I went on BrewDog Beer Tasting / Sampling and boy did I come out plastered. They have such a variety of home microbrewed beers that I cannot start to explain all this. But be assured you will not taste beer like this outside of BrewDog. They are very soon opening their OWN bar in Stockholm, according Mark - who was our BrewDog Ambassador for the evening. He introduced us to the world of crafting artisan beers. (And associated marketing) - which sells more in Sweden than in the home country of Scotland! (strange but true fact We were offered a selection of 6 ales, beers. from 4.8 to 18.1 ABV. "Tactical Nuclear Penguin" is my favourite. I must try "Sinking the Bismarck" - which was a result of a 'nuclear' beer arms race between Scotland and Germany. ooh too many good falvours and tastes and stories.. I can only advise you go there and ask the staff about the history and they will be happy to tell you!. We shall return! read more

Badass craft beer + good pizza + eclectic crowd = another happy place in the city of happy places. I've been a fan of Brewdog for years and often tried to track down their brew in Canada, so when I moved here, this flagship pub made the rounds the first week. This place is epitome of what a distillery should be: unpretentious, experimental and with free wifi and access to pizza. So many distilleries I've visited throughout the years (and there have been a few, I moved here from a town boasting 45+ within the city limits) try and complicate things. They get so caught up in trying to LOOK amazing, that they end up confusing the consumer with what they're really about. When really, if they ARE amazing, there is no need for bells and whistles. Serve good craft beer. Serve good food. Have good staff. = amazing. Brewdog gets this. I'm a fan. read more

I love what BrewDgog stands for! It is an amazing Scottish business that started small and has done really well very quickly, both because of its quality brews and because of what it stands for. I love that BrewDog is all about being unique and being themselves by brewing all told crazy types of beer, and they are all about trying new things and revolutionizing the British (and world) pub culture by providing quality craft beer. They focus on providing us with crazy, cool, and ever-changing selections of beers on tap and in the bottle. This is definitely my style rather than flavor-less beer for the effect and not the experience. The BrewDog Edinburgh pub is cosy and the staff are super friendly and helpful, providing los of tasters to help you sample and make decisions on what to try next. I also think that it is totally awesome that they actually have a whole stack of games to play! How fun! For those who are not fully into beer, the downside is that the cider selection is small (and no ciders on tap) and there are just a few wines usually. They do have some innovative beer cocktails that I'd really like to try, too, along with their constantly-changing beer list. read more

A BrewDog is a BrewDog is a BrewDog. Yes and no. BrewDog Edinburgh is the second BrewDog location I've been to. The first being Shepherd's Bush. Yeah, they serve the same - or mostly same - selection of beers but the spaces are different. Shepherd's Bush is busy and it's hard to find a table and people don't seem to ever leave. Edinburgh is a smaller space but it seemed that people rotated in and out. We were there twice on New Years Eve (before and after dinner) and we were able to snag a table on both occasions. And can I tell you how nice it was to be able to sit down and not be crowded and have people breathing down your neck? It was super nice. Also, the bathrooms are pretty good too. Not the best in Edinburgh but they do the trick when in need. We had a variety of beers, one of which was the kriek and it was terrible. Kriek is a cherry beer and one of my favorites when are in Belgium but the kriek I drank at BrewDog was not like the kriek I drink in Belgium. I don't know if this was because they had just changed out the keg and I had the first glass from the keg or what but it was really quite terrible. My husband ordered the "ginger" something-or-other which was actually a cocktail made with ginger beer and real beer and it was super good though not something you'd drink to get completely intoxicated because the alcohol content was quite low. We also consumed our stand-by/regulars, the Punk and Dead Pony. Both were as they should be, Punk and Dead Pony. So, why the five stars if I didn't like the kriek beer I ordered? It's because I like the rotating clientele which keeps things fresh (also a bit more upscale clientele, no totally hammered 18yos), the staff is friendly, the pizza smelled wonderful (kitchen closes at 10pm), and I like many of their other beers, so there. read more

