About the Pub

Situated between two graveyards, the name Diggers became synonymous with this welcoming 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.
