About Biddy Mulligans
Biddy Mulligans is a historic Irish bar in the heart of Edinburgh's Grassmarket (94-96 Grassmarket, EH1 2JR), open 8am till 1am seven days a week and famed for its authentic Irish atmosphere. Live music runs every single night in two strands: a traditional folk 'Session' from 5:30pm to 7:30pm — Scottish and Irish players inspired by the Galway scene — followed by an acoustic set from 9pm to midnight with a different local musician each night. It pairs the music with traditional Irish food (stew, Sunday roast, strong veggie and vegan options), an outdoor terrace and 'The Wee Pub' next door, billed as Scotland's smallest pub. A dependable, nightly trad-and-acoustic stage welcoming both originals and covers.
