Biddy Mulligans Pub in Edinburgh, City of

It was my favorite bar in Edinburgh 😍 live music, relaxed atmosphere, welcoming !

Great boozer but the toilets are vile

Food was alright, most items on the menu were not available. Uncomfortable seating, and expensive for the food they offer. Will not eat there ever again.

The food is not bad, it's good pub food. On the other hand, the service was deplorable, we ended up doing the service ourselves. They didn't give us enough cutlery for everyone and when it came time to pay, the waitress was unparalleled in her condescension and contempt. We felt like we were disturbing her. So for a service that we pay for, it is deplorable or even non-existent. I don't recommend.

Total rip off - do not frequent! They advertise a Macallan at £7.50 and charged me £11! Refused a refund when this was pointed out.

Really good atmosphere very lively

Great location, minuted away from the cementery from the bobby statue and Victorian street.

We only stopped to have a beer, as we were with our baby and we already knew we couldn't go into pubs, we ordered and sat outside, a delicious beer and a place to enjoy it.

Great pub with a great atmosphere and great staff

Nice pub with good selection of beers and food. Great music and nice atmosphere. Lots of celebration and fun.

I really liked the establishment, namely, its lightness and sincerity. The atmosphere is friendly, people drink, dance and enjoy the music. There is live music, at least on Saturday evening there was a lot of people. I can’t say anything about the food - we didn’t order it. Free admission . I recommend it.

Very good atmosphere, nice pub decor.

I found the food at this place pub was rubbish. They don't have most things on the menu. We had a Sunday roast and there was no lamb or pork available and that was like 12.30pm. The vegetables was not cook properly and there was hardly any gravy on the food so asked for a bit more gravy and was charged £2.00 for that. We mentioned it that the gravy shouldn't be charged and the staff just ignored us and still.charged us for the extra gravy.Wouldn't go back here for food. The staff wasn't very friendly people either. Also, they charge service charge on the bill. Never once the staff asked if everything was okay, did we enjoy the food but was quick to charge service charge on the bill. Don't think we'll go back here again or recommend it.

A very nice location with a lot of selection of drinks. You order and pay at the bar. The staff are very friendly and can also recommend drinks. From 8 p.m. a (we estimate) regional musician came, sat on a chair and acoustically perfected the atmosphere with his guitar. This pub is highly recommended.

Nice wee pub brilliant fish and chips

An Irish pub so had to have the Irish stew, which was quite delicious! And of course washed down by Guinness, being an Irish pub (in Scotland) 😆 Service was really good, especially at lunchtime on a Sunday.

Excellent atmosphere. The pub broadcasts rugby matches from other nations. I recommend

Decent bar, great music. Bar staff are attentive and not rude despite being slammed. Only gripe I have is the fact the house drinks (vodka in particular) are so expensive despite the poor quality. Something like £10 for a double of something with a name I've never seen.

Good atmosphere and a good range of drinks.

Had an excellent experience. Food, drink and atmosphere are all worth repeating.

Cozy pub in Grassmarket area of Edinburgh.

Was delicious good and great service! Such a fun place to go!

Everyone is very friendly and brings a smile to your face. I would recommend anyone traveling to Edinburgh to take a break in this pub and enjoy the atmosphere.

It's a little Pub with nice people.

Came for a drink after visiting Victoria Street and ordered the haggis loaded tater tots. They were absolutely delicious and the best haggis I’d had in my trip to Edinburgh. Could’ve ordered it again 10 times over. Great atmosphere and can tell that if there was any sport on then it’d be a great place to come to.

Great pints and brilliant service. John on bar was class! So so friendly and courteous and pours a stunning pint of G, will definitely be back hopefully John is working

Unsanitary at its FINEST. They reuse beer glasses under the spout. They never once wash their hands. I saw a lemon drop and roll on the floor and the girl picked it up and started cutting it again adding it to their lemons and lime pile for drinks. We were disgusted. Also, the main blonde girl bartender was very rude.

Cheila was absolutely amazing and so polite. She honestly was the best bartender we met in Dublin. Out of all the bars, this one was an absolute gem. Please come here if you visit Dublin!

Cheila was amazing! Beer was well worth the price! Best bar in Ireland!

Advertised as the smallest pub in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (although I have my doubts that this is the case). Near Grassmarket Square and Victoria Street, we are welcomed by a typical pub with screens showing old matches in black and white. We found it by chance and it surprised us, it has a varied offer of well-drafted beers and a generous menu. We ordered the Fish & Chips and the Mac & Cheese and it was all delicious. They were very quick to serve us and very friendly, the time we spent in the pub was very pleasant, thank you for everything.

Food was okay, but the service and entertainment is what made the night. Great cover bands and the server was fantastic! Bonus, right across from our hotel so we could drink and not have to worry about getting back.

Came here fresh off a trip to Dublin. Great Guinness being served up.

