Brewhemia is a large beer palace, restaurant and entertainment venue at 1A Market Street beside Edinburgh Waverley station. Several distinct rooms include a caffè, taproom, prosecco bar and the main Beer Palace, allowing breakfast, dinner and live performances to happen under one roof. The atmosphere becomes increasingly theatrical as bands, cabaret and DJs take over the stage.
Locally sourced Scottish produce is combined with ideas from Alpine and wider European cooking. Haggis, beer battered haddock and Scottish beef share the menu with schnitzel, sausages, spätzle and pretzels. Seasonal dishes, a complete breakfast service and Sunday roasts give the kitchen more depth than simple bar snacks.
Vegetarian and vegan options include plant based haggis, vegetable bowls and dishes adapted from the Alpine selection. Desserts draw on warm puddings, chocolate, coffee and fruit, providing a natural finish to the richer savoury food. Guests with allergies should use the current allergen information and tell the team before ordering because menus change with the seasons.
Twelve copper tanks hold unpasteurised and unfiltered beer delivered from Czech and Scottish brewers. Cocktails, spritzes, wine, gin and whisky add a wide alternative drinks range. Brewhemia’s appeal comes from combining serious beer, hearty food and ambitious live entertainment in a venue large enough to make every visit feel like an event.
