"During my visit to Edinburgh, I had the pleasure of spending St Patrick's evening at Maggie Dicksons pub, and the experience was simply memorable. St. Patrick's Day in this historic venue is an experience that transcends all expectations, especially for us Italians, accustomed to a different way of celebrating. The atmosphere was electric, with all guests completely immersed in the moment singing their hearts out along with the live singer, toasting with plenty of beer and enjoying each other's company. The thing that struck me most was the total absence of cell phones; no one was distracted posting on social media, everyone was there to truly experience the party and socialise, a true return to the essence of fun. The venue itself is a jewel: spacious and welcoming, despite the large influx of people. It offers a vast selection of beers, including the ever present Guinness, perfect for the occasion. The toilets also deserve a mention for their comfort and cleanliness, despite the evening being exceptionally busy. Another pleasant surprise was the broadcast of the football matches, that evening in particular Inter vs Napoli, which added a touch of familiarity in such a festive context. I highly recommend Maggie Dicksons to anyone looking for an authentic and immersive experience in the heart of Edinburgh. It's more than just a pub; it is a place where the local culture is expressed at its best, allowing anyone to feel part of a festive and welcoming community."