Okay, I'll probably be struck down by a Tactical Nuclear Penguin that will blow my arse all the way to Tokyo for this, but BrewDog make it so difficult for me to like their bars. There is a bit of a style/substance mismatch in with almost all of both in the beers and none of it in the establishment. Nice try with the old school gym floor used to cover the walls, but it doesn't quite work. The last time I was here I ordered a pizza and I hope I'm not alone in this, but to call this food is a gross misrepresentation of the truth. It was dry, bland, flimsy and vastly over-priced at eight quid. So, when it comes to food and interior design I think BrewDog are soft of the target, however I come here for the beer, oh the beer! I've been a fan of Punk IPA and it's lovely hoppy goodness for years, and when I recently had a bash at Dead Pony Club... oh my, I felt like I was cheating on the Punk with its younger, hoppier sister. Love this beer! Every time I go I usually try something different and I'm rarely disappointed. If you're into interesting (and gloriously hoppy) beer then this is the place for you. Mmmm, beer! read more

I don't drink beer. There I said it. I live in Scotland and I can't stand the taste of anything beer like (ale, mead, other beer ugh!) And yet, I thoroughly enjoy Brew Dog. Maybe it's the laid back crowd. Maybe it's the over-eager bar staff (I have been given samples of nearly every single beer available in here because they were convinced I would like at least one). Maybe it's the nice food. Or maybe it's just that my friends like beer and whenever I go here it's a good night. Whatever it is, BrewDog, despite being a bar catering specifically to beer drinkers, has my approval! read more

Brew Dog in Edinburgh is a tiny little craft bar that serves its own brew! The beer is grand, and the staff know their stuff. They will give you tiny baby thimbles of the beer to taste, if your like me and never know what to choose. The inside is cramped and its hard to get a seat, but I noticed that they have just redone the outside seating and it looks SO much nicer than it did before, so I'm going to try and sit there in the 5mins of Summer that we might get this year. Pizza and pies are available and are both pretty good, but don't really fill me up so I don't really go here to eat anymore. Im glad brew dog picked its location in the cowgate as it seems to have forged the way for a wave of nicer chill out pubs along the street. And for that and your great beer I thank you Brew dog! read more

I may just be blacklisting myself here but... I just thought Brew Dog was A-OK and nothing more spectacular. Sure, Brew Dog beer is very tasty and much nicer than the pish we're used to drinking in standard pubs. That's a fact and I won't argue with it. I LIKE real beer. But, the setting here ... I could take it or leave it. When I walked in, it was busy but not manic by any definition. I headed to the bar and, being not terribly familiar with the selection, hummed and hawed for a few minutes. The bartender stood there and scowled at me, offering no help or suggestions. I could have sworn that I read somewhere that the Brew Dog bartenders are educated in the beers they serve etcetcetc. I would have thought that, to accompany that education, might be a bit of excitement about their product and the desire to impart that excitement on their customers. Apparenly I was wrong. I ordered my pints and headed on my way. My friend and I sat ourselves at a tiny, awkward table and chatted as the place filled up with it's Friday after work crowd. When it was my turn to be treated to a pint, I would normally have gone for something different but just couldn't bring myself to get excited about it so just got the same. The quality of the beer does not make up for the combination of somewhat surly staff with not terribly comfortable surroundings (not to mention, located in the student-hole of the city). So, A-OK from me, but it's not a place I'll be rushing back to. read more

I haven't reviewed Brewdog?!?! Are you freaking kidding me?!?!? I spend all my spare time, and any spare dimes I have in this place. (And by dimes, I mean pennies. Not the tasty, almondy, chocolatey treat..... although I do have a habit of bribing the staff with cake.) The beer is uuuuber yummy. Always good choices on the Brewdog Taps and the guest ones too. Tempest and Mikkeller are always going to be winners with me. There is always much banter to be had. The staff are awesome, hilarious and know their beer. Pizzas are tasty. This place is 'so punk' I put Glitter on their Birthday cake..... read more

