Historic Grassmarket pub with lively vibe, solid Scottish staples, friendly bar-led service, and occasional service/cleanliness inconsistencies; good value for central Edinburgh.
The Last Drop delivers reliable Scottish pub dining anchored by exceptional historic atmosphere in Edinburgh's Grassmarket. Food quality is solid with standout dishes like Crofter's Pie and schnitzel, though consistency shows occasional variation and hygiene concerns surface sporadically. Service remains uneven—friendly and quick at best, occasionally curt—preventing the higher grades that exceptional execution would command.
One caveat: Seating rules for dining area can frustrate guests just wanting drinks
