text: I feel as a local I should give Deacon Brodies two stars based on it is ridiculously expensive drinks poor food and bad chat from the staff As well as the fact it is always packed with tourists so it takes forever to get servednnIf I was a tourist I would love this place Scottish themed as is every pub in the Royal Mile with fish and chips and haggis on the menu this offers everything tourists want from a bar in Edinburgh If you are looking for an authentic good pub experience then you need to get away from Deacon Brodies and the Royal MilennI do enjoy the story on the menu though
