This busy Grassmarket pub is at the heart of Edinburgh's nightlife. It's a cozy pub that's always packed to bursting. It's popular with locals and visitors alike. The name derives from the gallows which once stood nearby, where there were public executions back in the 18th century. It's a friendly place with a great selection of whisky and a decent wine list. You'll enjoy a taste of the sinister side of Edinburgh's past and the interesting interior, with low ceilings and lots of eye-catching decor is a lovely place to while away a few hours. You can also get a decent meal here.
