The World's End in Edinburgh, City of

James and the team were so lovely and incredibly accommodating even with the place being so packed!

Its been forever! Someone have a steak and ale pie for me, i miss it...

Obviously a tourist hot spot but the beer is very good and the staff super friendly.

James and Blair were great! They answered questions with humor and did not take offense to our American humor!😂 We ordered the fish an chips to share and enjoyed it very much! Tried a local whiskey and it was nice. Also had a cappuccino which hit the spot on a cold February day! The bar was recommended by local tour operator, Sean, and the history behind the bar was interesting! Great experience if your in the area, stop by!!

Is a nice place to dine in and the service here is absolutely good, the waiter here serve polite

Visited with our teenage son who is 16 for a soft drink. We were refused service simply for a soft drink. Staff were unfriendly. Went to the hostelry across the road who happily served us all soft drinks.

People are amazing the pub is the best pub in Scotland and the hot chocolate is 2 die for 😁

Dreadful. Came in with my lad and as he didn't have id, refused us 2 soft drinks. As visitors from England first time to Scotland this is a disgrace. Felt like clear discrimination against English and won't be back. I like the Scots but these people give the place a bad name. Not sure what's going on in Scotland but in England kids are allowed to drink soft drinks in pubs. Staff also rude about it absolute disgrace go to pub over road much friendlier

We had dinner and drinks at the world’s end. The food was lovely and the vibe was relaxed. The staff was genuinly nice!

Really authentic pub with delicious food and kind staff

Found on Google on "bars to try" I must say that it met expectations. The place is very nice, classic pub style, how to eat we had a hamburger with chips and I must say it was really good, and as an accompaniment a good draft beer. Verdict: I recommend trying it and I will definitely go back.

Delicious food and very good beer. Very nice people from service.

Nice place with helpful staff. We tried a few whiskeys and the bartender was eager to help us. We didn't try the food so I have no opinion. I will visit again.

Historic pub with plenty of seating. Cozy pub side, great beer selection, friendly staff!

Boo. No spaces! Was really looking forward to the Mac n cheese! 😭

Our experience at The World's End was fantastic. This dog-friendly establishment exceeded our expectations. The staff went above and beyond to care for our German shepherd puppy, providing him with water, treats, and even a special chicken breast cooked by the chef. As for us, we indulged in their tasty Steak and Ale pie and Chicken Kievs, both of which were superb. The welcoming atmosphere and attentive service made our visit truly memorable.

A really great pub with delicious cask ales. Friendly staff, great guests, relaxed atmosphere. You feel comfortable here. 5 stars!

Very friendly atmosphere. Good service and great selection of food and drinks. Nice homely feeling and enjoy the history of the pub and area. Bought a second Shirt as they are great quality. All in all a very nice place to visit. Definitely be back.!!!!!!!

Very friendly owner. Staff also very friendly. Delicious food!!

Emblematic site of the city, traditional pub, typical drinks and food. Good atmosphere.

Pretty reasonable, Greene king pub so along those lines of corporate "meh" but a few good pints on tap and nice atmosphere

A very nice place with very good reviews, that's why we went, although I can't say that they treated us very well, the guy who served us told us that he can't serve us without giving us the option to come back later or wait at the bar . We have gone opposite, it is called Number 1 and they are very friendly.

Poor service staff were abrup and a bit snappy no charisma. Apparently, had to book a table for food despite empty tables' bad business decision personally. As while in they turned away over 10 people looking for food who hadn't booked. Can't say I'll return

Fabulous little pub. Warmly greeted by a lovely girl at bar. Service excellent. Food amazing. Highly recommend the steak and ale pie or the special haggis pie. Fish and chips a good choice too. Booking a table is advisable as very busy. Highly recommend you come here for something to eat.

Great pub & great quality meals.myself & my 2 brothers always go in when in Edinburgh.fantastic staff too.love it.

My partner and I had a drink in this fab little pub, very quirky, staff friendly.

One of the must do pubs when in Edinburgh! Cosy little old school pub with charm And good quality service.

If you're passing through Edinburgh, this is a pub you shouldn't miss. We booked through the site, the place is small.

This historic location is also a must when visiting Edinburgh. Make a reservation in advance, otherwise you'll be stuck in your stomach. The food was good, the service was on point, the atmosphere was nice. I can recommend this restaurant.

