Welcome to The Hanging Bat, Edinburgh's original craft beer bar.
We offer more than twenty draught beers & ales on tap and over a hundred
local & international bottled beers.


























Our spirit selection, fluid in its ever-changing nature, showcases local artisanal and independent distilleries, including a unique mixture of gins, whisky, bourbons, mezcals and liqueurs - all handpicked to satisfy our curious human nature, as well as provide comfort in what we know and love. Our wine selection is unique and dynamic, allowing a fresh, new experience upon every visit whilst keeping known favourites always available.

The Hanging Bat’s kitchen pours their heart and soul into a small, unique and diverse menu, made from scratch, in-house - starring Fish and Chips, home-made beef stew, our famous Hanging Bat nachos – with haggis as a topping if you so please, and our award-winning Chilli Con Carne, catering to people from all walks of life, with vegetarian and vegan options available, assuring there is something for everyone.

The onsite brewery produces weird and wonderful ales, our staff – experienced and knowledgeable strive to provide every customer with a unique tailored experience for every individual or party that walks through our doors.
