EBG Rating:	7.8/10
Choice/ Quality of Drinks	❤️❤️❤️❤️ A decent selection of local cask ales from independent producers with moderate keg options and whisky selections.
Style/ Décor	❤️❤️❤️ Corner bar with some original wood fittings including the typical narrow tables screwed into the floor. A classic neighbourhood pub layout opened out somewhat, with a snug room to the rear.
Atmosphere/ Character	❤️❤️❤️❤️ Local and neighbourly, far enough outside the centre to be free of tourists. Livelier on weekends and matchdays
Amenities/ Events	❤️❤️❤️❤️ Food, snacks, TV, live events, functions
Value For Money	❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Good value for beer but especially good value for pub grub, with further discounts available during the week and for members.
Description	Situated between two graveyards, “Diggers” has been going since 1897 and aside of the pub being opened out, the core of the pub remains, a corner shape with narrow tables and communal seating, with a fine snug room to the rear. Far enough outside the centre to be almost entirely frequented by locals and die hard fans, you’ll find fair value here, particularly for the food. As for the atmosphere, a sleepy social home-from-home afternoon changes to busy and buzzy on weekends and matchdays, with Tynecastle nearby. A pub that grows on you on repeat visits, it is easy to reach on a bus from the centre, so no excuses! (Added February 2024)
