You can find us located 'Halfway' up Fleshmarket Close, metres away from the Market Street entrance to Waverley train station. We can also be accessed from the top of Fleshmarket Close from Cockburn Street, just off the Royal Mile. The Halfway House offers a homely, historic and perhaps most importantly, friendly atmosphere where all are welcome. Here at the Halfway House, you'll find Real Cask Al

es available daily, including guest ales from local breweries. We have beers and lagers on draught as well as a variety of chilled bottled products. If ales or beer aren't for you, we have a wide selection of delicious Whiskies from every corner of Scotland for you to try as well as many other spirits and liquers from around the country. Along with providing quality drinks to our customers, we offer locally sourced bar snacks. A selection of fresh hot Scottish pies every day from the Broughton Market Butchers. We do not offer table reservations unfortunately due to the size of our premises. We look forward to welcoming you to oor wee Halfway Hoose! For all queries, please contact the manager at:
Alternatively, you can call 0131 225 7101 for any information you may require.

For those that don't know yet CAMRA - the Campaign for Real Ale has listed The Halfway House in their Good Beer Guide 2025! It's not always easy to stand out, especially in Edinburgh, a great city with so many great pubs, so we are delighted to be included. We'll keep the ale flowing and hopefully it won't be the last time you see us in among the best in the UK!
