'Iconic' Scottish pub in Edinburgh reopens in time for Fringe after refurbishment

AN "iconic" Scottish pub in Edinburgh has reopened following a four-week refurbishment in time for the Fringe.

Deacon Brodie’s Tavern has been given a facelift while also keeping its traditional look and feel inside.

Renowned for providing an authentic Scottish pub experience and built in 1806, the pub is named after one of the city’s most famous figures – Deacon William Brodie.

He’s considered to be one of the inspirations behind Robert Louis Stevenson’s Jekyll and Hyde.

General manager Taufiq Abdu said: “Deacon Brodie’s Tavern is an iconic Scottish pub, loved by guests from all over the world who visit us to experience our traditional tavern atmosphere.

“The restoration works undertaken, including painstakingly restoring our original decorative wooden ceiling ensure that our guests can continue to enjoy a wee dram or two with us for years to come.”

Guests will be able to enjoy a number of pub classics, including fish and chips, haggis, neeps and tatties as well as balmoral chicken.

There will also be an extensive drinks menu, boasting a wide selection of craft beers, ciders and new cocktails.
