Review: Fierce Beer – A Rose Street Pub in the City Centre

January 3, 2026 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Located between Princes and George St, Fierce Beer brings Aberdeen’s finest brews to Edinburgh. Features include outdoor seating, Iron Brew beer, and late opening hours. A friendly, modern pub that’s ideal for meeting friends, though food is scarce.

Review: Toastology – A Toasted Sandwich Bar in Stockbridge

December 28, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

A busy spot on Deanhaugh St, Toastology elevates the humble toastie to an art form. Try the Pulled Ham “Stockbridge Stack” or a rich hot chocolate. Ideally suited for takeaway due to popularity. A delicious, if slightly pricey, lunch treat.

Review: Down the Hatch, a Canadian restaurant in the city centre

December 25, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Down the Hatch brings a Canadian feast to Antigua Street. This “Tardis” of a restaurant is huge inside, family-friendly, and serves some of Edinburgh’s best burgers. Great for pre-theatre meals, though booking as a solo diner can be tricky.

Review: Copper Blossom, a cocktail bar on George Street

December 24, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Copper Blossom is a floral wonderland on George Street. With stunning decor and the viral Nickin’ Nolan cocktail supporting Cash For Kids, it is a must-visit. The steak and eggs are a highlight, though portions are refined. Highly recommended.
