It's a small and cozy place. I went there to see a Fringe show. They don't serve food (at least during the shows) and it was a bit disorganized compared to other places. But the staff is nice and the place is cool.
A.ma.z.i.n.g place. When you want to to have superb night with crowd of happy peoples surrounded by live piano music, this is the place where you want to be.
If you like live piona music it is the place to go and you can sing along you never have wait long to buy your drinks as very fast service
Dingy, super expensive and, crammed to the doors with punters, felt like a fire trap. Avoid!
Brilliant pianist and entertainer Tony B wowed the audience into a dancing frenzy. Fantastic atmosphere, friendly bar staff.
Fun bar BUT theft is a huge problem. I went on 26/5/2012 and had my iPhone stolen from my bag (which was on my person the whole night) and when I reported it to the barman he said that had already happened to another girl that night. When I reported it to the policeman it was the 3rd theft report from the bar all in the same night. Subsequently have heard from other people this is not unusual at this bar at all. Management need to increase security!!!!
Went with a group of friends. We are mostly college-aged and all had a great time! The music was good, drinks were good and we just over all had a great time. We went on a Saturday and it was unsurprisingly, extremely crowded.
This bar is friendly, relaxed and in a great location.
Definitely a guilty pleasure, you don't end up here unless it's dark o'clock and a small lake of alcohol has been consumed.
A small, dark room with a piano at one end, a bar on the side and that's about it, the bar is a touch pricey but as your decision making processes have been impaired well before this point you'll not notice, all you'll care about is when they're going to play " Don't Stop Believing".
You like it but know that you shouldn't. The home of late night drinking in Edinburgh.
Late night melodies from the best pianoman in the city
Nice pianist but expensive drinks and a charge for using a debit card. It's 2017!
Good laugh, too packed, nice staff, it is was it is for a late night drink handy spot very small tight smoking area
Went in to see the band playing it was packed,a nice bar didn't eat here but it has a restaurant
Having bought my first drink.then soon after, met my two mates there.Suddenly the security told me to leave.so Embarrassing.
The place is too small,hardly move at all,never mind dancing and the place looks tired.Everything is expensive.Pianist is a good singer but get bored with the same set of songs every weekend.If you really wantin a good place for a drink and a better space for dancing,Definitely NOT piano bar for me because you will go home fully realise that the place is struggling to keep up.
Good fun, best to go as a group or be ready to join in with others.
We had a good night. Friendly locals to chat to. Good atmosphere.
Music was good, but they let too many people into the venue. It was absolutely rammed to the rafters when we visited. This made it uncomfortable and not a particularly pleasant experience.
Live music, singing along to great songs. Fantastic fun!
Very small space for how popular it is. Has great music and is very popular but that does make it a bit of a squeeze.
Now this is a wonderful place. Admittedly I was drunk as a skunk. I danced, laughed and sang my heart out.
Good fun, good music. But overcrowded and overpriced
My friends and I went to this bar last night, there was a long queue to get in but thats to be expected for a Saturday! However when we got close to the front the bouncer was incredibly confrontational and mean spirited towards my friends who were being pushed forward by people behind us, snapping at them 'do you know how a queue works? you won't get in if you keep that up'. Later when the rain got heavier my friend tried to lighten the mood by asking if he liked hot chocolate, as that would be the perfect way to warm up after standing in horrible weather all night. The bouncer immediately turned on her becoming incredibly verbally abusive, shouting that she was 'disrespecting'him and that we should tell her how to act. We ended up just standing in silence to avoid him lashing out at us again, and when we finally got in the place was excessively overcrowded (you couldn't move for bodies). Lovely bar staff and good music but would never come back after this really disappointing experience sadly.
Queued for almost an hour to get in here and when we finally got in could hardly move it was that packed. Then had to wait another half hour to get served. Won't be rushing back.
Far to busy, you could hardly move and was a major fire hazard and not a pleasure to be in there as it was
Went to see an act from the Edinburgh Fringe here- a small bar in a basement with live entertainment
Went there on a Saturday night. Great entertainment and good location. Just couldn't move as it was so packed! Had to barge many people out of the way just to get to the loo.