The live music was great, lots of people. Seemed decent. The nacho cheese was burned so I couldn't pull the chips off the plate and the Irish stew was so-so, and for our first experience in Scotland, we didn't know we needed to order at the bar. When we asked staff for a menu a couple times, they got snippy with us, but we didn't know. Other than that, the staff working the bar were decent and guests were having a great time. We wanted to like it, and it had the ability to be good.

Friendly, The food and drink as expected!

It was okay - nothing more. The live music was nice.

Came here a few times. Great location, service, and a fantastic pint of guiness. Breakfast was average.

Lively atmosphere, tasty food, and a prime location in Grassmarket. I recommend it to anyone looking for a pub with good food options in the heart of Edinburgh.

Great atmosphere and decent food. Some good vegan options available but menu is limited

Great pub - lively atmosphere. The salmon salad was very tasty, fresh, and a generous portion size. A bit disappointed with the taste of the Irish coffee, but overall a decent pub with lovely staff.

Good general pub in Grassmarket. Get away from the crowds and get a snack and a pint.

Cracking pub in the market district of Edinburgh. Always lively and has a great atmosphere. It's my go to on every Edinburgh trip. Cheers!

Fantastic pints, and great food. But here’s the issue: the service is woeful. Sorry, and I do love this pub, but was left standing for 10 minutes at the bar while 4 times the bar staff ignored me to tend to their friends who had walked in. Then proceeded to serve other patrons who had just arrived. And sadly this is not an isolated incident. Bar staff simply seem to pick and choose when it suits them to serve paying customers. And until that changes I simply won’t be coming back.

Local pub with good atmosphere Live music is good. People are also friendly

First meal in Scotland after traveling 28 hours. The smoked haddock's chowder was to die for! This is saying a lot considering I'm from Cape Cod. Everyone was happy with their meals. Excellent place to go.

The beer selection is good. We enjoyed drinks outside in the sun. We were able to order online using the QR code and pay directly. The drinks are brought directly to the table.

Only had a few whiskeys here didn’t have any food, but friendly atmosphere and staff. Unfortunately the musician called in sick the night I was there… They stay open a bit later than most pubs in the area. Would go again.

Brlliant pub with great staff. Thanks. We will be back

Nice pub, great service from zhasmin

Lively Irish bar, plenty of comfy seating, reasonably priced and good service. A good place to spend an hour or two whilst in Edinburgh.

Well for students, very loud and crowdy. Excellenz good nevertheless

Typischer Pub mit Life Musik am Abend. Personal sehr aufmerksam höflich und zuvorkommend. Frühstück für Hotelgäste des Grassmarket Hotel war ausgezeichnet. Verschiedene Biere am Zapfhahn. Gin Tonic nicht zu empfehlen, da ein aus unserer Sicht minderwertiges Tonic genutzt wird.

Best pub in Edinburgh, Carbomb perle and the food was also very great. A good reason to come to Scotland, thank you very much.

Just had drinks here decent boozer that gets lively later on

Loved the atmosphere, better than any other on grassmarket and the guiness is probably some of the best in Edinburgh! definitely would recommend :)

Decent spot for a drink and a bite to eat

Went on a Saturday night, very busy spot, no seats available. Good music but only stayed for one as it was too busy for us. Seems like good craic if you get there early to get settled in.

Excellent food, lovely pub which was enjoyable despite the cheeky, pretentious, precious bar girl that refused to serve me until I said please after having said thanks before, pathetic.

Had a great meal here, outside in the glorious sun, Haggis, Neeps & Tatties for the full Scottish experience!

Came here with my girlfriend, was right away impressed with the place, the atmosphere, the look, there was live music playing, it was great! The food was amazing, the beer even better and the staff were super friendly. We’ll be back for sure.

Pretty awful service in this place. 2 pots of tea leaked, 1 of the lads got their food 20 minutes before the rest of us and another got his 20 minutes later. Brought the issues to the staff and they didn’t give a hoot. Won’t be back. On the back of this review, and as per below, I was asked to detail the issues in an email. I did that and haven’t heard anything since. Do not go here as it’s woeful.

Irish pub in the Grassmarket. Good sized bar which is popular with students, stag and hen do's, tourists and locals. Live music every night and a bit of a dance floor space. Lively bar which can be very busy but well staffed and security on door.

Party pub, chilled atmosphere, great vibes. Live music spot on. Bar staff on point.

You'd be better off at literally any of the other bars on this street.

Haggis and crisps excellent, friendly service

Very poor quality service. Waiting 20 mins for table service. No napkins or condiments on table. Outside tables rocking on uneven ground. Staff uninterested serving customers. After ordering, waiting a further 20 mins for mediocre food which was not hot. Would not spend another penny in this place and I doubt they would really care. If they were working for tips I'm sure things would be different.

Irish pub. No Smithwicks. No Killians. No Harp. Guinness and assortment of trash beer.

