Step in to discover a traditional pub of unique character, revered for its eclectic range of real ales and its heartily classic pub food, which are served, as they should be, with a generous measure of famous British hospitality. Our tavern is named after William Brodie, one of the inspirations for Robert Louis Stevenson's Jekyll and Hyde. By day, he was a respectable citizen, a member of the town council but by night, he consorted with lowlife; gambling and drinking. His dark side meant he had to take to burglary to pay his gambling debts, leading to his hanging in 1788. Deacon Brodies Tavern is one of many rare gems in the Nicholson's collection of great British pubs, reputed for their distinctive buildings, intriguing history and vibrant atmosphere.

Edinburgh in August, best enjoyed with a glass in hand. ๐Ÿน

Take a seat, enjoy a perfectly served spritz or G&T, and settle in for some of the best people-watching of the Fringe.

Ideal for a little refreshment between shows โ€” or simply watching the Festival go by.
