About The Venue

The Grosvenor was founded in 1719 and is located on Shandwick Place in central Edinburgh. Its traditional decor, low-level illumination, and classic wooden fixtures reflect its long-standing presence in the city's West End. The atmosphere is cozy with a moderate noise level during peak hours, driven by regular patrons enjoying real ale at tables equipped with sports TVs. This combination of historic architecture and active community use defines the venue’s current character. You can find Belhaven beer here, brewed since 1719, and enjoy it in either indoor or outdoor seating.
