Maggie Dicksons - Edinburgh

The hired was very nice. I didn't try whisky before and he patiently helped me try. I have the same toshan 12. I tried haggisburger for the first time. I'm sure it's something else. happy with my experience.

We originally came in here after we had heard about the history regarding Maggie Dicksons, if you don't know about her yet then definitely Google! Lovely quaint tavern as I like to call them. Great atmosphere, very friendly staff . We sat for an hour and a half having drinks and just able to sit and chill. However they do, do food as well. Highly recommended.

Haggis with mashed potatoes and pepper sauce, SO GOOD

Haggis neeps and tatties introduced to our American cousins. A little bit to much pepper but tasted superb all the same. The lassie working the bar was the hostess with the mostess and dealt with the unruly transatlantic drunks with poise and professionalism.

Was having a lovely day out with the wife until we got here. They offer a cocktail called the **** Maggie, very similar to the Mary but it is advertised to also come with a Port float. The cocktail was made and put in front of me but I'd seen it made and there was no port float. I asked and was told they didn't have any Port. And this is where it gets weird. I said that's OK, I'll just take another shot of vodka. At this point the lady stormed off muttering that she'd check in the back of they had any Port. Came back and said no, they didn't have any. I repeated that is be happy with another shot of vodka to make up the shortfall for what I'd paid for only to be told that would be illegal (it isn't AFAIK). Then said that she'd give me a new drink if I wasn't happy and at this point I said yes, I'll have a pint of Guinness. Even weirder now.. She refunds me the money for the cocktail and gives me my Guinness. I offer to pay for the Guinness but she won't take it (this is appreciated) but did seem to contradict the illegal statement earlier. We drank quickish and leave.
