Welcome

Welcome

The Bow Bar is a free house situated in the heart of Edinburgh's old town. We're perfectly located for an escape from the bustle of the city centre, tucked away in a side-street a stone's throw from the Castle and the Royal Mile and an easy five minutes – mostly downhill! – to Waverley train station.

Wood panelling, rare brewery mirrors, old style railway carriage tables and a whiskey gantry salvaged from an old church give the place a traditional atmosphere, which is enhanced by the absense of jukeboxes, gaming machines and music.

There has been a pub on the site for decades, the most recent incarnation starting in 1987, when Ian Whyte refurbished it in its present style.
