Kilderkin

From its location to its choice of pizza toppings, Kilderkin is slightly odd but pretty great. Initial impressions are of a slightly dodgy boozer, with its dim lighting, basic decor and unprepossessing exterior. Inside, however, you’ll find one of Edinburgh’s best selections of rum, an excellent range of whiskies, some good beers and even a few cocktails, all served by knowledgeable, upbeat staff. The daytime menu of burgers, haggis and sausages gives way to hand-made, stone-baked pizzas in the evening. Toppings include bison, crocodile, curry sauce or even a full cooked breakfast. Whether genius or insane, the ingredients are decent quality, the bases crisp and there are some more mainstream options as well. The line-up of regular events helps ensure an evening here is a different and enjoyable experience.
