The Ensign Ewart
Traditional Scottish Bar
The Ensign Ewart is the nearest pub to Edinburgh Castle, Scotland's premier tourist attraction. The Ensign offers a huge amount of character in a building which in part (the cellars) can be dated back to 1603, and which has stood on Lawnmarket (one of the differently named streets that together make up the "Royal Mile") resembling its current form since 1690.

Smokey, smooth and everything inbetween, our extensive range of malt whiskys are not to be missed. Enjoy one of our hugely popular traditional ales or indulge in a cold lager. We have ciders, a fine selection of wine, spirits and a host of soft drinks
