The Boozy Cow is an independent local bar and restaurant at 17 Frederick Street in central Edinburgh. The setting is deliberately informal and energetic, pairing a lively bar atmosphere with food designed for relaxed lunches, casual dinners and groups. Its city centre location makes it convenient for both a planned meal and a spontaneous stop over drinks.
Burgers are the centre of the menu, made with Scotch beef and available with an upgrade to Highland Wagyu. Chicken and plant based alternatives broaden the choice, while loaded fries, wings, toasties and salads give diners several routes beyond a classic burger. Bold sauces, melted cheese and smoky flavours keep the cooking firmly in the realm of generous comfort food.
The menu includes plant based choices as well as smaller lunch combinations, and indulgent desserts such as sundaes, waffles and churros continue its playful style. Ingredients and preparation can change, so guests with allergies should speak directly with the team before ordering. The format is especially well suited to sharing sides and building an unfussy meal around individual preferences.
Milkshakes are a signature companion to the food, joined by cocktails, cold beer and alcohol free choices. Service runs from daytime into the evening seven days a week, giving the restaurant a flexible rhythm across the week. The Boozy Cow brings locally sourced produce, substantial burgers and an irreverent bar personality together under one roof.
