We loved a few visits to the Old Bell Inn while staying at a local hotel for a few days. A cute pub with a great atmosphere. Excellent service and food. We are sport fans and enjoyed the atmosphere for the local derby game. We'd love a pub like this as our local.

We had a relaxing drink and meal here one weekday evening. Food was plentiful (steak and ale pie) and tasty but we both found it rather salty for our palates. The pub is charismatic and staff very nice. It was also beautifully decorated outside for Christmas.

Amazing food and service. The fish was a footlong! Lightly battered and I got steamed vegetables and thir tartar sause was super good. It was dill and pickles and sour cream. It was so good that I went the next day and had it again.

Really nice authentic pub with a great atmosphere! We discovered it by accident one evening and decided to give it a try. Oh boy, we were not disappointed. We liked it so much that we came back a second time during our stay in Edinburgh. The first evening we tried the haggis from their menu (my girlfriend had the veggie option). Both meals were so delicious (the pepper sauce is to die for)! The second evening we ordered both the veggie haggis. Compliments to the chef! Also, the staff was very attentive! The young guy behind the bar recommended a really tasty and smooth whiskey. All in all, an awesome experience.
