| Made a day trip to Edinburgh from Cheshire, 3 hour train journey, well worth it. Deacon Brodie's was full but atmospheric. Excellent surroundings, I see from other reviews that it has been restored, but it has been very well done in a traditional style. No trouble getting served by the friendly staff (a characteristic of all the 6 pubs we visited in Edinburgh that day) had an excellent pint of Harviestoun Bitter & Twisted. Recommended. quadrantfour - 5 Oct 2014 12:13 |
| great pub with history like many on or near the royal mile. Good Scottish ale along with a few guests as per most nicholsons. busker999 - 8 Apr 2013 20:24 |
| 8 of us went in here last Friday for a drink before proceeding up the Royal Mile to see if we could get into the Camera Obscura. Although it was packed in here the service was quick and the staff were cheerful and friendly and we got served very fast even though there was a stag and hen party in. Two of the ladies with us wanted coffe and that came fast as well. I recommend this place to anyone who likes a little bit of history attached to a pub. paulbeckett - 8 Apr 2013 19:30 |
| This is one of the Royal Mile's most famed pubs - see the history notes on the tables. It is now run by Nicholsons who are mainly a London pub company but they have 6 bars in Edinburgh now. Grand interior which has been well restored. Good range of beers although most were from breweries from South of the Border. They do food with a restaurant upstairs although you can get a snack meal in the main bar. Service was very efficient and prompt even though the pub gets very packed - mainly with tourists. Try also The Mitre further down the Mile (another Nicholsons pub). mcroyal - 12 May 2012 17:52 |
| It sometimes can be tricky to steer oneself away from the main drag of the Royal Mile; all roads seem to lead to it. Doing so brings many rewards, not least in pub terms. However if you are stuck in the melee of the Mile and need a decent pint, you could do worse than come here. A large, lavishly-decorated Victorian interior, which is reminiscent of numerous pubs in London - and that's because this is the Edinburgh branch of the Nicholsons chain. All the expected features of their pubs are here - decent spread of ales (had some Stout which was excellent), and solid pub grub served in a dining room upstairs. As others have indicated, Brodie's isn't cheap and its touristy location must mean they're raking in the readies. All the same, if you can justify it, you'll enjoy a worthwhile feed and water against a pleasant, affable and bustling atmosphere. Not Edinburgh's most authentic of pubs but preferable to some of those nearby who could and should try far harder. TWG - 17 Aug 2011 07:42 |
