We LOVED Holyrood 9A. It is a little bit of a hidden gem on Holyrood Road, about a block off of the Royal Mile. The Service was outstanding. The staff took great care of us and checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. The food was well-prepared and tasty. We would go back there in a heartbeat!
Stopped in here for some lunch and I think their burgers might be the best in the world. The 9A was daunting in its appearance but one of the tastiest things I have ever eaten. The chorizo scotch egg was also on point! 100% would eat there again!
My second visit in 6 months. The first for lunch and most recently for dinner. Decidedly busier this time and the staff still made room for us in the back dining room. Lots of laughter and cheer in among the patrons a really happy pub to be in. I had the burger and my friend had the mushroom burger with bacon. Both cooked to perfection and seasoned well. Onion rings and chips were crunchy and flavorful. I can’t wait to go back.
We enjoyed our dinner and our server Finley was delightful and with great suggestions. I ordered the haggis bon bons, black and blue burger and an Irn Bru. All was delicious. Hubby went traditional with a 9A burger and a soda. he enjoyed it immensely. The French fries were excellent. We finished our meal with a coffee pudding with vanilla ice cream. Yummy.
This is nice pub in Edinburgh's old town. It has a dark decor featuring wood panelling. There's a good selection of craft beers and real ales. We were a bit puzzled at first as the bar didn't appear to have any fonts! Unusually they are on the wall behind the bar. The main food offered are gourmet burgers - my group had several different choices and were all happy with them. Table service is offered and the staff were all friendly.
The burgers are fantastic. If you're American and think you'd rather look for something you can't get at home don't ignore this place. The Scotsman or the Haggis burgers are definitely a distinctly Scottish take and both are delicious. Great food, great drinks, great atmosphere.
Tasty burgers and sides. The staff were very friendly and effective. Food was served promptly and nice and hot. Burgers not the best in town, but good for the money. First time I’ve been in there in a while, so nice to go back.
Very sympathetic pub. Off course dark brown. Very nice and kind service. They offer a lot of different beers. We were suggested to taste several beers (1/3 pints), which was a great idea. Also great with our beers was the burger they served. I had the bohemian (as that was how I felt at that moment). I recommend this pub for an easy, intimate and cozy experience.
