Ale House in Edinburgh, City of

Great food, great service with a smile and honest opinion. (It's vegan which is even better) Very filling and hefty portions. Recommended for anyone in the area. Desserts are a must ⭐

Spectacular pub. Great decor and vibe

I recently spent 2 nights (11th & 12th October) and it was 1 of the best overall hotel experiences ever. The accomodation, food and staff were absolutely first class and went above and beyond in my opinion. It was with my son and daughter to celebrate my 70th birthday and the hotel even gave me a gift. I would totally recommend it and will definitely stay on any future trip to Edinburgh.

It's not the same as it used to be but the nacho towers, beer selection and jukebox are still decent.

Cute pub, amazingly friendly staff and great atmosphere!

Bonkers decor, a visual feast! Sometimes hosts Drum and Bass events, as per video!

Interesting bar, lots to look at and good music , but the bartender was so unfriendly. The butter-beer was good.

Overpriced, hyped up pit! Staff is beyond rude and the butter beer is disgusting! Don’t waste your time or money!

All the way from the Paisley, West coast where the Weegies dwell , had been to a wonderful concert ( The Go! Team by the way check them out;) .. Drinks are reasonably priced, not tourist trap prices . Asked for help with procuring a taxi... Request met ! Not sure I got into that taxi? But got me where I had to go.. excellent bar . If I can find it I will definitely go again. 5 rainbow 🌈 series elephant acoustic fuelled mousses.

Really like the decor and the atmosphere. Not so keen on the beer selection which is a little limited

Very a unique place with a very Interesting interior design. Good music.

If you doubt the best bar I visited in Edinburgh. The place is beautiful, very cool. The music is great and the people who serve are very friendly. I highly recommend stopping by for a whiskey or beer here if you visit Edinburgh.

Amazing vegan food in an eclectic pub. We had the Battered jumbo faggis sausage supper with macho peas + lemon fole supper + fonkfish supper, all for £30ish. Some of the best vegan food we've ever had👍

Lovely boozer and very welcoming to all. My wife and I came for the vegan fish and chips, stayed for the vibes (and friendly dog). Not the best selection of beers in truth but some decent Beaverton and inches ciders etc.

Live music and good atmosphere.

Maybe it was off time. Place is different and cool but the bartender seemed so uninterested in her work as bartender and sat out of the bar on her phone not interacting with her 3 guests.

Great atmosphere. Quirky decor. Good mix of music.p

Amazing pub. The decor is very unique and definitely worth checking out. Music was also cool. As you may have guessed this pub is very dog friendly! Only had a few pints but they tasted very clean unlike some places.

Don't think I've ever experienced bar staff who serve you without talking at all, just staring and scowling. Must be quite challenging to keep it up. Terrible service, expensive beer, annoying clientele. The pint was ok which brought it up to a 2 star.

Amazing, queer-friendly, and full of awesome people (staff and patrons alike) - highly recommended

Great decor, friendly staff and tasty drinks

Overpriced pub. Young helpful staff, though place reeking of dope. A good pint of Inches cider made it worthwhile.

MEGA cool place with strange decor.

It's a bit 'special' :) But worth a visit!

Everything's cool, confusing events...

Lovely staff and lovely atmosphere! Went a few days ago for a wee drink on my own and thoroughly enjoyed myself.

I love this place so much! Bartender was really friendly, drinks were nice - I tried the lavender menace cocktail which was amazing. As a drag fan, I went with some friends on their monthly drag bingo night and it was great fun - Krystal and Violet are hugely entertaining hosts and great performers, it was a great shout for the pub to get them!

absolutely brilliant time with my sister fran

What a vibe this space has got!!! Love the quirky interiors and decor…. The doll heads and body parts on the tap are the best. Amazing vibe, lovely crowd and excellent service

Had just a butter beer Tasted very good Definitely a try worth

Friendly atmosphere and staff. Awesome design and overall fun.

Cool bar, very decorative! Nice bartender who mixed good drinks. Come here to try the well-known Butter beer, which we have now done for the first and last time. But worth a little visit!

