Milnes Bar

The Milnes Bar is a treasure of a pub in Edinburgh Pay a visit to Milnes Bar, a historic literary hub in Edinburgh that’s been going since 1910.

Nestled in the city centre, our pub is a symbol of rich literary heritage. You’ll find an array of cask ales, global craft beers, and a menu featuring dozens of single-malt Scottish whiskies. It’s not all books and literary folklore, as our pub caters to sports fans with Sky Sports and TNT Sports, as well as hosting LIVE music acts. The outdoor area and beer garden is the top choice for al fresco
