Dedicated to George Heriot, the founder of Heriot’s school, The Jinglin Geordie is located half way up the Fleshmarket Steps opposite the Market Street exit to Railway station, The Jinglin’ Geordie is a homely, cosy pub with an intimate atmosphere. When I have visited The Jinglin’ Geordie, it has generally been quiet, but it is popular when important sporting events are on the tv, especially the rugby! There are a few real ales on sale, but I have never seen any food served here.

I’m a fan! It’s down Fleshmarket Close, or up Fleshmarket Close depending on your starting point. As such, you can stop in for a pint on the way up and tell yourself«it’s because it’s a nice pub!» rather than the more truthful«I’m knackered already and I need a sit down» that usually happens. The staff are friendly, the prices are reasonable, the atmosphere is standard Edinburgh quiet-ish pub. There’s not a lot of difference between this and say, a dozen other pubs in the city centre, bar the location — but I always pop in. It has that homely feel to it. Give it a go!

Geordie still rates four stars. As I had remarked in my earlier review, we returned to Edinburgh this month and made the promised return to Jingin’ Geordie. The place was jumping, since the European Team was stomping the U.S. Team at the Ryder Cup matches. We were welcomed warmly, and one of the ladies on the staff remembered me from last year. She then introduced me to John’s son, who is the very image of his father, whom I met last year. Again, our experience at Jinglin’ Geordie was one of the highlights of our Scotland visit. Shall we try for 3 years in a row???

Famous pub, because of a well known photo of George Best taken here, with a fair few empty glasses in front of him. The pub is alright and they were doing a couple of Caledonian Beers, the ever present Deuchars and Autumn Red. They seemed in good nick. Named after the pirate of legend? I would have liked that. The truth. much less interesting it is apparently named after a goldsmith.
