About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Great for creative cocktails

We’re all about bold burgers, dirty fries, outrageous milkshakes, and cocktails that taste just as good as they look.

At Boozy Cow, we keep it fresh with locally sourced ingredients and a whole lot of love – we know you’ll be as obsessed with our food as we are. Head down the stairs into our punk rock-inspired dive bar, where the 90s vibes are loud and proud, and good times come as standard.

We don’t take ourselves too seriously, but we’re seriously good at what we do – and our crew is always on hand to make sure you have a blast.

🔥 Think you can handle it? Take on our Burger Challenge – not for the faint-hearted. Big appetite, big glory. Are you up for it?

    Very disappointed with our experience. Food and service was average at best. Despite it being 3 days before Christmas, it felt more like Halloween! Wouldn't waste my time or money on return visit.

    After visiting for the first time with my husband in September I had to bring a friend when we came to Edinburgh for a day trip! The food is insane, no longer waits and all the staff were super friendly and tentative despite it being packed due to the turn in the weather! If I come back to Edinburgh again I'll be booking again as I need to try more of the menu!
    Boozy CowResponded on December 15, 2025
    Your positive feedback means everything! So happy you brought a friend and loved our insane food and friendly staff despite the busy day!

    The staff were very friendly and the service was good. Our burgers were very dry and both of us left over half of them without the staff asking if there was any issues with the food (we didn’t flag this at the time to them) the chips were very good though. Wouldn’t go back or recommend
    Boozy CowResponded on December 12, 2025
    It's unfortunate to hear about your experience with the burgers, but we're glad you enjoyed the chips. Your feedback helps us improve - please reach out to us on bcemanagement@signaturepubscouk

FAQs

Partly, Boozy Cow allows children aged 6–17 until 11pm but does not permit under‑5s. The atmosphere is lively and can be noisy, and there’s no children’s menu mentioned, so it’s best for families with older kids who are comfortable in a busy bar setting.

Boozy Cow is busiest on weekend evenings, during festival weekends and quiz nights, those times bring a loud, buzzing crowd. The quietest times are early weekday lunches and early weekday evenings; if you prefer a calmer visit, aim for midweek or book an early table.

Partly, Boozy Cow welcomes families with older children (6–17 allowed until 11pm) but it’s not suited to very young children (no under‑5s). The space is described as compact with closely packed tables, so accessibility and roomy family seating can be limited; if you need special seating or accessibility help, call ahead so staff can advise and accommodate where possible.

The Boozy Cow is lively, fun and a little rowdy, think 90s punk dive bar with upbeat music, bold decor and a buzzy crowd. Guests frequently praise the vibe, energetic atmosphere and friendly staff, though it can be noisy and crowded on peak nights.

For a lively night out, go on weekend evenings, quiz nights or festival weekends when the venue buzzes. For a quieter meal and more relaxed service, aim for early weekday lunches or early weekday evenings. If you want to avoid queues and noise, book ahead and avoid peak weekend slots.

Yes, Boozy Cow welcomes bookings for food or drinks and is happy to help with celebrations and larger groups; guests describe staff arranging birthday treats and accommodating special occasions. For specific requests (dietary needs, accessibility, private tables or group bookings over eight), call the venue ahead so the team can prepare.

Boozy Cow is a compact, downstairs punk‑rock dive bar with bar seating and closely spaced tables; there’s a small side area and high‑top tables mentioned by guests. The venue accepts private parties and larger bookings (contact them directly for group arrangements or private hires).

Casual dress, Boozy Cow is a relaxed burger-and-cocktail dive bar, so come comfortable and casual for a fun night out.

Yes, Boozy Cow accepts private parties and larger bookings, and can accommodate groups (they ask parties of 8+ to contact the venue directly). While it’s primarily a compact downstairs bar, the team can help organise group seating or private hires, call ahead to discuss options.

Yes, Boozy Cow is a fun, casual pick for a lively date night rather than a quiet, romantic dinner. It’s a punk‑rock dive bar with bold burgers, creative cocktails and a buzzy atmosphere that guests love for a fun evening out. If you’re after a quieter, intimate table, aim for an early weekday booking; if you want a high‑energy night with drinks and a quiz, weekends and quiz nights are ideal.

Portions are generally generous, guests frequently mention big portions, sensible sizes and hearty pub‑style plates. Burgers, loaded fries and sides are described as filling and good value by many diners, so you can expect substantial pub fare rather than light tapas portions.

Yes, Boozy Cow is dog‑friendly and guests report bringing dogs to the venue. If you’re planning to bring a pet, it’s a good idea to call ahead about seating and busy times.
