Muchas turistas, and an annoying barman trying to promote Laphroaig as if only he had ever heard about it. An unsatisfying mixture of old beams and new fittings. Could be worse, could be a lot better.

What a shame. This used to be a nice authentic Edinburgh pub with dark wood and an open fire but the place has gone through a make-over making it feel like a souless boozer...

Was really looking forward to my visit after reading some good reviews. The Jolly Judge was my least favorite pub visited during my stay in Edinburgh. The beer/ale selection was poor and the smell was so awful inside the bar area I wondered was poor soul died in there the week before, and I don't think it was a temporary smell. Real shame, seems like it had great potential.

Ace little place that is very welcoming and relaxing, provided you are free from the scourge of Hen and Stag dos... One group of them can take over the whole place.

Lovely wee hidden away gem. Lived in Edinburgh for years and only found this through a guided tour (Edinburgh Literary pub tour - highly recommended). Lots of history to it - ask about beams on the ceiling (came from an old ship and are painted in original colours).
