Owned by Scottish Brewery Fierce Beer(167 Rose St), this little bar is packed with character.
Not only do they brew fantastic beer, but they also distil rum and gin, so there is something for everyone.
The Fierce Bar also does great food and makes their own hot sauce!
The Fierce’s core range is worth exploring as they are packed with flavour.
If you want something refreshing, their Gluten Free Pilsner was voted ‘Best Pilsner Lager’ at The Scottish Beer Awards in 2019.
Fierce offers some of their core beers in pitchers.
So take a pitcher, which will last longer, and sit in the sun using their outdoor seating on Rose Street.

Location & Setting
Fierce Bar sits on Rose Street in the New Town, the pedestrian lane running parallel to Princes Street that has long been an Edinburgh drinking route. It is the city outpost of the Aberdeen-based Fierce Beer, so the taps skew heavily towards their own output.
Beer Flights
The reason to single Fierce out is its flights: rather than committing to a full pint of something experimental, you can order a paddle of smaller pours and compare styles side by side. With a brewery as adventurous as Fierce, that is the smart way to explore sours, pastry stouts and hazy pales in one sitting.
Practical Tips
- Order a flight to sample several experimental beers at once
- Central Rose Street location, easy to fold into a crawl
- Taps lean towards Fierce Beer’s own range
- Good stop for anyone who likes bold, unusual styles
