The Advocate is a great spot for after-dinner drinks in Edinburgh. No frills, reasonably priced, and perfect for a casual hangout. Lively vibe with a good selection of drinks, ideal for a relaxed night out.
Stop for a pint at the Advocate, a charming pub in Edinburgh's old town. By day we're a relaxing pub attracting locals, office workers, and tourists. You can enjoy a pint of Belhaven Best or some classic pub grub. Once the sun goes down, the sounds of live music take over. Artists like Martin Andrews and Mike Patterson often take to the stage here. And with a capacity of 206, the atmosphere often gets pretty lively. This unique venue became a pub in the 90s. Sports fans are well catered to, with Sky Sports and TNT Sports while four-legged friends are always welcome – who doesn’t love a dog-friendly pub? Head to our beer garden when the sun’s out and don’t forget to make use of the free WiFi.