Loved the atmosphere with the rush and flow of the patrons in and out throughout the day. Great location to visit and enjoy a pint.

Finally managed to get into this pub, as it is always very busy, as it is really small. We pop up here only for a drink, which was nice. Staff was more interested in themselves than customers, and it looked as customers bother them with their very important chatting. Said. Again, I think this place is overrated, nothing special. I was disappointed.

Great beer in beautiful pub with great atmfosphere

Very arrogant and rude wait staff in a dingy little h o l e

We had dinner here and drank some craft beers. The place is very beautiful and characteristic. The food was good and the fish & chips not heavy unlike many places in England.

Excellent haggis and fish and chips.

Very quirky and cute old buzzer. Small but cute

Food was wonderful and service was fabulous. The place is a bit small but that makes it even more cozy, would recommend to make a reservation in advance as the spots are limited. Great staff, fast service and nice food. Must visit when you are looking for a place to eat in Edinburgh!

Fantastic real ale! Great staff!

I was a guest of this delightful and historic Pub on the evening of December 29th. The staff proved to be as kind as they were knowledgeable and they also recommended a delicious beer. Haggis excellent, beef with potatoes and cabbage very tasty. An experience that I will repeat as soon as possible.

Good Pub, nice drinks, good ambisnce.

Such a beautiful meal! I had the Haggis starter, which was absolutely perfect 👌🏻. The service was outstanding—they went out of their way to accommodate us, and we were truly grateful.

we loved it Relaxed atmosphere. Very delicious food and beer.

Consistently good good from the worjd famous World's End pub.

Excellent beer, typical Scottish food, to go with friends and family

I really liked the place. We didn't have a reservation and we waited a little until they gave us one. We ate something quickly and it was actually very good. The attention from the staff is very good and the atmosphere is charming.

Best pub food I’ve had on our UK trip. If you’re a Mac n cheese fan, you must try theirs. I only had a side order of it with my meal, and it was the best I’ve ever had. Chicken kyiv and fish cakes were wonderful.

Our favorite pub on the mile... friendly staff and very cozy escape from the noise of the mile. Some of the best fish and chips you'll find.

Nice pub, no messin'. Boozer, amongst pretentious artisan pubs.

So pleasantly surprised !! We intended to go to a place across the street and it was too busy on Christmas Day . Instead we ended up here and soooo glad we did ! There is a very small menu (3 dishes to choose from) and quite tight space to eat. The service was lovely, the mulled wine was perfect and both the meat pie and dish/chips were delicious ! So pleasantly surprised and would most definitely go back !!

Great ambience, the burger was a little to well done and dry, great chips and sauce. The steak and ale pie was delicious.

I won't lie, I went in because of the pub name (it has an interesting historical background) but the food was absolutely first class. Bangers and mash were on point and the servers were absolutely fantastic. The prices were good, too. 10/10 recomendation.

Traditional but crowded pub. Kind regards OK.

Perfect place to eat and know more of the World's end

Great bar staff.Beer not great and overpriced.

Fantastic!! Small cosy pub with a great atmosphere. We booked this in advance and so glad we did, food was amazing, service and staff exceptional. Will definitely visit again if we ever come to Edinburgh.

Good vibe and good reputation however our friend who came in the door excitedly after not seeing us for 6 months came through the door as a surprise for us. The lady behind the bar accused him of being too drunk, it was his first drink of the day… will not be back here.

We had a really lovely time here. Sticky toffee pudding was *chef's kiss*

Typical Scottish pub dating back to 1700

Amazing, cosy and well priced! Friendly staff, and great experience.

Amazing pub. When for a meal,5 people. Fantastic service, Food and atmosphere. A big shout-out to Blair and Ryan. Very clean and great atmosphere.

Super cosy ambience, very good service and very tasty steak & ale pie! We really enjoyed being there.

Fabulous pub with great brews and food. Feels like an old Scottish pub steeped in history. Ale pie is great. Staff is warm and friendly.

Lovely staff and a lively pub atmosphere food and drinks were delicious

Lovely steak pie, ruined with 'triple cooked chips' which were just frozen crap, wish I had the mash lol. Lovely pub though.

A most see on an Edinburgh visit.

The food, the service and the atmosphere were amazing. You must try rib croquets if you are lucky enough to catch as special. They welcomed us warmly and make us comfortable. Thanks!

