Fiddler's Arms, Traditional pub and restaurant in Old Town, Edinburgh, Scotland

Fiddler's Arms is a pub and restaurant located in Edinburgh's Old Town with wooden floors, a wooden bar, and stone walls throughout. The ceiling displays colorful beer taps and national flags as decoration.

The venue originally operated under the name Bar Alba before becoming the establishment it is today. This transformation reflects how the space adapted its purpose over time.

Scottish dishes sit alongside creative modern meals, giving visitors a taste of both traditional and contemporary food. The kitchen prepares classics like haggis and invents new versions of familiar foods for different dietary choices.

The pub opens at noon and closes at midnight from Sunday through Wednesday, with later closing times until 1 AM on weekends. Plan your visit accordingly if you want to experience the place during busier evening hours.

The dessert menu features a refined take on the classic Deep Fried Mars Bar with ice cream, cream, raspberries, and chocolate sauce. This dish transforms a popular Scottish street food into a plated dessert experience.
