Dear Customers
We welcome the most recent Scottish Government announcement which means that from Monday 19th July customers are no longer restricted to a two hour time slot.
However, all other Covid 19 prevention measures will remain in place including 1-metre physical distancing between customers from different groups, table service only, using the Check In Scotland app on arrival, wearing face-coverings at all times (unless seated) and using hand-sanitisers for additional protection. All of this is designed to keep our customers and bar team safe.
Thanks again for your continued support and we look forward to seeing you.

We had a nice time at Sandy Bells. Went on a Thursday and although there was no live music there was a pleasant crowd. Mix of locals and tourist. Service was good and prices were fair. Decent number of beers on tap.
Had a great time here. The live music and atmosphere are awesome. The locals were super friendly and made for a fun night.
I was traveling solo and saw online that this pub was supposed to have good local music. I am SO glad I went! The place is small and it was packed with locals. I sat down at the bar, drank a few pints, and chatted and made some new Scottish friends for a few hours while listening to the traditional music. It was such a nice, genuine experience to just sit, drink, and have some friendly conversations with strangers on a Tuesday night. Based on what I heard inside the pub too, it seems like it is mostly frequented by locals. Beer was cheap and bartenders were lovely. Highly recommend!
I came to this place, because I wanted to do a whisky tasting and I heard they had good whisky. I asked the lady behind the bar if she could help me and I got a personalized whisky tasting. SO to her! Was an amazing experience and the live folklore music definitely added to that.
Me and my friend had a fantastic time at this pub, where the style represents the city of Edinburgh! This includes the frames, arch and the counter's layout, where we were served by lovely staff. They were a bit delayed due to a heavy crowd but understandable and I enjoyed the Edinburgh Gin, situated comfortably at a clean table!