It's our favorite pub in Edinburgh, we eat there every time we come

Always very busy so you'll probably have to book in advance. Good food, nice atmosphere, polite service.

I eat haggis and mash.great atmosphere.very busy at times may need to reserve.as the same for a lot of places

Over rated place. Crowded and stuffy

We booked the table for 6pm, the food was excellent and all staff very professional and friendly. We will definitely come back again

Very good cuisine, good service and beautiful typical setting.

Very cosy atmosphere, staff was attentive and friendly. Food was very tasty, will definitely come back when able.

Found the Pub while walking the Royal Mile. Enjoyed a delicious meal! Burger, steak pie, havgis fritters and fish and chips were delicious. Service was great, very friendly staff.

Beautiful and cosy environment. The staff cannot do enough for you. Food is delicious and wine menu is great.

Great atmosphere. Cozy friendly vibe

Great food in a classic, historic pub. Good prices since they are in the Royal Mile.

A really amazing place! Is super cozy and the food is amazing. The fish and chips and the steak & ale pie with mash were incredible.

Nice little pub. Felt surprisingly genuine considering that it is at the furthest point from the tourist trail. Only drank a couple of pints so no rating on the food.

Just came in the place and a terrible bad smell make us to run away the restaurant 😔... horrible!

Great cozy pub, not a lot of seating, but great drinks, and always a good mix of people

Love this pub, check it out. Has a bit of history and great atmosphere

Pub is half empty and the blonde host was extremely rude and didn’t wanna seat us because it’s “reservations only” - on a Sunday night at 8pm? Laughable! I would avoid this place!

A charming place that allows you to enjoy the most authentic Edinburgh in its taverns. It also has a lot of history since it is located at the point where anyone who crossed the walls did not return. Hence the end of the world. Cheap pints compared to other Edinburgh pubs.

Nice pub, great beers, friendly service, just the right atmosphere.

Booked a table for dinner and my wife booked the wrong time by mistake. The staff were brilliant and managed to find us a table even though the place was packed. Food and service was first class as well. Lovely friendly pub in a great location and would definitely recommend.

Wonderful people and atmosphere. Had a great time. Great service! We didn't eat so cannot comment on that but what I saw go by me looked wonderful. It's a must visit kind of place.

Doesn’t accept walk ins, interior is small and claustrophobic

The perfect place. Nice athmosphere, nice staff and we got really good food. We had Chicken Kiev, Burger and fish and chips, all of them where so good.

Lovely place for lunch. Staff were amazing, friendly, welcoming and accommodating. Food was very tasty, drinks too!!

I came in at about 6:00pm on a Monday by myself wanting to eat but it was busy. I couldn't get a table in the restaurant area but bought a pint and a table came free in the bar area so I snagged it and ordered food. The steak and ale pie is beautiful and really filled a spot before a night of beer. I would happily eat here everyday if my body would let me.

We had already been to the London branch but only to have a beer. This time we wanted to try their famous fish and chips which did not disappoint our expectations. Very good and crunchy fish. The chicken legs with piri-piri sauce are also good, very spicy. The girl who served us was competent (given my lactose intolerance) and kind. I recommend booking through their website.

Didn't have food but the drinks were top notch. Lovely pub, great atmosphere & friendly staff. Well worth a visit.

Me and my friends came in for some dinner. We did book a table in advance and I highly recommend to do it if you would like to eat. Staff were very friendly, food was delicious, beers are to die for. 10/10 would come back

Excellent atmosphere, lovely pub great staff and wonderful food with a scottish flavour. Good lo ation on the Royal Mile.

Really cool archaic atmosphere.

Great atmosphere and very tasty beer. We didn't try the food here because it was too crowded. Definitely a highly recommended pub!

Cozy place, good atmosphere and good food

Great food, great beers, great service. Highly recommend.

We were recommended by a friend who's had a career in the drinks industry for over 30 yrs. We walked in and first impressions were not good, my wife asked if they served Decaf coffee...........no was the answer, a blunt no, ok, so do you serve Magnum, a Scottish whisky cream liquer, again just a blunt "No" came back. I ordered an IPA and my wife had a Baileys which when served came with no "Thank you" or in fact any words at all. Nice pub, rubbish staff, both people serving were not pleasant at all.
