Deacon Brody's Travel Reviews

Jul 02, 2003

A delightful two-story pub/eatery on the Royal Mile with an intriguing background.  Deacon Brody was apparently a real life character who served as an elected official in Edinburgh and committed a broad array of atrocities...serving as the inspiration for Robert louis Stevenson's "Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde"!!!  We enjoyed lunch here during our first day in Edinburgh and this was where I gained exposure to haggis.  We would learn that the prices were reasonable compared to other venues on the Royal Mile, and the service was expedient and friendly!

Thanks to our enjoyed lunch, we returned the next evening for a few Guiness...and it is a lively night scene too!  The bartenders continued the jovial service and we were impressed that many of the patrons were locals...reinforcing this was an authentic cool place!

Nzelvis says: Most people are unaware that the entire city of Edinburgh was built above an older city that existed on the same site. Well, it's true. The undercity, as it is now called, was abandoned some 200 years ago. Some say the undercity was abandoned due to the plague that was raging through the area, bu...