Fantastic pub. So interesting and so much to see there. The venue itself is a work of art.

Loved it lots, so heavily decorated and drinks were epic

Very nice and cool pub. Didn't sell food on the day wr were there, maybe too early. Atmosphere was good and bar staff very friendly. Decorations were amazing.

Great pub , with great staff. The menu is pretty varied and the prices aren't too bad. But by far the best reason to visit is the interior which is so unique and you will keep seeing something different during your visit, from star wars ships hanging from the ceiling to whatever is this baby in a disco ball.

Most probably the best bar in Edinburgh. Wonderful staff, amazing decoration, excellent shots. And the ambiance is just perfect.

Staff are friendly and helpful, the atmosphere and energy is really positive and I enjoy going every tuesday.

Went there for the butter beer, it was delicious!! The decorations are incredible and the atmosphere was really cool! If you're a student, you can have discount on the cocktails (not on the butter beer) Highly recommend!

A very unusual, but friendly bar. On the other hand, I did not understand the ban on under 18s on a Sunday afternoon.

Super Liberal and Progressive and WOKE pub - loved the atmosphere and has a nice enjoyable time here :)

Great bar, Friedly staff. Excellent music choice gives it a great atmosphere. Excellent cocktails at reasonable prices, with discounts for students. Our first visit, while up visiting the surgeons museum. But would certainly go again.

Very quirky place, great atmosphere and so fun to just look around at all the decor! Didn't eat here so can't comment on food

Great pub with live music, packed lively atmosphere

LGBT friendly venue. Nice atmosphere, great food. Love the music. The food is tasty as nom nom nom

A really cool bar. Had a nice, friendly vibe and some awesome music on. Could do with some more alcohol free beer and we were gutted we missed the ferrets.

Prompt service and a great atmosphere with music played by a dj at the pickup, retro music you can't help but dance in such an environment!

The Dog Houses is a fab place/pub to hang out for queer folks in Edinburgh. Love the decoration and the vibe!

Cool bar but everyone I was with ordered food and the fries for everyone were soo salty. Probably will just stick to drinks next time.

Coolest bar in Edinburgh, great Butterbeer

Great little place with amazing butterbeer and a butterbeer cocktail!!!! Amazing friendly staff.... thank you for letting us in

Very quirky decor, darts board to play, pet friendly, happy vibe , nice drinks ... unfortunately food was closed on Christmas eve but that's alright.

Great pub good atmosphere staff very good food good and plenty of cocktails for the ladies

Pleasant and vibrant little pub. Affordable prices so full of students. Never tried any food so cant comment on it.

An interesting place, but the atmosphere is a bit weird and political for me.

It's a very quirky place but love it

Lovely place! Decoration the best✨🫶🏻. We had some drinks and stayed there just for an hour but it was totally worth it 🐶 ❤️.

This is a fantastic wee pub, the food was great once we got the qr code to work and well worth the wee bit of a wait to get it.

Good live music, only downside was how hard it was to get to the bar. Nice interior decorating.

Smashing place, very accommodating and great guy on the front desk ( sorry we didn't get your name but you worked all over and gave us a great story about how everyone things Edinburgh has an artic weather compared to England which left us laughing as it has indeed been artic here haha!)

Think l was to old for this place. Beer wasn't that good either.

As someone who is trans, doghouse is the most inclusive and friendly place I’ve ever been. The staff are incredible and I actually feel safe here. You’re all amazing

LGBTQI+ friendly quirky bar with a butter beer (not very good) and a butter beer cocktail (delicious).

Nice place and environment but the butter beer is just butterscotch and fosters and in my opinion very very bad. Should of got a Guinness. My fault.

Went for a drink after dinner with some friends, quirky pub with very odd decorations. Lovely atmosphere and young and friendly people, there was DJ playing live music on Friday night. They also serve butterbeer!

a very cool bar, we went here for the butterbeer which was more of a coctail, but very good taste!

The butter beer was just average, nothing more than just butter syrup in the beer. Nachos and Baked Potato was just awesome. The ambience is good but not very tidy/clean.

