Dropped by late in the evening and this place was quiet, but walked by earlier and it was packed. The bar has a nice layout and is pretty open. I would return another time.

Busy bar but lovely atmosphere. Very friendly staff.
Good selection of food and drink. Busy place so can sometimes wait a while to be served.
Coolest bar and eaterie in Lieth I have been to. Local DJs after nine, great bar staff catering to your desires re gourmet standard food , cocktails etc Ambience is so cool and relaxed you could not help chilling in this excellent establishment.
Cozy place with nice selection of beer but even better wine and whiskey ones
Great bar, good food and right in the heart of the city.
Very helpful and kind staff, great food and beautiful place
Lovely place on leith street for drinks with friends. They were strict with their seating policy which is reassuring in these times of social distancing.
First time in this bar but won't be the last food was superb atmosphere fantastic service absolutely spot on.
Not very tasty food. Service average or bit lower. Probably for beers is a good place, it has good music.
Not the best venue for the fringe, to any Pilar's . Didn't eat so cannot comment on that.
Decent bar with warm friendly feel. Perfect for a few after work pints
Great food. Friendly service. Visited mid-afternoon on a weekday, so it was quiet at the time. Will definitely be back.
Nice bar, friendly staff, drinks were really good, but was not mixed that well. Would recommend for a night out
Had some great cocktails that have fallen away slightly. Still a great place for drinking and a brilliant meet up spot.
Tried to duck in here out of the torrential rain around midday with my baby daughter & have a drink while we waited for the rain to stop. Were told they can't have under 18s in the bar and we had to leave. Absolute champions.
Great atmosphere, lovely staff and nice pub food, recommended!
A convenient place for a mid week lunch time meeting.
Very nice bar with good beers and the dishes served by the restaurant are very good and plentiful.
We had a nice meal here,very good Haggis and fish,also the beer was good!Prices ok!
Good atmosphere and good cocktails, occasionally, electronic at the bottom
Great place. Great food. And a little basement for comedy or partying
Enjoyed a tasty meal with an Edinburgh gin and tonic. Great service too in a good atmosphere.
Nice food, good selection of drinks but, in common with many pubs of this type, has "music" thudding away, making normal conversation impossible.
Nice modern relaxed pub in centre of time. I think it has an events/function area in the basement. Also does food
Great vibe. Super friendly staff. Good food and beer. Definely recommend.
Service good ...nice cocktails...not an extensive menu but food tasty and fresh..ok value for money..chicken tikka starter v nice
Nice atmosphere, friendly staff and good food! Not too pricey. Traditional food as well as new interpretations of it.
Super pup served with menu extra area in the man. Great kitchen bar good selection. Gene again
Good place to go for drinks. I would not recommend for food or large parties. The bar staff were good. They were a bit overwhelmed by a large party and borderline rude because of that. They could turn a large party down if it wasn't to their liking. The food was okish. If the menu could explain that the burgers doesn't come with chips it would be great. The waiter serving us was very rude and made some of us unwelcome and uncomfortable. The bar staff made up for it .
Stopped for a drink with some work mates. Contemporary feel. Would like to return to try their food.
Nice Pub with a cool boss :-) good drinks and beautiful interior design.
It served beer in a nice atmosphere, so thumbs up from me.
Good service but no none alcoholic beers for the drivers :(
Great food and atmosphere, live shows and friendly staff.
Absolutely loved it! Staff was wonderful! Flights of whiskey delicious
Nice pub...Good service...clean and well organised with the social distancing.
HORRIFIC!!
Me and my friend went in here yesterday for lunch. I was on my lunch break from work and it's right next door so it was handy. I we shouldn't really have gone here as we've been before and had terrible service but yesterday took the biscuit!!!
We arrived at 13.10 and sat down, no-one came near us so we waited 10 minutes before my friend had to go and ask the woman if we could order some drinks. She had a terrible attitude from the word go and reluctantly took our drinks order. We then ordered our food and by this time it was13.30. We waited and waited but no sign of our food and then another male member of staff came up and asked us if we wanted to order food!! We were slighly exasperated and said no, we'd ordered but no food had arrived. We never got an apology or an explanation, he just sort of said "oh, right" and walked off to do something else!!! At 13.55 we gave up, I had to get back to my work and there was still no sign of any food. We went up to the bar to pay for our cokes and it was Miss Attitude herself at the till. (Nadia was her name we later discovered when making an official complaint) she said "oh did you not get your food" my friend said "no we didn't and we have to go now back to work, we couldn't have waited any longer" to which she replied " well I suppose that's what happens when you come in at a busy lunch time!!!!!!!! We couldn't believe it! My friend then said "oh imagine coming into a restaurant for lunch at lunch time - how silly of us! To which she replied "oh you are a real pleasure to deal with you are" the cheek of her!!! We left here raging and starving!
I have never in all my life received such terrible service and been treated so badly by restaurant staff! I will never ever set foot in this place again!
Good food, good beer, good prices, good location. Alround good I'd say.
Good venue top of Leith walk great food and beer options. Highly recommended venue.
Great food and good location to meet friends. Good place for a date
Walked in for some drinks, was asked for ID which is fair enough, however after looking at mine and my girlfriends ID which was a full UK provisional licence that states we are 22 We were escorted to the door and asked to leave without a reason why. Terrible service!!
Another restaurant that can only be entered from the age of 18 ... (In the bright afternoon at 14:00) Outside the restaurant, nothing is mentioned ...
Huggins .... Good depends on the taste anyway to try
Nice bright bar, spotlessly clean. Pleasant bar staff.
Easy to overlook this bar but can often become busy quickly. Great drinks and food, really good location to start an evening. Sometimes service can be a little slow even when quiet but, still worth the visit for sure!
Had a really nice chicken burger here. Great selection of drinks too. A nice place for a beer.
The good and abundant food. Better prices than in the center
Nice classy pub on leith street that is great for meetups, and first dates. Has lost a little of its character since its 2013 refurbishment, replacing the comfy window couches (which were great for people watching) with much taller tables More
Standard pub that has some weird decor (obituaries) that makes the experience a but odd. There are better pubs in the same area.
Easyish to get to, nice cocktails, and bigger than it looks. One of the have to go to places while in Edinburgh
Great place amazing food fantastic cocktails. Disabled toilets would be great .due to amount of stairs x x x
Great cocktails if a little more expensive than I'm used to but definitely worth it.
Great bar with a nice atmosphere in a brilliant location. Not enough seating though. Thats lost it a star
Clean and with interesting design, good food but a bit expensive.
