Really good atmosphere in this place. Staff are great. Haven't tried the food but I hear that it's good. Live music in the evenings and a good quality of acts. Highly recommend.

This Irish pub is very much a pub with food. The food is not their main reason to serve - its very peripheral to the alcohol. Service is awful and slow, but the food we had for lunch, when it came was on - nothing amazing, but not bad.

I have been to this bar hundreds of times and really love the atmosphere. Its a great place and somewhere I go every time I go for a beer in Edinburgh. There is only one down side to it.....the door staff. I would prefer some honesty when refused from a bar. Along with 5 friends, male and female we got... More

We had a great saturday afternoon in this pub on a stag saturday. A full breakfast started the day off well. Cooked nicely and not too big a portion. Good coffee to go with it and the hangover was sorted. Good selection of beers and nice outdoor seating to enjoy the rare sunshine. Some staff not overly friendly but not... More

While on our recent trip of the UK, one of my bucketlist things was fish n chips. We asked where we were staying where to get good ones were, and Biddy Mulligans was recommended. We had already popped in once that day to grab a much needed pint before the Scotland v. Ireland six nations game. The place was packed... More

Visited here for a lunch on Saturday 6th April during our visit to Edinburgh. It didn't look THAT busy upon arrival so thought we would have a quick bite and be in and out and back onto the Grassamarket within the hour. WRONG! It took the best part of an hour to get 4 burgers (not cheap at £8 each),... More

Loved the look and feel of the place. Specials board outside was a little misleading. It stated 'student recommendations' (which can be read in different ways) and listed a bunch of meals all at £5. We got menus inside and almost double the prices and we were told that the £5 meals were only available for students. So we drank... More

Dear Customer, Thanks for taking the time to review your recent visit to Biddys. I am sorry you found the board mis-leading. Student Recommended or SR, is a recommendation App for students packed with deals on food and drinks and unfortunately, isn't available to anyone who is not a student.