An excellent beer selection on hand with a comfortably casual atmosphere. We were given samples of the things we were curious about, and the beers that we each selected were DELICIOUS--I had a porter, and my friend had a surprisingly good red, which we followed up by some kind of wicked 10% ABV that was decadently sweet and flavorful. It was a wee bit crowded even for a Thursday night, so I imagine this place is slammed on weekends. Regardless, if you're looking for a good place to enjoy a beer after a long day, or are meeting up with friends, I could see this being an ideal place to go. Not only that, but they had some excellent songs playing in the background... think Modest Mouse and the like. Suited me just fine! Also, we didn't order any food, but based on the absolutely delicious food aromas wafting around, I'd like to give that a go in the future. The pizza smelled absolutely incredible! read more

If you want a place to try a new brew, one that has completely different tasting notes than youre used to, I'd go here! There arent many (if at all) places like this in Edinburgh. I highly recommend it for students and locals to try this place out, .but maybe not the ma and pa (too grungy?) They have a wide range of beers for everyone. Some who enjoy the classic blondes, or the darker richer ales. The brand is unique. The overall experience of the bar is not just the atmosphere, its trying a new brew! The interior has a cool vibe, and they have board games in the corner you can use! How amazing is that!?! (game of checkers anyone?) I'd only say my only downpoint is that if you don't love brewdog beer there aren't as many other selections to choose from as an alternative as you'd find in most bars. Also, the toilets are really bad. I know were in the Cowgate, but if they put some time into them that would make the place that much better!! read more

I was rather excited upon learning that my hotel just happened to be located within very easy walking distance of the BrewDog Bar. I'd had a few at home in Texas and had read about some of their more creative offerings like Tactical Nuclear Penguin. So, I naturally put this on my list of things to do. I stopped in on a Friday night so it was of course busy. I got the feeling this was a student hang out. None of this bothered me though. I was on a mission to try as many of their beers here as I could before stumbling back to my hotel. The bartenders were friendly and helpful in their descriptions of the beers. Despite the crowd, they had enough people working behind the bar to prevent a long wait. The bar itself had a casual almost coffee shop feel to it with low overstuffed couches along one wall and coffee tables in addition to the taller tables and chairs. The BrewDog attitude was very much in evidence with their humorous signs regarding the proper behavior while enjoying their beers. The atmosphere is comfortable but I knew what I was headed for. If you're wanting a nice sit down dinner, go to a restaurant. Leave this for the after dinner treat. Their beers...oh their beers. So being a North American, I'm used to super hopped beer. In general in the UK, I found that even if the beer is labeled an IPA it's not going to come close in hoppiness to one of our Pale Ales let alone one of our crazed IPAs. This wasn't really a bother for me but if you're missing your hops, you'll find them here with some of their offerings. I won't make this too long with all the beers I sampled but let me tell you right now their Paradox Jura is on and oh my... That may be the brew love of my life. I never found anything on their site but did find other references to them aging this beer in scotch whisky barrels which is something BrewDog likes to do (good on them too!). I went back 2 other times for this beer on my trip-yes it's THAT good. If you're a beer fan you should consider stopping in. If you're visiting from my continent and are a fan of Rogue, Stone or Dogfish Head breweries, you should run here immediately upon your arrival. I'm confident you'll be thanking me. read more

I don't like to brag... actually, I totally like to brag... and next to Colorado, New England has got to be the best place for some serious microbrewage action. So, I know what I want in a brewery: I want: Allusion to the idea of me hooking up with a bartender (in WRITING). A selection of beers that I can taste first! A staff member that will entertain my request for something "girly" or "like High Life". Half pints (just in case I hate it). Full pints (just in case I love it). Clever names for the beers, so I can rely on that to choose (like with wine labels). A chilled atmosphere where I can get in a word edgewise while trying to hook up with said bartender (no one specific, just the option being there is nice) Things I didn't KNOW I wanted... but BrewDog has: Other beers (I always go back to the BrewDog ones... but this place had STONE IPA!) People I don't hate. Most people bug me when they exist... not true about BrewDog patrons. Beer all night (usually I bitch and complain that I'm bloated after two... but not here... I am bloated but I won't bitch cause they taste.so.good). BrewDog, I have long relinquished the Long Trail crown to Brooklyn Brewery... but before I leave for Boston again... I suspect you'll have my heart. read more

