The Grapes is a characterful,
dog-friendly pub and bistro
in Edinburgh’s East Calder,
established in 1895. Notable
for its prepossessing decor,
the newly-refurbished Grapes
has a pleasant cosy vibe and
a great mix of customers,
with friendly staff on hand to
help slake your thirst or sate
your hunger. Tackling the
former first of all, the bar has
an impressive gantry and an
extensive gin menu for those
who want to sip Edinburgh gin
in an Edinburgh pub. There’s
also a healthy selection of
lagers, real ales and ciders on
draught, with a decent mix of
whiskies including Highland,
Speyside and Islay options.
Several large TV screens,
meanwhile, invariably play
sports such as football and
rugby. As for grub, the 2017
Certificate of Excellent should
indicate what you’re getting
and that’s quality. British
bistro pub fare is the order of
the day: steak and Guinness
pie, fish and chips, pork fillet,
etc. The Grapes is open
from 11am till midnight on
Thursdays, from 11am till 1am
on Fridays and Saturdays,
and from 11-11 Monday-
Wednesday and Sunday.
