The Last Drop in Edinburgh, City of

Just sitting having a cool drink in the sun. Service was very good and friendly.

Visited as part of a Treasure Hunt. Plenty of seating inside and out

Brilliant wee place Ryan and charlie were fab!

A pub located in Grassmarket with a great terrace for sunny days, a variety of beers, and good food.

Gosh what a little hidden gem! Phillip was absolutely incredible! He was hosting, serving, food running, bussing and bartending all at the same time. He provided incredible service and the food was out in a timely manner and delicious! I recommend the loaded chips were absolutely delicious! I loved this place and would love to come back.

The atmosphere is simply amazing. It felt very authentic to me with the fantastic live music; we could have sat there for hours. Yes, they serve food, but that plays a secondary role. It tastes good and it's okay. The service is rather okay. We sat outside for a long time and asked for tickets several times, until after the third time we asked, they explained that the only way to get in at our seat was via a QR code. Which isn't a bad thing, because it went really quickly, but it would have saved us the initial wait. Nevertheless, I would go back again and again because of the atmosphere and the music.

Nice pub right on the mall. They have lots of outdoor seating when it's warm. We sat inside. The service was a tad chaotic. The staff would get sidetracked with the never ending line of new patrons, which is understandable. The food was great, the beer selection was excellent. Highly recommend the burgers, Hollyrood Pale Ale, and Stewart's 80/-.

Popped in for drinks Did not appreciate the attitude of the woman behind bar no pleasantries or smiles She did not seem happy at her work

The lady who greeted us was very kind and very cheerful. We sat down, and... that was it. Sister Smile arrived, and clearly, we were disturbing her afternoon work. She certainly preferred an empty bar. Given the price of beer, we would have expected the smile to be free.

Nice historic local pub. Don have much experience in Edinburgh pubs, this one was the first, but generally speaking it was good. There is wide range of beers, including a few local cask ales, pub food selection with plenty of options for Scottish dishes.

May 2025. Served by Phil. Everything was perfect! Thank you!

Drunk it all till the last drop.

Elliott, Lia, Charlie, and Molly were really friendly and made my time at last drop an enjoyable experience.

Elliott provided wonderful service and conversation, stopped by for a drink and was given some wonderful recommendations for the city.

Had the Balmoral Chicken at The Last Drop and it absolutely hit the spot. Perfectly cooked, juicy chicken breast wrapped in smoky bacon, with a rich whisky cream sauce that tied everything together beautifully. The haggis filling added that classic Scottish kick without overpowering the dish. Props to Chef Mason – clearly knows how to balance flavour and presentation. One of the best meals I’ve had in a while. Will definitely be back!

The steak was fantastic Chef Jam was very friendly. Recommend to friends

The waitress Molly was really nice and cool

The Last Drop has the best sticky toffee pudding that we had on our trip through Scotland! Thank you Molly for the suggestion and great service!

We only had something to drink - great and large selection, including non-alcoholic drinks. Nice ambience.

Traveling from the US and on our last day in lovely Scotland we (group of 8) chose The Last Drop for dinner. They did not disappoint! Food was great! Our server, and please excuse me if I spell her name wrong, Bonodotta, was very sweet and attentive. With a large group like ours, it is common for service to slip, but she was fantastic! Finished plates were removed quickly and even with our little mishap of a missed dish, she was calm and reassuring. She alone gets 10/10 stars. I would definitely recommend!!

Hospitality, quality and impeccable service. We had a great time in this restaurant. Bénédetta is a pleasant and caring waitress! We look forward to coming back to see you!!

Place full of history, very very good food and the waitress who served us, Benedetta, a very helpful and friendly Italian girl. Highly recommended

Nice pub that plays on a funny theme. Got the falafel burger + chicken sandwich and both were flavorful. Patio + inside seating available, and service was very fast.

A historically significant pub situated in a central area of ​​Edinburgh. The last person in Scotland was hanged outside the pub. The area is very lively and full of tourists. As a negative point, it should be noted that the Pub service does not include taxi requests.

Great place for a few drinks, had some quet live music too.

Stopped in here to check this place out because I loved the name of it and the theme, and it looked cool! It was packed inside with little room to stand anywhere. After a little while, a table opened up for us to sit down at right beside the live band that was playing! They were really good and it was so much fun to listen to them while enjoying cold beers 🍻!! We went back again the next night, and it was a different group but still live music. The place has a great ambiance/vibe to it!

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

Such a nice place to visit and dine. Tasty meals , quick and welcoming stuff. And whiskey...! Totally recommended 👌

Laura is very professional and friendly. I will recommend it😊

Lush place for a pint..live the historic decor and local knowledge points xx one of my fave pubs xx

Really disappointed with the service. The staff seemed uninterested and inattentive. I ordered a cider that turned out to be completely undrinkable—half the glass was syrup, making it far too sweet and totally flat. It tasted more like fizzy sugar water than proper cider. Won’t be returning anytime soon.

Traditional, beautiful place and excellent food!!! Benedetta served us, super polite and kind!! I highly recommend!!

Good place in the center of Edinburgh. We only had a couple of beers (a little expensive)

Great atmosphere, nice to sit outside and enjoy the sun. Live music inside, coming through the open doors from time to time 😁

What a nice place with great food, drink and atmosphere!

Popped on route to another venue. Great foe a quick drink with three other friends. ! 👍 The food looked good, but we were not eating g. Would lime ton return one day. 🥘🍛🍲🥂

One of Edinburgh's historic pubs, good food and average prices for the city. Special mention for Laura, a truly kind and knowledgeable waitress!

This is an authentic pub where you can try some local specialties. The haggis was really great and this is the place to try it. The atmosphere here is really authentic and you can get local specials. Haggis was great and for everyone trying it for the first time this is the place to do it

Deplorable and stressed service. Bad food: uncooked vegetables for my husband, lack of sauce in my burger with very small piece of bacon and bad bread. Very few fries and dose of whiskey served smaller than ordered. The waiter got a really bad look when I told him the food was disappointing, I could sense his annoyance. Fortunately the setting is pleasant, beautiful decor but clearly the establishment is counting too much on it

Nice place, with a nice atmosphere and good food! Elliott served us with sympathy and kindness, we approve and recommend!

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.

Soft and party Atmosphere , the right balance for your evening, have a drink and try some of the snacks could bring you a very happy moment inside there. Great stuff also performed by Molly Enjoy it

Really lovely place, the food was great and the live music made the experience feel very authentic. Needless to say, the service was brilliant as well, Molly went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. Absolutely recommended!

Good place to have a drink, live music (instruments that represent Scottish music) We ordered typical beer from here, smooth and very good. Legend has it that it was the tavern where those who had a death sentence were allowed to drink their last drink.

Elliott was great and the food was delicious!

This place was great. Elliott was our friendly, attentive server who added to the experience.

Thank you to Elliot for the service, it was very good!

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

Such good food. Friendly staff. Kyle was the best- great recommendations.

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

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

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

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

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!!! 🔝

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

Very good experience in this pub, we recommend

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

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.

Tamara was great! Very helpful and nice.

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

Great ambience, place steeped in history.

Tamara was really nice. The place is great.

So expensiveand dirty but great location

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

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

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.

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!

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

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.

Great music and great Guinness.

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 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.

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.
