The Royal Dick is a distinctive pub and restaurant in the central courtyard of Summerhall, the Edinburgh arts venue at 1 Summerhall. Its eclectic rooms, large beer garden and setting in the former Royal Dick Veterinary School give it a character that feels closely connected to the building’s history and creative life.
The kitchen serves pub-style food from Tuesday to Sunday, supported by changing weekly specials and daily offers. The format is suited to a relaxed lunch or evening meal, while the Sunday roast gives the venue a more traditional weekend focus.
Drinks are a particularly local feature because beer and gin are made on site at Summerhall. That connection with the venue’s own producers sits alongside the broader bar list and makes The Royal Dick an appealing stop for diners who also want to explore Edinburgh-made drinks.
The courtyard and beer garden accommodate informal get-togethers, and accompanied children are welcome until the evening cutoff. Dogs are welcome and a ramped entrance is available via Summerhall Square; guests with allergies should check the current menu and preparation details directly with staff.
Address: 1 Summerhall, Edinburgh EH9 1PL, Scotland
