The table App wasn’t working which was ok as given a paper menu , trying to get served proved difficult. Waited ages to be served, had to hunt down someone each time. Was given a bill with drinks that we were… still waiting for . Then asked to vacate the table when the place had lots of other empty tables . Some staff seemed pleasant, the manager was snotty and rude . Shame as lovely bar , just felt unwelcome.

Second time I’ve visited. Amazing service, the manager was there both times and was very accommodating, made sure we got a table, very chatty and friendly. Food was amazing and they make a really good margarita

Really nice pub. It looks very unassuming from the outside, but inside is like a gentlemen's club - but nicer. Plush leather chairs, scented candles, a great drinks menu (impressive whiskey selection) and fabulous menu. We didn't have time to eat there but we're drooling at the food delivered to our neighbouring table - who confirmed that the food was outstanding. The staff are lovely, friendly and very professional. Definitely one to visit again.

Stopped in here a couple of years ago. Food and service was great. I want to take a star off due to server not saying anything about my monty python T-shirt. I mean come on dude.

Great pub restaurant with lovely staff. Visited here for Sunday lunch and it was so delicious accompanied by a very nice NZ Sauvignon Blanc. There was a mix up with our timings (our fault) but they still accommodated us and even advised we could move onto a new table so that we didn’t have to rush our drinks. Fabulous

Pros: Food was excellent, classic roast beef with Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, various veg and gravy. Drinks was also fab
Cons: Asked for extra gravy, never got it and got charged for it.

Such a cozy place! Great ambience and nice food...I went to have the Sunday Roast which was a great hearty plate of food! Nice medium rare beef, parsnips and potatoes, cauliflower, and a crisp Yorkshire pudding were just the thing I needed after a morning of hiking around!

Love this place so much. The interior is so amazing, such old town vibes with really cool booths and tables surrounding a rounded bar. On Sunday nights there's a pub quiz - definitely recommend, so much fun. Wide variety of drinks and food available. Chips were amazing!

We were here for the cocktail festival and the venue is really nice.
The cocktail is called "Caught in the gael" and was really nice. Definitely will come back.

No queues, in fact it was practically empty, waited for about 30 mins for a pint and gin an tonic… not impressed at all, walked 2 steps to Kitty O’Shea’s, all you need in a pub 😀😀

My wife and I love going out to eat, trying new foods, and checking out local beers. This place was recommended by a friend for their Sunday Roast and we ended up loving it so much that we went back again during our 4 day trip to Edinburgh. We don't normally stop at the same place twice, but we felt we had to spend more time there.
The food is wonderful (try to book a Sunday roast in advance), the cocktails are clever and tasty, and the dessert is amazing.
Definitely check this place out!

A great pub! It was packed when we arrived, so we had to wait a little for our order to be taken but afterwards the service was friendly and very fast. Nice beers, cider too sweet for my taste. Food was excellent. Especially the haggis lollipops. I really like the eclectic decor with lots of books and a chandelier made of wine glasses.
