What a change . The guys in Bobby's run a relaxed fun bar that serves good pub grub even when the line for food orders were out the door, evening music was good and didn't take over the whole bar and i'll be back for the rugby - Good luck .

Particularly when you are interested in the Bobby-story this pub is a must. In all other cases: the Fish & Chips were excellent, the 2 kinds of Ale I tried were also excellent and the staff extremely polite. After visiting the area of the town this was a nice place to let the evening come.

Still a lovely looking pub but caters more for diners these days (like many a boozer in town)
Still a nice atmosphere,comfortable and the service is a bit better but more expensive now too .

If you go to Edinburgh, you cannot afford to pass on the opportunity to visit the dog pub! Quality effort! Whisky rocks! Watch out for tommy boden....

this is bit of a local pub for local people, but that's not a bad thing, it's got a lively atmosphere, with a brill juke box !! the beer's a bit bland but hey there's always whisky !!!

If you're a tourist then I guess this is one of the pubs you have to visit. Right outside the pubs door is the wee statue of Bobby and the actual graveyard is just round the corner.
