Could you please teach me the musicians? A guy playing the guitar and the women playing the fiddle. They made my night in Edinburgh truly wonderful. The music, Scotch, along with the amazing atmosphere of this bar, has become an unforgettable memory in my life. I am truly grateful. Thank you so much. from Japan.

Great beer, but I had to leave after hearing puff didi, then Beyonce on the music system. Not my idea of fun

A beautiful pub in the centre of Edinburgh. Cosy and typical in style: lots of wood and not much light. The menu offers various local dishes, including vegetarian versions. Many beers on tap in the selection and plenty of whiskies.

Piaciuto molto! È la cosa più bella era vedere i gruppi di amici che ridevano e parlavano senza mai usare il cellulare! Consigliato!

Small, ancient pub. Great atmosphere with not many tourists despite the location. Wide selection of whiskies.

The Ensign Ewart was our 6th stop in a tour of over 17 pubs around Edinburgh. Here we sampled the Edinburgh Castle Stout and a 1/2 of Three Hop Beer. Good atmosphere and fitted well with our goal of finding the best of the edinburgh pubs for our tour.

Just the best scottish pub, with a very nice wisky selection and an amazing cozy ambiance, with live music. In a very touristic area but still authentic. Food is also quite nice for an easy and quick lunch

Fabulous, atmospheric wee pub. Pot of tea was served with a complimentary lovely square of Scottish table. So good abd a very nice touch especially for tourists who may have never tried it before. A great pub full of history and great music in the evenings.

Música (instrumental en acústico) en vivo todos los días a las 9. Céntrico aunque un lugar no muy grande, nos fue imposible encontrar mesa.