I went here with Mickey Rourke one night and it was great. Mickey was in drag,wearing a nice wee outfit he'd borrowed from cliff Richard. We loved the fact that no-one recognised him and he introduced himself as Nadia and got loads of attention. How we laughed on the way home,munching on our kebabs as he told me about the eight guys who had felt his arse. Would definitely go here again. Sadly, my are went unfondled that night.......
Owner and manager superb and friendly.....cannot wait to go back there .... Hx
Beyond crowded, looks like a fun place but I'm sure they were over limit.
Attended a free fringe Show here. The show, Luke Closely, was really good. The bar was dark and I would imagine Intimate place for a drink. Unfortunately due to the placement of pillars the view was somewhat restricted.
I had a great time here. It's not just sitting and listening to the music, it's much more interactive. Our pianist for the night, Oliver, was very entertaining!
Sing along on the piano while a pianist just plays away at a mix of old and new tunes.
It s the place to go after, or indeed during, a tough week.
Always busy & full of (ever so slightly) foo folk, Fingers is a great night out. The Piano Man is awesome and goes right up to the whistle at 3, playing great sing-along classics all night. Fab range of drinks on offer at the bar too. Always fun!
They did not let me in because there was a private party of Presbyterians, but before they threw me out of everything I got to see that it was a good place to integrate with the natives.
What an atmosphere at 2am. A late night dive bar, the place with the most wasted people beyond belief. So many random things happened : one guy was lifting his shirt for an hour, asking to be slapped harsh on his bare stomach by all patrons. Another started to down a drink while a girl watched in pure admiration. Another guy lifted a girl on his shoulders who was karate kicking all accidentally . Not to mention the floor that's covered in broken glass. Fanstatic place but make sure you are drunk enough before entering or you will hate it!
Kind and amusing people, having fun and singing with the pianist. We enjoyed our time there. Great fun!
Stylish live music, mixed audience. Clear recommendation for a nightcap.
Sketchy people, fighting and a pianist who can only play Billy Joel. Avoid unless these are your markers for a big night
Great for end of a night out with work or visitors. Can get messy and crowded though. Bit disappointed with the size of the pianist. Story of my life.
An Edinburgh classic! A must do for those visiting.
Very different to a "normal" evening out, definitely worth a visit for a couple mates or a big group
Would be a cool place if they didn't let so many people in there, overcrowding it makes for an unpleasant atmosphere.
Went to fingers during Xmas time 2015. It was a Friday night with the office at around 1am. Terrible. Too busy!
Good for dancing, if you can find room on the dancefloor.
Great atmosphere, friendly staff and excellent pianists. Can be very busy at weekends (Thursday to Sunday but an excellent choice for a quiet drink on a Tuesday and Wednesday.
Proper horror show. An Edinburgh institution, everyone ends up here one day when there's nowhere else open and the drinking must continue. Ladies prepare to be hit on by sweaty middle aged men in suits, still boozing on a Thursday night. Classy.
Lively, bustling bar with a live pianist at the weekends. Often a little bit too full for it's own good, nevertheless worth a visit if you are after a boisterous evening out.
Spenser read the best musician of all time plays here sometimes, you'll have to check him out before you die.......fuxxxing awesome man.the club is scaringly fantastic
Absolutely rammed at the weekend, and the type of place you hate yourself for always going.
But guarantees a good night even if the painoman plays the same 10 songs on repeat.
Went to this place last night during the fringe festival. We put our jackets on some seats next to a big group of people who we briefly chatted to and had a laugh with. The group left and took our jackets, mistake or not I wouldn't trust anyone here. Seems like a dingy place that attracts dingy people. Thieves seem to be a common thing here.
Worst bar I have ever been to. Total dive. The place is absolutely rammed so much so that you're propped up without your feet even touching the ground. Surprisingly can easily get served at the bar but holding onto your drink in the crowd is the challenge. The patrons vary massively from groups of young dressed up girls to groups of work colleagues to lechy old men. Not worth the hangover - get yourself a kebab and go home to bed.
Bit grotty, but struggling for anywhere to be open at that time of night.
Great bar with fantastic live music and a good atmosphere.
