Everyone’s favourite Irish Bar! Open late with live music Wednesday to Sunday, located in the heart of Edinburgh.
An Irish bar with a difference, we're actually Irish! Just off Edinburgh's famous Grassmarket, Dropkick Murphy's gives you a real experience of what an Irish bar is meant to be. Live music, showing major sports on our big screens and all out great craic assured.
Newly refurbished with lots of bookable spaces, great beer and cocktail range and 4 huge screens to watch the rugby.
Went for their new year party. Place was so overcrowded to the point where you couldn't actually move or breathe. Bouncers did nothing and kept on letting people in despite this being a clear and obvious breach of fire safety regulations regarding capacity. Not very safe whatsoever. Bar and cloakroom staff were friendly and did a great job which was a plus
It was packed when we went, but absolutely great! Drinks choices and prices were good and all the staff were friendly. They have live music which really gets the crowds going, but have booths and tables along the side as well!
Another bar that does not have bar stools......I am trying to understand why it seems like not many bars have seats at the bar anymore? A huge reason to go to a bar is to meet new people and talk to new people. Why does there not seem to be bar stools in bars? It makes no sense. Covid has been gone for over year now. Whenever I see a bar that does not have seats at the bar I have no desire to go in. I would love an explanation. Again a huge reason to go to a bar is to meet people. Deff a lot easier meeting people sitting at a bar striking up a conversation then going over to a table. Makes no sense. Can someone please explain this to me?
This has to be one of the best places for one liners in Edinburgh. I've been twice now and the compere is world class. He's won the Dave award twice (a feat only done by Tim Vine!). The venue and amount of comedians they have are amazing and it's free to watch (please, if you can though give some money to keep it going!) I will be back next year :-)
Awesome little pub. Stayed open really late for those like that to keep the party rockin.
