The Auld Hoose

The Auld Hoose is a well-loved local pub on Edinburgh's Southside, known for its lively atmosphere, generous portions and relaxed vibe.

Dogs are welcome inside, making it a genuine option for dog owners looking to keep their dog with them over a drink or meal without the car-park sprint. The location is convenient for anyone based around the Meadows, the university area or approaching via Holyrood—close enough for a proper session without the trek into the city centre. The pub sits on St Leonard's Street, where street parking is the most likely option for getting a vehicle nearby.

It's the kind of place that works best when you're not in a rush: settle in, let your dog get comfortable on the floor and enjoy the kind of pub that doesn't make dog owners feel like they're squeezing in uninvited.
