Ryrie’s Bar — Restaurant in City of Edinburgh

We came here at the suggestion of our host in Edinburgh, and we’re sure glad we did! I’m pretty sure we were the only non-locals there which seemed kind of unusual, since it’s in the middle of the Haymarket area just across from Haymarket station.

Apparently, the bar has been there for quite some time, before the station was even built. The atmosphere is great, the service was, friendly and the food is outstanding.

My friend and myself called into Ryrie's on our way to station. We had been through a difficult emotional day....😢 The manager on duty had such caring and understanding towards us inspite of the fact he had never met us. He reached out and listened to us. I was paying for our drinks and he immediately said 'you have had a difficult day, the drinks are from me. Our day was in relation to covid bereavement.....thankyou sincerely for your kindness beautiful caring young man. You will never know just how much this meant. I regard you and your bar top class and would recommend it 💯 %. You didn't have to do this but you did......it meant so much to us. Thankyou sincerely.......an amazing young man managing an amazing bar. Please visit, the warmth and care...
