Teuchters Bar & Bunker is an independently run freehouse at 26 William Street in Edinburgh’s West End. The cosy pub has served locals and rugby supporters for almost twenty five years, with the downstairs bunker adding extra space for food and gatherings. Its position between Princes Street and Haymarket makes it convenient without losing a neighbourhood feel.
Scottish comfort food gives the menu its identity. Cullen skink, haggis with neeps and tatties, steak pie, sausage and mash and fish and chips sit beside burgers and salads. Fresh fish and shellfish are sourced through a Newhaven fishmonger, supporting dishes such as mussels, smoked salmon salad and a substantial fish pie.
Vegan haggis, plant based sausages and vegetable salads provide complete meat free alternatives. Portions range from smaller mugs and pies to larger plates, which suits both a quick bar meal and a longer dinner. Dietary requirements should be discussed with staff because the kitchen works with fish, dairy, gluten and other major allergens.
Around 140 single malt whiskies form the centrepiece of the bar, joined by permanent and rotating Scottish cask and keg beers. Wine, gin, rum, port and soft drinks ensure the selection is not limited to whisky enthusiasts. Teuchters combines a serious drinks programme with robust Scottish food that feels naturally at home in a traditional freehouse.
