Nestled in the heart of Edinburgh’s historic Old Town on the Royal Mile, surrounded by some of the city’s most iconic heritage landmarks, The Parliament Arms is a warm and welcoming Scottish Pub & Kitchen celebrating traditional Scottish hospitality and the long‑standing pub culture of the Royal Mile.

Here, classic pub charm meets hearty, home‑cooked dining, with a menu inspired by Scotland’s natural larder. Whether you’re an Old Town local, a local tourist from the Dear Green Place, or you’re visiting from further afield, you’ll always be welcome in The Parliament Arms.

Night view of the exterior of The Parliament Arms pub, featuring wooden paneling, a sign with the pub's name, and decorative black lamps.

Step inside our timber interiors and find cosy booth seating, and a classic bar stocked with single malts, local ales, and Scottish spirits - the perfect backdrop for relaxed dining, friendly gatherings, and a taste of Scotland in the capital.

From Cullen Skink and haggis favourites to our signature home‑made pies, or refined Scottish seafood and game, every dish is crafted with locally-sourced produce and our passion for delicious food.
