Don't be fooled by the catchy names of these pubs. The places are indeed very welcoming, the staff is extremely nice, and the atmosphere promises a totally relaxing time. I enjoyed the decoration at Bad Ass, with comfy leather couches and plenty on the walls to look at! It is great to go to with your friends!

This is a group of three different bar/restaurants: Dirty Dick's and the Bad Ass located next to each other on Rose Street and Clever Dick's located on High Street (the Royal Mile.) I must admit I was a little put off by the names at first, we first visited Dirty's Dicks for dinner and drinks. The ceiling and lighting are low and the tables and walls are lit with candles providing a very homey relaxed atmosphere. There's lots of interesting bric-a-brac on the walls. The food is high quality we ate there a couple of times and I had a great haddock. Its a nice place to sit down by the fire for a couple of drinks without dinner as well, a nice break from standing up at the bar as in many other pubs. The other two places have similar atmospheres, Clever Dick's on the Royal Mile provides a good place to have a quiet drink while taking a break from sightseeing in the area.