Scottish people are so friendly, so why wouldn't the bartenders be? Decent selection of beers. Actually came for the food too but the kitchen was closed. Great mix of crowd from different countries because it's steps away from a hostel. But very clean and nicely branded. Great bartenders. Try the flights, to sample and you're on your way read more

See all

Small pub serving a great variety of their own brews and bottles from afar. They have pizzas and savory pies. Only tried the pizzas, which are excellent. The street its on (Cowgate) is a bit seedy, but worthy the venture. If you come down via Fishmarket Close its a bit nicer. read more

Great place to grab a craft brew! Fun atmosphere too. We stopped in here after a day of walking around the royal mile. The crowd was good for a Thursday evening. I'd come back if I ever make it back to Edinburgh. read more

BrewDog Edinburgh - A Belgium beer and the brewgooder! - Pubs Near Me - Edinburgh, EDH

This place is heaven for someone who loves beer - but stay away from the food. We tried their pizza (spicy monster) and it was awful. It seemed like the pizza dough/base was the kind you buy from the frozen section at the super market. Brewdog, you can do better or scrap the pizzas all together! The place was not too busy even though it was a saturday night. We got a booth pretty quick. The staff is nice and helpful. Good place to try some various yummy beers! read more

Chips are a terrible soggy mess,.. The pies are good and different from the area,.. There is a beer you will like from the selection available. We enjoyed the punk IPA and the Red Ale. read more

BrewDog Edinburgh - Good philosophy! - Pubs Near Me - Edinburgh, EDH

I must confess first, that i waited after a few visits to get a feel for the new Brew Dog pub before coming to a conclusion and writing a review. The Brew Dog bar is everything Brew Dog, with it's industrial chic interior, smashed tiles, and mix mash gym flooring on the wall. It's a pub stripped bare, to get straight to the basics.......Beer. That's what it is all about, good beer. Any beer lover should not miss this place, 14 taps half of which are guests from America, and the Continent, and the bottled beers must be close to 100 by now. And who cares if the beer is from a keg and not cask, because they all taste amazing. It took 2 months to revisit Brew Dog after my first visits, and i found myself going back 2 days later. Why you ask? Because i finally got to do what i intend to use the Brew Dog pub for. Going in when they place is not rammed on a weekend, sample some beers you will not find anywhre else in Scotland, line the belly with one of their spicy pizzas, and just appriciate good beer. 4 Stars for the quality, the innovation, the friendly cool staff and the balls to pull this off in the Cowgate. If only there was just more room. read more

Really crowded on a Saturday night. It is a bit of an American style beer place with funky strong flavors and high proof beers. Not a Belhaven or Guinness to be seen in this place and that's quite a good thing. From our perspective as visitors from the US, Brewdog definitely stand up to their counterparts stateside in inventive beers (think: Russian River, Rogue, Lost Abbey, and Stone breweries.) However sometimes they go too far and we had a half a pint of a beer that tasted like carbonated soy sauce. I gave a sip to someone who had tried that beer before and he said it tasted rather off. The bartender would not agree and refused to replace it. Which is fine, I ordered it, but it's still an unfortunate thing. I would not order the food as it seems rather an afterthought compared to brewing good beer. read more

