The Speratus Group (Amicus Apple and the Boozy Cow) Reviews

Bouncer was quite rude, but bar staff were great. Chatty and helpful. Cool atmosphere and wide selection of beer.

Sadtimes, this restaurant was the best in town but the bother has taken over and no more charity work (all for profit), the food shows. Service is fantastic though! Hope the staff try and save it

This is one of my favourite places to eat in Edinburgh, I go every time. The food is amazing with a wide range of choices to please anyone's tastes. The drinks that are on offer again are great and plentiful. Location and atmosphere are brilliant and the staff are always amazing. I can easily recommend here for food drinks, or just somewhere to get a milkshake and chill out.

Great spot for proper American pub style food. Patio is great for people watching and you can see the castle.

It's so funny place, I really love the cocktail here is so amazing!

Good food but make sure if you don't like spicy or hot food that you don't order fries. They have a hot/spicy powder on them and that's the plane ones and the milkshakes are great.

Great vibe and awesome drinks selection. Food was also brilliant!

Staff were lovely and knew everything on the food and drinks menu. The burgers tasted fresh and were nice and hot. The onion rings were honestly the best I've ever had. They were a little greasy but each table is supplied with kitchen roll so j just let then sit on there whilst I demolished my burger. I was on a weekend away to Edinburgh but I'd 100% come back here on my next visit up north

Amazing location. Good food an drinks, cool atmosphere

Brilliant quirky bar, with the best mix of great food/drink, music and atmosphere.A must when in the city

I tried booking a table before going with no luck but didn't give up that easily, I managed to nab a table as a walk in, and glad I did. Lovely service, efficient safety measures and great food. I'm a vegan and ordered the fluid burger. I actually asked that it be double checked that it was vegan because it tasted THAT meaty. Amazing. Good enough for carnivores and herbivores alike. Lovely place and well worth a visit

A cool and cosy little place. I didn't eat here, but the burgers going passed looked amazing!

Quirky underground pub with loud music. House Ale was served cold a resembled lager. Cheeseburger little flavour and not served with fries. On the plus side the service was friendly.

Wacky bar and restaurant, really exciting cocktail menu,canned beer selection is really good

Being a man on the wrong side of thirty, I struggle to find a place I like to drown my sorrows. The Groty metal bars are on their way out and are stuck musically in 2001, and most coctail bars surroundings take pretension to an uncomfortable level. Now the bozy cow is my ideal comfort zone. Interior reminds me of the primal scream album "evil heat" which was a fantastic start. They had guardians of the galaxy in the telly box, another rare treat and to cap it off the cocktails are spot on. First visit, my wife and I hammered through a comfortable portion of the coctail list. My self favouring the watermelon moo tai, splended, and the wife torn between thier version of the bloody Mary and the moobery muffin. Bar staff were epic. Friendly, charismatic and can whip up a mean cocktail . Even got a new metal band to listen too from spying the bar man's t shirt. The music in here sets the mood for an old timer like my self. Walked into a bit of Steve Winwood, nice... real nice and was serenaded with other classic such Toto, lulu, Mr Mr. Absolutely delighted as my other half and I can't stand each other's music, as she likes that mumble nonsense. But here, this was something we both could enjoy.
We returned with four friends this Sunday, and once again plowed through the coctail list with zero regard for our liver's or of our impeding work the next again day. A riotous time had. Even a cheeky dance to Cher. Tremendous. Everyone singing the praises of the establishment and the bar staff. Another added bonus is, I'd say we were the oldest people there by 10 years and didn't even notice, with my graying mane, I feel more aware of my age as I'm out and about. Not here. You can full embellish your Peter Pan syndrome to it's full extent.
Think it's pretty obvious I love this place, and if you don't too? What's wrong with you?
Keep up the exceptional work.

Amazing food and service but the tinned cider wasn't so good!

A curious place to have a beer.
Very punk.
If you are not going to eat, you have to order a drink at the bar.
What surprised me a lot is that it was 1 in the afternoon, and there were only seniors.
My visit was in mid-September.
I leave it there.

Good atmosphere with music 80s. The dishes are hearty and reasonable prices

Great place for a drink and food, wacky interior good music

Milkshakes were Excellent but the food was horrible the meat was chewy and fatty.

They have a great veggie/vegan menu. I had some deep fried pickles and was living the dream

Awesome cocktails and brilliant atmosphere, I'll be back

Very aesthetically pleasing inside, graffitied/underground vibe. Friendly and approachable staff.

Food was delicious and great cocktail menus definitely recommend for drinks!!

Really good drinks although a bit expensive, but worth it

Great place that we found by accident, had two 'Lady Garden' cocktails that were very nice but a little over sweet for our taste. The staff were very friendly and we returned again a few days later and had some food, all of it was delicious and we tried more cocktails including their alcoholic milkshakes that were delicious also.

Slow service and it wasn't even that busy. Been before and service was slow then too.

