Classic fish and chips. Tasted and looked authentic. Loved the atmosphere as well. Very cozy and warm. A bit expensive tho. Nice to see they had a large selection pf scotches including the famed 25 year old Laphroaig that is like $750 a bottle. Service was nice and prompt - didnt have to wait too long, and found seating quickly.

Classic fish and chips. Bellhaven on tap. Classic photos of David Tennant, Andy Murray, Robbie Coltrane looking down on you as you sip your pint or scotch. What's not to like?

We sat in the restaurant area which still felt like part of the warm atmosphere. The prices were very fair and all six of us were impressed with our dinners and our server. We'll meet up there again. Thanks!

We watched people come in after us, receive their food and then leave before we were even asked what we wanted.
The food was over priced for what we got. It needed seasoning, and wasn't cooked right.
The Scottish eggs were under cooked. Where the ground beef was visibly raw. And at that price we should have gotten 2 full eggs, not one cut in half.
The shepherd's pie looked like it was just poured into the pan. No crispiness on top or anything.
I even told them I wanted to get a drink when the food came, but they forgot it entirely.

Then when my wife said the egg was wrong, they wanted to argue with her about how you make one. She grew up in England. She knows how to make one. The fact that the meat was raw was disgusting.
I don't know who was in that kitchen but they have lost any love for cooking they might have had. Just a reminder why I hate to go out now.

Have wanted to try the fish n chips since I arrived 12 years ago- the fried halibut was easily the best I’ve had in years. Macleod’s also has unmatched interior design atmosphere among all bars in the metro area. Combine that with continuous great service and this place is a GEM

Amazing fish and chips that came out fast and piping hot. Batter was perfect, crunchy and not oily and the tartar was some of the best I have had. The staff were friendly and attentive and the outdoor seating was perfect as it was raining a little. Been searching for a good fish and chips and this one ticked all the boxes

They have a huge selection of scotch and something you don't see too often is scotched eggs which are amazing here.

Loved sitting outside and the food was fantastic! So happy they were open late. The Reuben was perfect and the veggie pasty delicious. The crab dip was also very tasty and we ate what was left with our forks.

This place is the perfect spot for before or after dinner drinks - they serve food but I haven’t eaten there, I come for the cocktails and the thorough scotch whisky list. It’s a cozy pub with great bartenders.