After leaving our meeting pub on my friend's Stag night in Edinburgh, most people needed to check in, and since the other half and I came up the night before, we were tasked to find the next pub. The only thing we were told, "Make sure it has a lot of ales". So we quested. We asked Yelp. We walked into places, but nothing seemed right. I finally found BrewDog on Yelp, and it sounded like it had potential. When the two of us walked in, we realized we had found the place for our before dinner drinks. We let them know where it was (with specific instructions that the street it was on was a full level below Bridge, so don't try to take Bridge, which they did causing them to take ages to find it, plus Google maps seems to have the location down the street, closer to the bridge), and we settled in to try some beer. My first impression was that it was crowded but not too crowded that we couldn't fit 11 people around. Luckily, right before the rest of the group showed up, the people at the couch in the corner left, so we snuck in to steal the area before anyone else did. It's a bit more trendy and modern than most British pubs seem to be, which was nice for a group of mostly young guys. They all were really happy that we found the place. The beers. Well they were tasty, but a bit overwhelming on the palate. Mostly due to the overabundance of hops in all the beers (from the BrewDog beers to the guest beers, they all seemed this way). Because of that, there's definitely an American feeling to the beers, much like how Rogue brewery in the US overhops their beers. The difference? American hops are a bit more harsh and perfume-y than British hops, so while it wasn't my style of choice, the beer was tasty. It didn't go down quickly, as all the beer there is quite high in alcohol content. The lowest was under 5%, but just barely--squeaking in at a 4.9%. They serve smaller sizes of beer as you go up in alcohol. The 5% beers were standard in pints, go up to 7%, and it's a 2/3 pint. My first beers, the Yin and Yang guest ales broke in at a higher than usual 10%, and were served in 1/3 pint sizes. (Also, one was an amber, one was a stout. You drink half of each then mix together, which made for interesting beer drinking). Of course, if you get the Tactical Nuclear Penguin (coming in at a whopping 38%), it comes in about 10 mL servings. It's like beer liquor. It was a great vibe, and quite a bit of fun. About six of us broke out the Jenga (as there is a good selection of board games, well so-so selection, as Monopoly should never be included in a good selection), and we played a few rounds which many of the barstaff and patrons were quite happy to watch. We didn't have any food, but the pizza choices looked very interesting, and I saw some meat and cheese platters come out and they looked amazing. All in all, a good time was had, and I would not turn down a trip to another BrewDog (which the closest is in Camden, so a much easier trip). If you don't like American style beers or establishments, this place might not be for you. read more

BrewDog is real ale without the normally associated image, rather than old and stuffy everything is modern. I like real ale and like the more traditional pub, BrewDog though is more akin to a funky wine bar, but they serve beer, really good beer. Their own beers do tend to be hoppy, but are tasty - Punk IPA and Trashy Blonde being standard tipples of mine, though I occasionally go for the Hardcore IPA (tasty but 9.2%) if I only intend to have a few drinks. Being a brewers pub it is nice to see them supporting other micro-brewers, normally having 3 or 4 guest beers on tap generally all good beers. BrewDog sells beer and focusses on that, some of those beers are really silly (double figures % values) but don't go expecting a "normal" pub (much better than that), these folk treat beer as a craft and the beer is the focus. Real beer, done right - recommended! read more

I love heading along to this place. Sure it helps that I love beer, but it also helps that the staff are great, the selection is incredible and the food is amazing as well. I spend too much time here so am probably biased but in general whether in a big group or even on your own it's a great place to hang out. Recommend first timers start on a punk IPA to get themselves used to the very hoppy taste. After that move onto something a little different - ask the bar staff for a taste of something that you like the sound of or just tell them what you usually like and they'll suggest something. All in all a great atmosphere, fantastic staff, and an excellent drinking hole. read more

I'm a bit of a brewery hopper, though most of my experience is in the United States. This isn't the actual brewery but is a VERY fun little bar that has all of Brewdog's beers. They brew a lot of American style IPAs, which are packed with hops, and American Pale Ales, which for me is great since that's what I'm used to and enjoy. The location is a little confusing to get to if you're a tourist, and you may cross over the street a few times before realizing how to get down to the pub, but it's worth the wait! The atmosphere is great in the evening, and everyone is extremely friendly. If they have it, you have to try Sink the Bismarck! The strongest beer on Earth at 41% alcohol. It's not as scary as you imagine, and after waiting for a good long time to get my hands on it, I was supremely satisfied. read more