Great chicken burger and sweet potatoe fries. Friendly staff. Beautiful modern interior :P

Great staff, great friendly and non fussed service, varied selection for all drinkers. Settled on harviestoun old engine oil(super slick) and makers. Couldn't rate the service and staff any higher. Keep it up :-)

This is one of the coolest bars I've been to. The decor is awesome and I spent as much time wandering around reading the walls as i did talking to my friends.
The cocktail menu is extensive, fun and absolutely delicious. On top of that the prices were very reasonable.
Would totally recommend this place to others.

Burgers are good but a little dry for my personal taste. Arrived just after 12:30 on a Thursday afternoon and service was very slow which is the last thing you want at lunchtime

Went here for new years eve and must say really enjoyed it the good was fantastic and great selection we have been back since new years and do far we have found there always a liveley and friendly atmosphere

The Boozy cow is an experiance, Amazing cocktails followed by an Astonishing meal!! The burger was unforgettable with a good size and no lack of meat and veg regretabilly no side fires as is so common these days. The 'at additional cost' fries upgraded to chilli cheese were amazing the chilli wasnt weak as alot of places make it but not quite the best or hottest in town (latter is good). The decor is very diffrent to the surroundings in the Edinburgh New Town but is welcoming and a fun if uncomfortable enviroment if you like to sit at the table.... overall an impressive place that I will visit time and time again.

P.S I have no problem with paying for a side of chilli fries however a handful of fries to garnish the burger would go a long way.

Lovely cocktails. Very friendly, knowledgeable staff

Terrible awful tasteless food. Service was great, staff were very friendly

As the name suggests thus place is great for a burger and a drink. The food portions are ample and the cocktails are amazing. Not cheap though, so be prepared to spend a bit of money.

Great night, brilliant cocktails, fun bar staff. Give it a try!

Local with very good atmosphere. They have burgers, dogs, ... The really good burgers and some chips with a house sauce and pepper on top really delicious. Affordable prices.

The wife was keen to attend to her meaty needs after a week long attempt at veganism, I maintained my animal free ways and opted for a move mountains burger, it was rather good. The wife had a philly steak somethingorother, it looked immense and she delighted in the meaty goodness, very nice selection of full fat fully alcohilised drinks, nice calm atmosphere, great staff and menu, loose 1 star for the poor selection of AF options and how dark it is, what's with the darkness???

Funky wee place with different alcohol types than the usual in the area. Did get lost on the way out the toilets due to the mass art work on doors and walls. Great atmosphere though and friendly staff.

Nice cocktails and real friendly bar staff! Good atmosphere even on a Sunday.

Pretty good burgers and fries and great beer made by them.

The vegan chickless burger was very tasty and well balanced flavour, staff were friendly and helpful.

Love Boozy Cow their alcoholic shakes are brilliant! Food is tasty too. Like all the graffiti looking painting

The food here was an absolute joy to eat. We ordered the Haggis Pops (which came with an AMAZING whisky and brown sauce), Chilli Fries and the Buttet me Up burger. Would definitely recommend as the flavours were fantastic

quite an interesting place with proper burgers and fancy coctails

Used to be a regular at the Aberdeen branch before it closed. Unfortunately not as good as I remember. The food wasn't to the same high quality. Maybe a bad night.

Can't understand much on the menu, but place is done out well, and location is spot on.

This was excellent. Tucked away, but we'll worth the visit. Food was delicious, staff were friendly

Nice place. The food is great but a big minus for not having draught beer or ale but only cans - which are a little pricey. Good music!

Absolutely gorgeous burgers. Huge variety of interesting cocktails and reasonably priced. Very happy with our meals. Nice big portions. Profits go to charity! Would recommend to anyone visiting Edinburgh. Great service and fantastic atmosphere.

Lovely done up really modern.staff friendly.only one draft larger and heavy but there are plenty of differant beers and they do a lot of cocktails .But I think it is for the young and party people .

Cool spot for food and cocktails after an afternoon of shopping on George St.

Based on the review score on Google this place is supposed to be one of the better Burger joints in Edinburgh. Well, it's not, if you ask me. Red hot chilli burgers are not hot, nor do they have any other taste. The regular chips are good, but the cheese skinnies (chips) are just completely covered in a cheese-ish semi-lquid stuff, it was too greasy and fat to eat. The place is not clean, everything is sticky and I'm not even going to mention the toilets. I get the feeling this place is popular with teenagers that don't mind all this, but this is not at all a cheap place, so I'm surprised they still run this business successfully.

Incredible burger. Milkshake OK but limited flavours.

Epic diner, loud live music super accepted. Really tasty burgers, which explodes in your mouth like a bomb when you bite it! Fries not included. Just cause they are huge and offer a lot of various types of sides. Mega cocktail, with strange glasses and combination of tastes.
Go on guys!
Sincerely,
From Italy!

Hidden secret! Stumbled across this place and wow what a find. Food lush, staff awesome and milkshake cocktails to die for! Will return!

Thee food is good but I would question if it is good value for money. Burgers and sides are paid for separately so it can add up quite quickly.

The service and atmosphere is great though.

Just popped in for a quick beer.
Small and cozy.
Beer was good.
Service well received.
Bit crowded but in a nice cozy way.
Cheers

Our second best place to eat in Edinburgh great atmosphere with simple eating araranegments but great food and drink, no frills but defo one of the best
