The World's End Edinburgh

The World's End is a historic pub steeped in character, located on the Royal Mile within the remnants of the 16th-century Flodden Wall. Its name harks back to a time when the city gates stood just outside, marking the boundary between Edinburgh and the unknown beyond.

Inside, the pub retains a traditional Scottish charm with low ceilings, dark wood paneling, and cosy nooks that create an intimate, old-world atmosphere. A small bar and dining area enhance the sense of authenticity, while brass cobbles outside mark the original city gate location.

The pub's unique selling point lies in its deep historical roots and dedication to classic Scottish hospitality. It serves hearty, traditional fare such as Cullen Skink, Steak & Ale Pie, and its renowned Fish & Chips, alongside a robust selection of cask ales and Scottish whiskies.

Owned by Belhaven, one of Scotland’s oldest breweries, The World's End has earned a Travelers’ Choice Award from Tripadvisor, placing it among the top-rated destinations in the city. Live music on weekends adds to its vibrant, community-focused appeal, making it a must-visit for both locals and tourists seeking a genuine taste of Scotland.