I have to admit that this one is a little far from my usual haunts, but when I'm around this part of town, I make a beeline for here. The atmosphere is really friendly so it makes a perfect hangout for first timers to the city. It gets a little busy which can make it feel pretty crowded as its not the biggest of venues. What I really like about brewdog is that it makes the perfect hangout for a Sunday afternoon. There's free wifi and board games to keep you busy. So what of the beer then? Well the taste ranges from very hopsy to smooth and delicate. The great thing is you can have a taste before signing up to a pint, so it's perfect for those of us who are afraid of commitment, who isn't right? One star down as it can be pretty crowded, with no hope in heck for a seat. So in short, the perfect place to chill on a Sunday, or a great start to your introduction to this fair city of ours! read more

Occupying a site that has in its time seen a number of short-lived bars come and go this new venture from the Aberdeen-based craft brewery may just have what it takes to become a long-lasting feature of the Cowgate. Although not exactly very large it's range and quality of products put it in a good position as a pit-stop for the proper drinker, rather than those who prefer the attractions of the two closest palaces of trash in that part of town (namely Siglo and the 3 Sisters). Discerning patrons now have a decent option for a pint between The Grassmarket and Bannerman's. Decked out in a style possibly not too far removed from that of parts of the firm's brewery there are around 10 taps and a very large number of bottled beers (the strongest according to their list being the 17% Red Horizon from Nogne O (listed under Barley Wines/Other so split hairs if you wish) and the dearest being a tie between two offerings in the Porter/Stout section from the Mikkeller brewery. Their Beer Geek Brunch Weasel (12.7%) and Beer Geek Breakfast Bacon (7.5%) coming in at £15 each. Pints though are at what seems to be the Edinburgh norm for the moment so between £3.20 - £3.50). The service was decent and after the initial novelty of the place wears off it'll probably be quite chilled out. read more

My first experience of this bar wasn't that great but I have learnt not to order wine ever again! The reason was purely because it tasted of soap and really wasn't enjoyable at all. Staying away from the wine choice, I opted for a cider. "Fanny's Bramble" was a bramble infused cider and it was quite refreshing. I think I was pleasantly surprised actually! Why is there only one toilet in the females? Luckily it wasn't busy and I was able to pop in and use the facilities but I hate to think what it would be like at a busier period later on. I've not tasted the food so I would have to come back and try it to give more stars. I don't drink beer either and wouldn't drink the wine again as really put off from last time. Saying all this I'm happy to give it three stars until I try the food and maybe then I can mark it up! read more

A great pub with a great atmosphere. Pizza is good but mine was a bit undercooked. The main appeal here is the beer. If you are tired of the malty and warm cask beers of the UK, you might like their hoppy, cold and carbonated beers here. I am from the west coast of the US, and this place brews beers like I'm used to at home. I particularly like the Elvis Juice IPA! read more

Cool bar. Great beers. Go here in Edinburgh, these guys can make a lot of tasty beer. Sours, stouts and ipa, all worthy of trying. Didn't get the pizza. No TVs so couldn't watch the World Cup. Mostly tourists in the crowd. read more

I was happy when I heard Brew Dog were to open a bar in Edinburgh and now I have a good few visits under my belt, I am convinced that the novelty isn't likely to wear off any time soon and that we have a truly great little bar in the heart of town. There is something written on the wall as you come in that states something along the lines of "No Football! No shots! No Stella!" and that sums it up pretty well. No football, and therefore no football nutters, you are there to enjoy the beer and that chat, if you dont want that - go elsewhere. No shots, no stella - its not a place for drinking like a tit, its about quality alcohol. With a wide range of bottles and drafts, there is likely something for everyone. For people that think you don't like beer, theres a good chance these guys could find something that will change your mind. These exceptionally well trained staff can help you find exactly what you are looking for and will offer tasters if you want to try one of the draft beers. The cost of a normal pint is slightly below the average, but they do their speciality beers which go up in price massively (but so does the ABV!!) All a bar, its great, comfy, modern but not "shiny" and prestigious. Not huge, but a really great atmosphere and very welcoming. Decent background music too. Going back to the non-pretentious comment, that applies to the staff too. Although they are beer experts, they are not beer snobs and if like me, you enjoy real beer but don't know anything about it, they seem to enjoy educating you, not judging you and there is no way you are likely to feel out of place. The menu, while minimal, is great with really tasty freshly made pizzas, burgers and cheese boards at very reasonable prices. Brewdog are genuinely impressive at creating a buzz and i'm sure their story will be a case-study in marketing one day, and while some may dismiss what they do as gimmicky, I applaud their approach to doing something different, breaking the mould and giving us this great little bar, with great beer and great pizza. read more

