Owned by the same Walker family dynasty since it opened its doors in the 1920s, this wonderful traditional- eccentric watering hole, complete with original taxidermy crocodiles hanging behind the bar and eclectic Festival fringe fliers from years gone by adorning the ceiling, is one of the Capital's iconic and much loved pubs. Not least due to it playing host to a number of famous patrons, showmen and musicians of recent times...Some of whom still take centre stage in our toilets, should you care to pull up a pew.
Standing on the site of the 16th century Old Flodden Wall and tucked away just off the Royal Mile, the Waverley Bar is steeped in history from its foundations up. From street level, the original Victorian 1891 exterior sets this bar apart from its neighbouring craft beer bars, chain eateries and modern look contemporaries with its smart unassuming black and white frontage, arched barley twist mullions and deep dental cornicing, flanked by Bacchus the God of Wine. It certainly hints at least at the possibility of something rather unique inside.
The talented singer songwriter and author Wesley Stace (aka John Wesley Harding) makes his first live appearance in Edinburgh for 15 years at The Waverley Bar on Sunday 26th May!
