Deco Sympa, subdued atmosphere in the evening. Hearty dishes but beware of fragile taste buds Nachos dishes and fajitas are very up. Small flats for the donuts of Haggis input whose breading is not very good
But all in all perfect place for a good evening and a hearty meal without making a huge excess to the wallet

Amazing place to chilling eat and drink fabulous cocktails

Been a good few times with work for lunch. The food is good filling lunch fare and service is reasonably quick. Guess since we've been back a few times must mean they are doing something right. Price wise it is what you expect to pay in this part of town. If you have food allergies, you may find the menu slightly more limited than other places

Nice drinks, quite-good food and really great service crew. Definately better place to drink than to eat, but worth visiting.

Loved it! The food was great and the service was too!

Nice atmosphere, good drinks and affordable price it's 5min walk from Waverly train station and Princess Street. Recommend

Great place with good atmos.. Only thing wrong was they included a vegetarian burger style meal in the main burger menu and guess what, we ordered 2 by mistake! they were however very nice but we felt they should have a separate veggie section on the menu to avoid confusion.

Loud dance music played,but staff good ,nice cocktails and selection of beers

Amazing food, great atmosphere and an all round nice experience!! Recommend the haggis Fritter burger... Was a revelation :-)

Try the 'fun guy', if you're in for a tasty veggie burger.

Very good service, big sortiment of beer, very good fish n chips and fast served.

Nice place!

Nice place but the dearest drinks in our evening out.

Extensive cocktail menu, friendly staff. Cocktails to Suit all tastes and staff were happy to recommend as required. Didn't get to eat here

Very good food for GB very fair prices. Absolutely courteous staff who knows what they can sell and recommend. Clear recommendation when visiting Edinburgh!

Good food and warm welcome by the staff! Very nice!

Lovely little downstairs space where they have free comedy during the fringe!

The food - soup of the day (sweet potato, chilli and coconut) was delicious. Main course was vegetarian haggis, neeps and tatties..... Unrivalled!!! Can't wait to return..!!

Cost of drinks on the high side .only had one round .didn't have a spare kidney to sell for another

If you want to wait 45 minutes for your food (not any special food) then this is your place. And ask more that you actually want because they may forget something.

Everything is very tasty, good portions, great atmosphere

A nice bar with a kind of unique decor and theme to it - massive prints of celebrity obituaries from newspapers might not sound too appealing, but the place pulls it off. Food wise, think birders, wings, chicken burgers in waffles - it's More

Loved the rustic food good value for money very clean.

I booked a table for me and my partner. We arrived and were shown to our table. Staff could not have been any nicer to us. Nothing was a problem to them. We had same lady (Holly) serve us all night she looked after us like we were VIPs all night. She never stopped smiling and ensuring our comfort. The food was so delicious I was gutted I didn't complete my meal. I was so full I felt like I was going to need to be rolled home. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants fantastic service and food.

Awesome atmosphere... Great menu... Chilled music...

Good haggis, neeps and tatties, fish and chips, sticky toffee pudding and deep fried Mars bar. Window seats good for people watching in a relatively busy area.

Really interesting pub with nice furniture.
Good customer service. The table stuff was really friendly.
Burger was ok for a quick bite. Dessert was really tasty. I loved the chocolate fudge cake. I definitely recommend it.

Shame i ate all of my food before taking a photo it was that good! Ordered the neeps and tatties highly recommended!

Pros - The food portions were huge, 3 of us shared and were totally full and satisfied. Excellent!

Cons - Entrance welcome will be good. We were standing for a while and then moved in on our own to get our seats. For some reasons, no server was there to show us in.

First day in Scotland for us, and we are definitely going to come back before we leave. Highly recommend this place, the Haggis and Bloody Mary was amazing! We finished with a sticky toffee pudding and that's definitely a must also! Enjoy

Cozy and warm. Too bad about all the construction out front.

Decent pub near the city centre. Function room downstairs. The quiz nights are very good!

Good place for a drink or two though beers and ciders seemed to be quite expensive.

Delicious food and a relaxed and friendly service. Highly Recommended

Cocktails are fine. Haven't tried the food yet but the mood and ambiance are alright.

I was given skooshy tonic in my gin without being asked what I wanted (don't like skooshy mixers) witnessed a member of staff being (just a little) rude to a customer but there was no apparent reason, not impressed

Unfortunately too loud for me. Nevertheless, nice and friendly service

The amount of food is large, and if you say share, it gives you an advance sight. The staff is friendly and the toilet in the basement is also clean. There are so many kinds of beer that it is difficult to choose. However, I would like to take care of table cleanliness more. The table is sticky.

Great atmosphere, great music, food amazing! Bar staff brilliant and gorgeous cocktails and alcohol choice!

Very nice and modern restaurant, prices and quality of food in the norm.

Nice enough place but you will wait an age to get served, even when it's dead. Staff are unable to multitask and if you're anything like me or the couple standing next to me or the 2 girls on the other side of the bar you will get fed up waiting and leave thirsty with money in your pocket to take elsewhere!

Good range of food and drink at reasonable prices. Close to theatre, cinema and railway and bus stations.

Quirkily decorated bar just on Leith Street, just off Princes Street. Not the fastest service, but a nice place to have a drink.

Nice bar, lassie working behind the bar could of done with an attitude shift though.

Way to loud, way to expensive for what you get. Not my type of cookie.

Went with friends after playhouse friday night not very busy

Fantastic and the best fish n' chips one could ever have.

The staff were nice and the wine list pretty good. I love the retro style lighting in the windows and the big central bar but I have to say the bar snacks we had were just awful. Really greasy goujon things and haggis balls in a ton of oily batter and not very exciting chips.
Good for a quick drink as its really central but definitely wont try eating again.

Cocktails were nice. Average prices but felt it lacked atmosphere even on Fringe weekend

A gem of a place, great food and vibe, very friendly, and zero-alcohol Heineken on Draft which was excellent! Kids loved the deep-fried Mars Bar dessert too.

This is a very Lively and crowded bar. Very popular among local and tourists alike.

What a cozy and superb place.
I really like the convenience location.
Bar is specious and attracts fine crowd.
Grate Music, deliciouse food and refreshing cocktails.
Staff super friendly and welcoming
Table service available until 10.00
Sound

Tasty steak and Guinness pie, interesting cocktails, nice atmosphere. Way too expensive, though.

Lovely food. Big portions (2 courses was too much for us) and staff were very nice and completely suited to the job. Our waiter had us laughing the whole time

Pretty chilled place to have a few after work, and livens up at the weekend. Food is decent enough and the drinks selection is pretty comprehensive.

This pub is not only well visited by locals, but also tourists come in there. A large beer / whiskey selection makes it hard to decide for something. I decided then but for a native type of beer. It tasted supi.
Also the food can be seen, a is always. Well worth a visit in this pub

Really nice place to have a drink. Good choices of gin. Great

Great place for drinks before heading to the playhouse which is only 2 minutes walk away from here. Misses out on a star due to price.

Actually one of the best burgers I've had in ages, nice one, and fair drink selection too. The service staff was excellent on the night. Bit annoying it's so popular because of their room hire, but I suppose that's not their fault is it.

Absolutely under staffed. Sat for 45 minutes with no waitress acknowledging our presence. Finally moved to the bat where it was better but still slow.

Visited a few times had some food and coffees. Can get busy at times but handy for Princes Street.

Small bar with very nice decoration. Warm place where it is nice to ask. Small defect: lack a little heating

Nice menu with good prices. Friendly service but could have done with some recommendations, was full after the starter and couldn't finish the main meal though delicious... especially the traditional huggies dish.
