The Auld Hundred

About

The Auld Hundred is one of Edinburgh’s oldest and most beloved pubs, tucked into a historic mission hall that dates back to the 1800s. Nestled in the heart of the city’s New Town, the venue offers an unrivaled blend of traditional Scottish cuisine, an eclectic drinks menu featuring over 100 local whiskies, and a lively atmosphere that keeps visitors coming back. The downstairs bar welcomes guests for pint‑time, while the cosy upstairs restaurant hosts a full-service menu from 12 pm to 9 pm, making it an ideal spot for a mid‑day meal or a late‑night bite. One of the pub’s signature draws is its music program: local musicians fill the venue Monday–Saturday from 9 pm and beyond, while open‑mic evenings on Sunday from 8–11 pm provide a platform for budding talent. The welcoming bar, a relaxed space for whisky connoisseurs and beer lovers alike, is also dog‑friendly and accepts children up to 17 (with adult accompaniment). For those looking to secure a table or explore the pub’s extensive menu, reservations can be made online for the upstairs restaurant – walk‑ins are welcome for the bar. Whether you’re a history buff, a foodie, a family on a night out, or simply in the mood for a living‑music experience, The Auld Hundred delivers a warm Scottish hospitality experience that encapsulates the spirit of Edinburgh’s pub culture.
