The Royal Oak, Folk music pub in Edinburgh, Scotland

The Royal Oak features wooden interiors, small tables, and a central bar counter where performers set up their instruments for evening concerts.

Through several decades of operation, The Royal Oak has remained at its original location, maintaining its position as a cornerstone of Edinburgh's music scene.

Musicians gather at The Royal Oak every evening to perform traditional Scottish folk songs, accompanied by fiddles, guitars, and accordions.

The Royal Oak opens daily from 4 PM until late, with live music sessions starting around 9 PM and continuing until closing time.

Local performers often invite audience members to join them on stage, creating spontaneous collaborations that extend into the early morning hours.