There is nothing I like more than backing local businesses and BrewDog is one that I support most often. What a pleasure to drink fresh, natural beer that actually tastes of something and not just p'water. BrewDog bar is the place to go if you want to try this beer for the first time. It is a down to earth bar with a great atmosphere and good place to meet fellow beer lovers. Head on down to BrewDog and work your way through their product menu. I particularly recommend Trashy Blond, Punk IPA and if you want a challenge then why not try the Sink The Bismarck! which is a whopping 41%?!?!?! read more

An Edinburgh staple! Great food and drinks (can be strong) with witty names. The atmosphere is incredible. Who can turn down a pint, some food, and game of Jenga here? I wish I could find their brews internationally, though! read more

Best bar in town. Great staff. Great beer, and great pizza! The barstaffs experience and knowledge of beer is a great source for you to challenge your beer loving tastebuds read more

this place is now officially my favourite bar in Edinburgh, Great beer, awesome friendly staff overall a great great bar Totally check it out it's AMAZING!!! read more

Very cool in principle, but they have a few kinks to work out. We asked for a couple things they were out of, or weren't available while we were there. Brevity is usually the best policy , however this was too extreme. There were about four choices of food items on the menu, 5 or 6 would have been enough. Their one really truly redeeming quality was almost continuous stream of Bob Dylan music. read more

BrewDog Edinburgh - Awesome flow chart - Pubs Near Me - Edinburgh, EDH

Brewdog is great, hands down one of the best bars in Edinburgh for anyone who is passionate about beer. The bar is fairly new (opened in 2011) with quite an industrial feel to the decor, lots of hip people hang out here as well as beer geeks like me. They usually have 8 beers on tap (or is it 10?), half of them Brewdog beers, half of them guest beers from other find craft breweries all over the world. As well as tap beers they have a good selection of bottled beers, Brewdog's own as well as top notch offerings from America, Sweden, Belgium and Japan. Really love these Brewdog offerings: 5AM Saint Hardcore IPA, Dogma, Rip Tide, Tokyo. For guest/bottle beers try anything by Baird Brewing (American/Japanese couple's small craft brewery in Japan), Stone Brewing (USA) and Hitachinoko (Japan) as well as Mikellor) and you'll be in for a treat. Also recommend you try some barely wine (Mikellor I think is the brewer) and the food is also pretty tasty. Pizza and beer, nice. read more

I had heard a lot of good things about the IPA and had a flight. Punk IPA and the Elvis were both pretty good. If you are an IPA lover these are both solid options. Another group member tried the cloud water and it may be the best choice in the bunch. read more

BrewDog Edinburgh - Pubs Near Me - Edinburgh, EDH

Went here with my friends. Place was packed. There beer and drinks were amazing. The food here is great as well.

This place was hands down the best bar I went to in the UK. The beer selection was great and the bartender was very knowledgeable. Ended up giving us the equivalent of a flight in samples before we choose our beers. The craft brews were exactly that - carefully crafted. Great flavour. I tend to like darker brews - porters and stouts - but even their light varieties had great taste. Just wish I had more time to come back and sample their seasonals! read more

This is a place for beer lovers - they have an amazing, always changing list (according to what they've been brewing up, ex. the IPA is Dead set which plays with single-hops so you can really taste the flavor of each one). Guys behind the bar, naturally, are super knowledgeable beer geeks. They also have some guest drafts from other breweries they admire. The place is lively (though competitive! jump on that booth as soon as you see someone make a motion for their bag) and there are boardgames galore to play. What's not to love? read more
