Salt Horse Beer Shop & Bar
In the heart of the Old Town, Salt Horse is dual-purpose beer shop and bar with the business very much on message in terms of artisan food and drink. The bar space is not the biggest but it has the maximum number of small tables squeezed in, simple décor, lots of beer in bottles and cans, and a dozen rotating keg lines featuring breweries like Pilot of Leith, Kernel of London, Moor of Bristol, Thornbridge from Derbyshire and more. These are served in schooners (two-thirds of a pint) as is customary these days but with some beers reaching 7% abv and above, that’s no bad thing.
Foodwise, the kitchen has been offering great burgers and barbecue lately, courtesy of Jones & Son, like buttermilk chicken burgers, traditional cheeseburgers or panko-crusted mushroom with halloumi and chilli mayo for veggies.
There is no avoiding the H word when it comes to Salt Horse – what with its sipping glasses of strong craft beer, handmade burgers and ‘slaw – but as hipster venues go this is a good one. It’s seconds from the tourist noise of the Royal Mile and the staff actually care about the quality of the product.
Book Scotland Tours Early
Planning a trip to Scotland? Don’t let sold-out tours or packed attractions dampen your adventure. Iconic experiences like exploring Edinburgh Castle, cruising along Loch Ness, or wandering through the mystical Isle of Skye often fill up fast—especially during peak travel seasons.
Booking in advance holds your place on the popular summer tours, so your day goes on the castle walls and the loch shore, not in a ticket queue. It also leaves time for the quieter places most visitors drive straight past.
Make the most of your journey—start planning today and book the tours you most want to do.
