Bobby’s bar—located just in front of the famous church—holds as much charm as the story of that faithful dog itself. With arched windows looking out onto the Bobby’s memorial outside and the unusual downhill arrangement inside, it has to be one of central Edinburgh's most quirky yet homely traditional pubs.

With its decent food and snacks, as well as real ales, whiskeys and hot drinks, Bobby’s is the handy for an inbetween-show stopover, being close to a number of central venues.

Although prone to the ‘old-man pub’ vibe, it is the perfect place to enjoy the delightful story over a quiet pint of real ale and some good pub grub amongst tourists and locals alike.
