Notice: As venues recover following the coronavirus lockdown period they need your support more than ever. But please be aware that only outside spaces will be open, opening hours may be different to those displayed here, and some venues may be yet to re-open at all. Before visiting any venue, we strongly advise you to check its website or social media, or get in touch with them first to avoid disappointment. Venues that are marked as having beer gardens are not guaranteed to be open, and some venues that don't have a beer garden may be able to open using other outside space.
If you see any details here that need updating, please let us know by submitting feedback on the pub.

About the Pub
Situated between two graveyards, the name Diggers became synonymous with this Edinburgh pub legend, which opened in 1897. Banquette seating lines the walls, and a compass drawing in the floor aids the geographically challenged. Two smaller back rooms, where children are allowed if eating, have further seating and the larger has a dartboard.
Quieter now than in its heyday, though packed when Hearts are at home, it continues to extend a warm welcome to locals and visitors alike. Outstanding pies!
NOTE: Return Trays (Autovacs) are only used for the real ales served by tall fount.
