The Grassmarket hasn't always been the colourful, bustling tourist destination it is today. It was once quite a gruesome place, where countless public executions took place. However, since the Beehive Inn emerged as the Beehive Hotel during the 19th century, it has stood as a warm and welcoming haven for weary travellers, loyal locals and those in need of a hearty pub meal.
We believe quality time is well spent with good food and great company, which is why you’ll find a fantastic range of pub food, including snacks, sharers, starters, sandwiches, mains and puddings made for every moment, whether that’s a quick working lunch or a slow evening meal.
