  “We read about this place, right on the royal mile. It’s a bubbling pub with lots of tables. Kids are welcome as long as they order food. The food was outstanding, we ordered bangers and mash, scotch egg and Cullen Skink which is a local soup. Both were amazing. Staff was very nice with our group of 8. They put us in a back area which was perfect. The pornstar martini is delicious”

  “Not really sure what to think of this place, came here 11/06/26 at about 7pm. The food was incredible but the staff let the place down massively. It was very difficult to get the attention of the staff and we were left waiting to order for ages,.They spent a lot of time huddled at the back in the bar area. The male member of staff had a particularly bad attitude, when we finally were able to order, he brought our drinks over to the table and literally slammed them down without a word. He spent much of the evening slouched against the wall playing on his phone, peacocking around and play fighting with the female staff. At one point he was overheard making fun of the American customers. He also kept repeatedly lifting up his shirt to reveal his bellybutton and I have no idea why, but it was very off putting whilst I was trying to eat my tea. The rest of the staff were just bang average. Certainly not worth the 10% (thankfully optional) service charge they automatically slap onto your bill at the end. On this basis I can only give 3 stars, and they are all on the food, fair play to the chefs, the cullen skink was amazing.”

  “This is a beautifully lit and designed tavern. We loved visiting for ciders and ales. The team by the bar were all super friendly. This is among many excellent taverns in Edinburgh and on the Royal Mile that I would strongly welcome recommend - especially when you’re searching for a warm, cozy spot during an adventurous wintry day in the city.”

  “Not bad! This pub is nice, has lots of sitting space and the service is ok. The menu has good options if you're intrested in local food. Not pictured here we also got the mussels ( really tasty) and a classic hot dog. Overall the food is good. The real deal is the dessert. We got the waffles and wow! They had ice cream and brownies on top, worth the money (expensive). I don't think it gets busy enough to need a reservation for lunch.”
