great! Also very reasonably priced for the city center. Would definitely go back!

Tamara was amazing and super helpful with accommodating my gluten free allergy. Loved the food and vibe of the place!

We ate well, the dishes were good without being exceptional. Fast service, to do if you are in a hurry.

Great atmosphere, can't go wrong here for a few drinks

Laura & Maude were genuinely fantastic, thanks:)

The Last Drop was our 14th stop in a tour of over 17 pubs around Edinburgh. Here we had Nicholsons Pale Ale as part of the Beer and Burger offering. True to its name, inside we found a noose and several paintings depicting capital punishment from earlier centuries. Reportedly, this is close to where hangings took place under the shadow of nearby Edinburgh castle.

Food was great and mason was super lovely

Very fair There are better options in the city The plates are a little loose

We came here for a little break of touristy activities. Very good choice. Superfriendly service, delicious beer and the interesting knick knacks and atmosphere made it a plovely time. First drop is a must see spot on Grassmarket

Even though it is a tourist area it remains a very typical pub. We were on a very busy Saturday but they were very courteous, finding us a table and serving us in a very short time. Friendly staff, great food and top beer! To be recommended

Really good food, friendly staff & a great atmosphere!

Great food great place great times. Laura and Maude were fantastic servers !

At first I thought the name meant good to the last drop. But I was very wrong. Once inside this pub is very nice. The staff are super friend and look after you very well. You will find there is a story here and you must read it. You will find out why it is the last drop.

We were in this pub over the Christmas Holiday, 2024, and we absolutely loved the pub, the showcasing of history and place, with a super friendly staff. We are from Denver, Colorado, and will absolutely be back to THE LAST DROP.

We heard a band playing live Irish music inside, so wandered in despite planning to go somewhere else. It was cramped and packed with people, so we weren't sure we would get a table, but managed to grab one just before they closed the kitchen and ordered! Great food, friendly service, and fantastic music. The musos just sat around a table and played whatever they felt like, with a few gaps as they taught each other the basic chord progressions before playing.

Such a great pub with a friendly team and great cocktails at a reasonable price!

Would have gladly paid a few Bob more for a meal that actually had flavour. Instead learned this was a tourist trap. Skink had exactly one piece of fish and was underseasoned. At least the rest of the food was hot. The cask ales were good so would recommend for a beer but that's it.

This pub is an absolutely amazing place to go to when you’re visiting Edinburgh. It’s an amazing spot to end your day, The staff is phenomenal and we would like to thank Max specifically, he creates a welcoming atmosphere and makes the place feel like you’re coming home.

So much history this pub holds... Friendly staff.. Loads of malt whisky to try and so much information to read on the pub walls.. Amazing atmosphere at reasonable prices..

I visited Edinburgh for holidays. And "the last drop" was amazing. Everything perfect 👌🏻. Laura was very polite and cute! Its a nice place to visit again. 😀👍🏻

Great story, great food and excellent service, thank you Lily

Beautiful place with amazing workers. The food was so good it’s criminal. Best haggis in town. 10/10 would go back again.

Historic pub near the castle. We had food and were asked about allergies as soon as we sat down which was really helpful and made me feel less awkward about having to ask about the menu. The food was hot, really tasty and a good sized portion. The pub is not huge and gets busy so may have to be a little patient to get a seat.

Had a great meal at the Last Drop and the service was great. Our server Molly was fantastic. We just visited on Jan 11.

Delicious food and great service in a charming pub. Highly recommended!

Spent here few hours while my daughter was in a concert nearby, nice place with excellent service, good food, there was 80 & 90s music playing at the right level to enjoy the music and still be able to have a conversation, staff was very friendly

Cosy little pub located in Great areas with great service

Food was nice. Nice small Scottish pub, nothing too special but cozy with drinks. Waitor was polite.

Lily was the best waitress in Edinburgh, she is really sweet and nice. Lily is the best waitress in Edinburgh, very sweet and a genius at serving us! We recommend eating here!

I had a wonderful experience at the restaurant. The waitstaff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making the atmosphere even more enjoyable. The food was delicious, and the location is fantastic, adding to the overall charm of the place.

Overall good, but was hard to fully enjoyed as the place has no heating and in the middle of January was hard to enjoy myself

Very nice place with tasty food. Molly was lovely and hope she enjoys the free drink.

I came for breakfast, and it was amazing. Thank you, Mally, for providing excellent service.

A place with history. Once a pub for convicts, where they could drink their last beer before execution.

Gorgeous pub . Amazing food it was nice and fresh . Our server Lilly was on point and lovely . Great atmosphere

Our first stop when we arrived in Edinburgh. Classic haggis, neeps and tatties was declicious and absolutely worth stopping by to try. Big shout out to Adam for the great service!

Scottish food in a privileged location in Edinburgh's Old Town. Cozy and quiet on GrossMarket Square. They do not serve you at the table but you must go to the bar, order, confirm and pay. They serve you tap water, which is excellent in the city, if you don't want alcohol. Quick to serve. Kind. Acceptable prices. Delicious food.

We had an incredible dining experience at The Last Drop! From the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable, thanks to our fabulous waitress, Lily, who was attentive, friendly, and made our visit extra special. Our son loved his perfectly cooked hamburger, and we were blown away by the sticky chicken with sweet chili sauce—it was bursting with flavor! My husband enjoyed the Balmoral chicken, which featured roasted chicken breast and haggis wrapped in smoked back bacon with a whisky sauce. It was paired beautifully with buttery mash, long-stem broccoli, and carrots. For dessert, we stepped out of our comfort zone and tried the Cranachan. It was a delightful and unique treat—when in Scotland, you’ve got to embrace the local flavors! We highly recommend The Last Drop for its amazing food, warm service, and authentic Scottish vibe. We’ll definitely be back!

Had a drink, unfortunately didn't order anything to eat. But definitely good too. Nice quaint pub! Gladly again!

i am not a meat person, but the haggis and chicken i had here were very enjoyable. i highly suggest!

very nice place. see the story behind...

Typical food in a typical place. High quality! Often very crowded and disorganized. You order at the counter.

Typical restaurant in the center of Edinburgh, with excellent food and effective service. Max in particular was really kind and served us with care and attention. Advised!

Typical Scottish pub in the center of Edinburgh, very friendly Max and live Scottish music.

Pub with incredible atmosphere, friendly staff and impeccable service. Thanks especially to Max who was kind and super helpful, highly recommended!

We ate very well. The restaurant is cozy.

Stunning little pub , cosy and so friendly. Staff were amazing and I had possibly the greatest most tastiest Haggis neeps and tatties I've ever tasted.

Had the best night here listening to Scottish instruments! Must visit!

Traditional pub with an interesting history. Great location in the Grassmarket area right off the Royal Mile. Our food was traditional and yummy. And our server, Tamara, was attentive and lovely.

Great cozy vibes. Max offered amazing service and went above and beyond to provide suggestions and make sure we always had what we needed. Thank you Max!!
