Great place near central EdinburghThe mussels were great and plenty in an order. Very good beer and whiskey selection. You have to order at the bar which is tough if many people are ordering beers.

The beer is decent 4 star. The service is a transactional 3 star. This is a first in all my reviews.....the pub itself is utterly jaw dropping push to a must visit 5 star. Utterly beautiful. Extravagant Victorian Scotland. Architecture at its best. Wow!

Fantastic pub off the beaten path!It's worth it just to see the place, but they have plenty on tap to fit any taste.We didn't make it in time for food, the kitchen closes at 9pm, but the menu did look good.

My visit to the Guildford Arms was nothing short of fantastic. The fish chowder was a delightful burst of flavor, loaded with generous, chunky fish pieces. The chicken stuffed with haggis and wrapped in bacon was amazing. Paul, our server, was incredibly polite and impeccably presented, enhancing our overall dining experience.Not only was my experience exceptional, but my friends also thoroughly enjoyed their starters. The smoked mackerel pate and the chorizo and goat's cheese turnover were a hit with them. The Guildford Arms truly caters to a diverse range of tastes, making it an even more appealing choice for a memorable dining experience.What impressed me even more was their extensive selection of beers and ciders, catering to a variety of tastes. I wholeheartedly recommend the Guildford Arms for both beer enthusiasts and those seeking excellent food. A must-visit spot!

Gorgeous pub just off Princess Street. Very impressive decor, good choice of beers and whiskies. Well worth a visit.

I'm pretty sure the positive reviews are from people that either only drink there, or are hammered when they eat. There's obviously a reason they only have 10 tables in the dining" area. .Let's get the bad out of the way. The burger was bland

A traditional pub offering fine ales for the discerning drinker. You enter a bygone age of well kept beer served within a beautiful building with a vibrant atmosphere. It’s just how pubs should be.

The food was absolutely amazing, highly recommend the bangers and mash. The atmosphere was very cool as well! Dining area is situated above the rest of the pub.
