The Last Drop is a historic pub and restaurant on the Grassmarket in Edinburgh’s Old Town. Its name and setting recall the public executions once held in the square, giving the venue a dark piece of local history alongside views of one of the city’s liveliest streets. The informal room welcomes meals, drinks and casual visits throughout the day.
British pub classics provide the substance of the menu, with handmade pies, fish and chips, burgers and warming mains. Scottish dishes and ingredients add a clear sense of place rather than treating the Grassmarket location as decoration alone. Sandwiches and smaller plates also make the pub useful for a quicker daytime meal.
Vegetarian and vegan filters help diners find suitable dishes on the live menu, while puddings supply a familiar finish after the richer savoury food. Recipes and availability can vary during the Edinburgh festivals and other especially busy periods. Guests with allergies should therefore check the current information with the team before ordering.
Cask ale is a natural partner for the pies and pub food, supported by whisky, gin, wine, lager and alcohol free drinks. The venue is equally suited to one drink and a full dinner. The Last Drop’s appeal comes from the combination of Old Town atmosphere, an accessible menu and the easy sociability of a traditional city pub.
