  “Great place for groups but also for solo travellers. I found the food and cocktail choice very appealing, I was curious to taste a lot of the dishes they have on the menu, including local delicacies. The waiters were genuinely friendly and helpful.”

  “£8:50 for a pint is criminal. I almost had a heart attack and asked him to put it back in the barrel. I'm aware Edinburgh is a tourist city but if your prices are that high please state it obviously so we know what we're getting ourselves into. Aside from that I loved that there was a live guitarist on”

  “I Don't usually do poor reviews but the fish I got here was not good, as soon as I broke it open with my fork water poured out, the insides where not the warmest, I didn't finish it, on the up side I got a good pint of Gunness”

  “A Must-Visit in Edinburgh – Ask for Sean! If you are visiting Edinburgh and want an exceptional introduction to Scotch whisky, look no further than The Newsroom—and specifically, Sean. As tourists, we were looking for a welcoming spot and Sean made us feel right at home. Sean is a wealth of information when it comes to Scotch. He didn't just pour drinks; he patiently and enthusiastically answered every single question we threw at him. He gave us fantastic suggestions on what to drink and expertly guided us on how to drink it to get the full experience. Sean turned a simple drink stop into one of the absolute highlights of our trip. Outstanding service, great atmosphere, and top-tier hospitality. We will definitely be back! Tip for fellow travelers: If you drop by The Newsroom, do yourself a favor and see if Sean is working!”

  “Stumbled upon it randomly after walking around Edinburgh. Enjoyed it so much went back the next day! Served by Becky who was great! Helpful and informative. Cocktail are lush and there's plenty of gluten free options to be had. Will definitely nip in again next time we're up.”

  “Stopped here for some light refreshments after a bimble up Calton Hill. As it was St. Patrick's Day it obviously had to be Guinness 😁. The Newsroom is a great place and the Staff are friendly and welcoming. There is a good range of drinks, which should satisfy most thirsts.”
