July 20245/5. Had an excellent dining experience here! The food was fantastic, especially the fish and chips, and the pie was delicious. We also enjoyed the olives as a starter. The service was good, making the overall experience very enjoyable. Highly recommend!

September 2024Nom nom nom! Ate here for our first night in Scotland. Definitely did not disappoint from an eat-all-things American. Local beer and gin cocktails were excellent. Live music excellent and oh the food! We had kids fish n chips, the lamb roast, steak frites, plus sticky pudding and mars bar for dessert. I would order all again.

July 2024While roaming around Edinburgh we came across this beautiful restaurant. It was lovely. You can outside but we chose go sit inside because of cloudy weather. We had Sunday Roast Beef, Haggis, Summer special watermelon cocktail and a few drinks. Taste was really great and ambience is also very nice. Worth all your penny. Highly recommended!

August 2024The interior, music, and atmosphere were amazing and authentic. The staff were nice and pleasant, too. Food was good, could have been better, but still good nonetheless. Do know that there is a 10% service charge added to the bill. I felt a little bad and awkward asking the staff to remove this (sorry I’m on a budget). But this was optional, as stated. I had no qualms with the service though, the people were nice, friendly and accommodating.

September 2024Visited this bar for a nightcap after an event at the Usher Hall. Folk band playing Irish songs was great and we had lovely cocktails but our evening was ruined after a doorman at the opposite side of the empty bar came over to my partner to tell him not to tap his hand on the table in time to the music. Seriously? We were sober, quiet and not young and how can anyone not sing and tap along to The Irish Rover??!! Get a grip management no wonder the bar was empty.
