Edinburgh Pub Guide: Clever Dick's (Whiski)

Clever Dick's (now Whiski Bar & Restaurant)

Clever Dick's is one of three pubs close together on the north side of the High Street section of Edinburgh's Royal Mile. Its two near neighbours are the Royal Mile and the Mitre. Since this page was produced, Clever Dick's has been reborn as "Whiski Bar & Restaurant": a more comprehensive update of this page will follow a forthcoming revisit.

The interior of Clever Dicks has a strongly gothic style and is great fun. It is dedicated to great Scottish inventors, and images and artefacts relating to them are everywhere.
