About The Fox and Faun
The Fox and Faun is a charming independent gastro-pub at 101 Shandwick Place (EH2 4SD) in Edinburgh's West End, open from noon until 1am every day. It serves homemade food alongside a wide selection of draught drinks and an extensive range of local Scottish whiskies, gins and a distinctive cocktail list, with the kitchen running until 9pm. Live music is a regular fixture — every Thursday from 8pm to 11pm and every Saturday from 9pm to midnight — and the week is rounded out by Edinburgh's top pub quiz on Wednesdays and a premier poker league on Sundays. Gigs are booked through GigPig, making it a reliable West End stop for performing musicians.
