Visited this famous location expecting an exceptional experience! It was a quite Wednesday evening, we were sat in a booth which beers could be ordered through a hatch. Food was good quality, hot and as expected. Service was slow, which I would of expected to be more attentive based on how empty the place was…live singer came on a 9pm which was a nice touch…..

Came here for a quick tea with Dad.I had the pork belly, black pudding and goats cheese risotto which is all three of my favourite things combined. My dad had fish and chips which came with a delicious chippie sauce, needless to say I stole most of that.Lovely waitress, lovely food, lovely place. aguide2.me
I’ve been to Ghullie Dhu on various occasions and I always enjoyed myself. The pub downstairs is nice, the staff is fast and they have Staropramen on the tap which is always a nice surprise. It can get busy on Fridays and Saturdays though. There is a lovely big room upstairs where I’ve been to ceilidh couple of times. It’s usually full of tourists so everyone is running around and no one knows what to do. So I think there are better ceilidhs in Edinburgh, for example in Summerhall where the ceilidh club meets once in a while. The band here is usually good though, trying to explain the steps in detail. Overall, if you’re looking to see a quirky venue and dance some ceilidh you should go here. They only do the ceilidh on certain days so make sure you know in advance.
We’ve visited the Ghillie Dhu a few times although we’ve never sat down for a meal. The building used to be a church and was converted to a restaurant/bar establishment with live music on the ground floor, bathrooms in the basement floor and more live music upstairs. One of the greatest things about the Ghillie Dhu that I really like is their weekly Friday ceilidhs. We usually get in for free, unless it gets busy or there’s a special occasion on where you’ll need to pay at the door. The only days there are no ceilidhs are when there are special bands on so be sure to check their events calendar on their website before going! If you’re not particularly going for the ceilidh, the upstairs is laden with long heavy trestle tables and benches. It’s also a perfect setting for a wedding with its stained glass windows and gothic architecture which has been preserved! diyshopaholic.com
Awesome place!the food was great, atmosphere was great, and everyone on staff was beyond helpful and friendly!!! A must see!
Superb Burgers. Excellent burgers and a superb range of beers. Perfect for that lazy Sunday afternoon in the pub vibe.
