You want Scottish classics and live music in a cosy, unpretentious room where a reservation is essential for dinner.
About The Auld Hundred
Bare stone walls downstairs, an intimate dining room above — this is the kind of old-school Scottish pub that Stockbridge does better than anywhere else in Edinburgh. The food is exactly what it should be: haggis, fish and chips, and steak pie are the dishes people keep coming back for, with the whisky sauce earning its own following. Portions are serious — the fish alone has stopped more than one visitor mid-sentence. Book ahead for the upstairs room; it fills, and walk-ins at the bar are a gamble on a busy night. Live music runs through the week on the ground floor, keeping the atmosphere lively without tipping into noise. The mix of locals and visitors feels natural rather than managed, and the service, at its best, makes the whole thing click.
The Auld Hundred is the neighbourhood spot done right — unhurried, unpretentious, with a wine list that gives it an edge over most of its category.
In the last 90 days, The Auld Hundred has drawn 38 substantial written reviews (50+ characters of genuine feedback) — recent momentum that is one of the signals behind its place on the hot list.