So the blue Haired lady decides who’s in or out based on random choice based on who knows what, no offence given, or any harm just not being severed based on a child’s experience. Let’s see after a afternoon mucking about how the recommendations go and thus business

Yeah! Nothing more to say about this one! The location is lovely and the team is amazing. Enjoy your evening here and meet new friends and dogs.

Had an amazing blood orange margarita! Offers a student discount.

A truly great place for a good catch up with friends and family. The staff are amazingly welcoming and friendly. There was 2 great guest DJ’s playing vinyl 45’s ska / reggae music. I’m hooked and I’ll be back again soon. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

Perfect, pet friendly, vegan friendly - great music and staff

Staff was very friendly and love the vibe! Just sat alone enjoying the Sunday

Nos tomamos unas cervezas!! Muy buen ambiente.

Loved this spot! The decor is eclectic but so well done - everywhere you look there’s something quirky and different! It was very busy on a Saturday night but staff were sound. Also ideal for student discounts (£5.60 for double g&t).

Had a great time here the staff very friendly and helpful will be back

Amazing pub with crazy decor, cocktail selection was brilliant as my partner can attest. The Antojitos mexican food was amazing, the best I've had. No tacky tex-mex, proper mexican tacos and nachos.

Good vibes, good music, good food by Anjitos and spend hours every visit debating whether something was on the wall or ceiling days previous.

We had a very nice holiday there

Im Internet zur Harry Potter Runde beworben. Kein Eintritt unter 18! Butterbier vorhanden aber auch kein Verkauf zum Mitnehmen für enttäuschte Kinder möglich! Für Erwachsene ein schöner Ort und hätte dafür 4-5 Sterne bekommen

Great food, friendly people and everything is vegan.

A lovely place to stop for a bite to eat and a drink. Very friendly staff and really eclectic decor.

Funky punky shabby-chic bar.. good beer.

Really good environment and nice butterbeer!

It was a good place but after evening, in the morning it closed

Love the design. Nice selection of spirits.

We came here for butter beer! It was amazing taste and the interior was Instagrammable as well.

Quirky pub with a good Atmosphere and friendly staff. Definitely worth visiting

Super gemütliches Ambiente, tolle Musik, sehr sympathisches Personal und wunderschöne Einrichtung. Die vielen Gegenstände, die an der Decke hingen sind echte Hingucker. Es gibt viel zu sehen und jeder Platz wird kreativ und optisch toll genutzt. Hier gibt es das einzige Butterbier in der ganzen Umgebung. Anders, als in den Harry Potter Filmen, aber trotzdem sehr lecker 😋 Ein echter Geheimtipp!

The interior is a total work of art! Very stunning and unique decor. This pub is a staple of Edinburgh culture. Staff is kind. Drinks are a bit overpriced given their size (£8.5 per cocktail), and can be a bit too sweet. They do offer student deals and discounts, making them more affordable (£7). The space is very inclusive, especially to LGBTQ+ individuals ❤️.

Amazing all-vegan gluten-free food, incredibly dog-friendly, a great vibe and great people on both sides of the bar. Instant favourite!

Lovely bar mostly caters for students as they get discounts we are pensioners both worked all our lives but have to pay full price does have a good vibe about it and was not made to feel out o f place but a bit pricy for me recommend for younger people but unfortunately not for us

Fun pub with interesting decor and epic food.

This is the ultimate mixed crowd, chilled atmosphere hang out in Newington. Cool cocktails and vegan food available.

Really fun colourful pub with lots of crazy decorations and easygoing atmosphere. Friendly service.

Fave place in Edinburgh, amazing drinks and vegan food, great staff, great music, amazing vibes🧡

The atmosphere was absolutely amazing. The bartender was also very friendly and she was so nice! If you can go to this place you need to experience it!!

Been coming here for a long time. Great staff, great cocktails and great music. Highly recommended, very quirky and happy bar😎

Best cocktails in Edinburgh, great quirky venue!

Best vegan mexican food I‘ve ever had. So fresh so clean cocktail also made im heaven. Very happy customer.
