  “Amazing place! The food was absolutely delicious, the staff were friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was great. We really appreciated that it’s dog-friendly, which made our visit even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this place—we’ll definitely be back!”

  “I absolutely love The Persevere Bar! The fish and chips are to die for, and my favourite dish, the sausage and mash, is absolutely delicious. The food is always cooked fresh to order, which really makes a difference. The bar staff are lovely, providing excellent service and a warm welcome every time. The owners are also incredibly friendly and make you feel right at home. Highly recommended for great food and drinks, a fantastic atmosphere, and outstanding hospitality!”

  “We love it here! The pub is great for a quiet midweek drink and lunch, watching sports or Friday date night with food, drinks and live music (which was fab!). We also ate recently with friends in the restaurant and all six of us enjoyed the polish food we had. Atmosphere is great & relaxed, staff are lovely, service is brilliant. It’s one of our fave pubs 👍🏼”

  “A great pub. Beautiful old bar, good beer at very reasonable prices. Didn't have the food but heard it is also very good. Nice buzzy atmosphere when I was in on a Sunday afternoon, loads of locals just having a nice time.”

  “I've only been to the bar and have been calling it The Percy when recommending it to people. But it's also called The Persevere Bar and there's a bar and a restaurant - quite confusing. However, when you get past the branding confusion, the place offers a rich menu with something for every taste. Haven't yet tried some of the Polish dishes but the classics - beef steak or a burger - are amazing and come at a very reasonable price. Service is consistently great and there's a quiet and nice atmosphere despite the sport screens. Dogs are also allowed which makes it extra welcoming.”

  “First of all, you’ll be having a drink in a perfectly conserved original pub. Their food is outstanding. Good portions and fresh ingredients. Service was also on point. Remember to have your ID at hand, as it’s a pub and they may ask you to show it.”

  “Been going to the adjoining Polish restaurant for years not realising they offer a Scottish menu in the bar next door. Firstly, it's a traditional old pub that's immaculately kept. There are plenty of TVs so it's great for watching live sport. There's a decent range of whiskies for locals and tourists a like, as well as beers (including several Polish options), wines and cocktail specials. The food is excellent: hearty, generous portions and cooked with care and attention. My chicken Balmoral was brilliant. Although Edinburgh has an amazing food scene, I think it lacks really good, homely pub food - and that's what you get at The Percy - and it's very favourably priced.”