Nice place. Very expensive pints as my Tennants was nearly £6. The stereos were too loud for me as you had to shout in someone's ear to hear them. This was later in the evening but I think everyone would benefit from it being quieter.

Irish stew delicious, too little and too expensive, service in the normal range, the seagulls are pretty rude, the people feeding them are just crazy

Great breakfast and friendly staff, nice atmosphere and loads of events and music going on. Would come again definitely.

Just for a drink the place is good. There are indeed disabled toilets but with maches at the entrance... Few people passed by and the service was fast and friendly. There are concerts in the evening at the back of the pub. The poster seems diverse.

A good time spent at noon. Nice pop rock playlist.

Quaint pub in Edinburgh. Live 🎶 music, delicious beer. I stay here. To feel good.

Delicious burger and perfect location in a tourist area.

customer service was fantastic and food was delicious, really nothin to complain about, would definitely revisit if i’m in the area!

Plastic glasses even at dinner time, and even if you drink inside. Sticky tables and grubby all round. Toilets, even at lunchtime were a disgrace. Locks broken, toilets full of paper, not cleaned and smelly.

Great location in Edinburgh. My entire family was impressed with the bar staff/service. Bangers and mash were on point. Great Guinness pour! Amazing experience to end out trip to Edinburgh

Disappointing experience Saturday night ( 15th June ). 4 bottles of bud, 1 southern comfort with lemonade and a pint of tenants ( and i only asked for half ) £32.00+. When i asked for the rundown on prices the barboy couldnt tell me. He did push to supply me with a full pint as i had paid for it, but half heartedly offered £2.00 back for the other half i didnt ask for, oh and a comment that " this is an expensive bar ". I would be interested to hear from the venue on the pricing. Following this review i was contacted by the venue and was presented with an apology. I did also find out that Biddys do add a service charge on to your order, something i wasnt made aware of.

Just had a beer, quick service and great atmosphere, pub known for parties.

The food was substandard and the staff very rude.

Lovely little pub. Good atmosphere. Nice food. We were served by Lewis Scott who was great craic and very attentive.

Floss the boss serving up the bottled magners

What a noight!!! Proper food. Done Right. Floss the Boss was like an octopus pulling all those pints!

Such a fun night out in the capital - top notch service from Floss! Can’t wait to come back again ☺️

A very nice pub with delicious beer, very nice service and live music. I recommend

Great atmosphere. I come here to watch a lot of football, rugby, and GAA while grabbing something from their tasty menu and listening to their live music, which is on every day! Great place

Beautiful spot outside in the sun. Food was delicious, chips especially were triple cooked and crispy. Slight negative was the brioche bun on the burger wasn’t totally fresh

We popped into biddy mulligans, on a whim, and what a brilliant atmosphere! The staff were super knowledgeable, and were able to guide us through the various items on the menu, as well as the extensive whiskey menu. 100% worth a visit

Had a fabulous Sunday night at Biddys!! Food, service, atmosphere all top notch!! Would highly recommend for a fun night out⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We came to Biddy's for a cider, nacho's and live music (from 8pm). We enjoyed ourselves thoroughly and only left early because we still had to pack our suitcases. Staff is very friendly (and fast). Will come back when we visit next time!

Was in for lunch during a busy day! The team were great Ben was very friendly the katsu tatter tots are to die for!

Wouldn’t allow an Austic person to go to the toilet with his carer, I got thrown out instead… absolutely disgusting

Bald security guard being very aggressive with females unnecessarily. Not very welcoming and very off putting, was willing to ‘square up’ to us and making me and my female friends feel threatened just by sitting outside.

Terrible toilet... It's scary for a pub like this. Zero service. Really disappointed.

4 of us had breakfast, really nice, not greasy. Service good, would recommend.

Very, very disappointing pub. Never has any Pinot wine , aked for bottle of coke , they don't stock it, no bottled Pepsi either, they only had J20 or Irn Brew as soft drink options .I am no able to drink the coke out a "gun" due to issues with the glutton contained in those units . Noted also they have very poor choice of beers ( One brand of IPA , tenants, guineas or Magners cider ) compared to other bars in Edinburgh you are really failing to compete .

If I go back to Edinburgh I will definitely come back here!!

This is one of the only bars in Grassmarket that stays open later than all the neighboring bars. A good spot for a late night cap or a fun weekend sing and dance along the live band. Katie, our server, was super helpful!!

Very nice pub with delicious food, great beer and good live music.

Called in for a drink to get out of the rain. We were served by Ben who was friendly and helpful. I asked for a whisky of his choice and he was very knowledgable and gave me a “The Balvenie”which was really nice. We didn’t eat but the food that was coming out looked really good.

What a scam. Wants to charge you 4,5 pound for baby shots after offering them to you ‘for free’ but only mentioning you have to pay for them after you downed like a legend
