Amber Rose in Edinburgh, City of

Great traditional pub with great drinks and atmosphere warm and friendly

Staff are rude. Food is terrible. Honestly, if they made the place more welcoming, it would be boss

Came in for a full scottish breakfast and quick coffee before my train up to Aberdeen, came quick and hot, filled me up for the journey north. The staff were very attentive with my drinks and food, hope to be back later for the boxing as atmosphere was good and plenty of tvs!

Really, really disappointing. Most of our group ordered the Sunday roast, which turned out to be a terrible choice, because all of the vegetables were just cheap frozen packs of carrot that they'd blitzed in the microwave. They also ran out of Yorkshire puddings but didn't tell anyone, meaning that half the group got them and the other half didn't. There was no communication from the staff about this at all. The mashed potato tasted like flour, and the meat wasn't great either. I ordered the English breakfast and was similarly disappointed. The egg was just rubber; incredibly overcooked and unpleasant. The bacon was chewy, and the potato scone had literally no flavour. To top it all off, our food took over an hour to arrive, despite the place being almost empty and most of our food having been cooked in a microwave. We wanted to introduce our friends to the British roast dinner, and honestly they probably have post roast trauma now. Such a poor experience overall, and really disappointing given the other great reviews.

HORRIBLE FOOD. i can warm up frozen food better than them. the unlimited yorkshire pudding ran out… and overall just tasted horrid.

The sunday roast was the worst i've ever tasted. The mashed potatoes, roast carrots and potatoes tasted like packaged frozen food. I'd rather have bought cold cuts from the store than eat another bite of the hand carved beef. We only liked the yorkshire. pudding... and they ran out. The food took forever to arrive which is so confusing because nothing tastes like it was cooked in that kitchen.

Food was Amazing. Lovely Staff and Atmosphere for owe 2nd trip to Edinburgh

Having visited numerous pubs and bars in Edinburgh during our visit. This is by far the best. Even the toilets were spotless. Will definately come back next time I'm in the city.

During the rugby match between Scotland and Australia, eat and drink there. A party!

Love this place to bits. Know what your getting in the Rose great food good prices and excellent service. Will keep coming back here everytime I'm in Edinburgh.

Great pint & live music from numerous musicians.

Nice atmosphere, Macy was very helpful with the selection of draft beers

Staff were welcoming nice bar not good for people with mobility issues

Great affordable food and drink served by professional and courteous staff.

Spent a very pleasant afternoon with friends

Little pricey can't lie £6.25 for a pint of Innis and Gunn and £4 for a cranberry juice a bit too much but can't expect less on the main part of the city. But highly recommended if you wanna watch football for sure.

The young blonde bartender was so rude. The nachos were bad….

Went there a few times and it always great. The drinks, staff and atmosphere are all really nice.

Lovely place and enjoyed the food. Friendly service will definitely go back!

Matt is an awesome staff member who was friendly and happy to help us navigate the best tours to do and places to visit whilst we were visiting Edinburgh.

Fantastic Great service by Matt highly recommended.. Keep it up Matt, a credit to the venue 5 stars

Lovely, lovely staff who could not do enough to help us have a great stag afternoon. A multitude of large TV screens all showing live sport. Nice range of food options. Recommend highly.

Nice lunch, nice service, cool vibe - thanks to Matt for great service.

The Staff are always giving the best customer service

Had a really good time here, nice pub with a good vibe, big thanks to Matt for the amazing service

Quiet when we visited but still a warm and welcoming venue with fantastic staff, great food and a good choice of quality beers

Came in today for a catch up with friends and was served by Matt. Great bartender and great atmosphere, thanks amber rose!!

Met some of the girls for drinks today at the amber and Matt served us, he recommended a couple cocktails that we might like and we loved them! Thanks Matt, we’ll be back!

Fantastic pub. Macy stood out as a server and is a credit to the establishment. 5/5 would come back

Was in yesterday and gavin recommended the mixed grill and a pint of wingman. Sensational, will be back

Gav recommended me a superb local lager with a smile

Was in during the fringe last month and had an excellent experience. Gavin provided outstanding service and was able to recommend great spots and shows across the city to make our weekend great! Will definitely be back

Great pub, very traditionally Scottish! Great vibe and brilliant server Antonia!!!! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇮🇪🇬🇧

Came in a good few times throughout the summer, great location for watch the euros. Not only do they have a massive selection of drink but they also have a huge menu. Even to the point I was spoilt for choice and had to ask one of the employees for advice. A lovely young man by the name of Gavin suggested the crazy chicken burger and it was delightful. Fabulous staff and a lovely atmosphere!!!! Will be back soon!

Omg thank you Antonia. Beer amazing, service even better!!!!!! Would of been lost without you!!!!!

Lovely meal, the food was fantastic. Outstanding service from Gavin, will absolutely be returning just for his chat! Thanks again!

Really nice pub with a local feel even though it is really central. Quiz night and music on too during week. Bar staff knowledgeable about drink offerings, got good advice from Gavin on what to order.

Great pub in a fantastic location. Selection of food and drinks caters for all tastes - Gavin provided recommendations on what we should have, along with some good banter! Highly recommend.

Went to the Amber for a couple of drinks with my friends and it was lovely. A employee called Gav suggested we tried Tennants with lime cordial- what a great suggestion! 10/10 for Gav. Can’t wait to be back and do the pub quiz.

Had a great time at amber rose last weekend with the gals, such a lovely pub, great atmosphere, but what stood out most was the very handsome, charming bar guy, think he’s called Gavin, he really made our whole experience so enjoyable, and we will definitely be back!

Went in to the Amber Rose yesterday for some drinks. We were served by Daisy who greeted us with a warm smile, she was extremely bubbly and sociable. Overall had a lovely experience here, will definitely be back xx

Cozy. Friendly staff. Delicious food

A decent pub which has sports broadcast and live music on certain days of the week. Location is convenient for a couple of drinks when other places are full.

An "ok" pub. Servers were not very friendly or helpful - a small example: they didn't know what the "soup of the day" was. Tables and floor were 'sticky' from food/drinks residue and obviously not thoroughly cleaned. Mens' washroom not clean. We won't be repeat customers.

Cozy Scottish pub with good food and nice ambience. Reasonably priced with good sized portions.

I was served by Adam who made my experience coming to the but so much better. He was polite, helpful and attentive at every moment. I could not wish for a better service. I will definitely be back with the whole family.

Stopped by for a drink and some grub on my way home and was very happy with thr service I received. Adam was great, very accommodating of allergy needs and made sure everything was safe and clean for us! Thank you to Adam

Had a great visit to the Amber Rose recently during the Edinburgh festival. Served by Adam who was very friendly and helpful. Will definitely return and recommend to others

Had wicked scran & booze at the amber rose, west end Edinburgh. Served by Adam who really knew his stuff especially on whiskies! Look it up

Me and my fiancé had a wonderful evening last weekend when we came in for a meal and drinks, the atmosphere was fantastic and the staff were brilliant! More specifically the young man Charlie was brilliant and was the highlight of our night! Pretty sure he was a manger and rightly so! We will be returning and we look forward to it :)

Great food, and a great place to stop for a place to eat. Manager Chaz made be feel very at home

Quiet for lunch (which suited). Steak & chips, beef chilli. Competent and reasonably priced.

Food was really good, fast and friendly service. Especially the manager, Chaz, he was extremely helpful when I asked for vegetarian recommendations.

Before heading to the tattoo we stopped into the amber rose for a few drinks. Where we were served by a delightful gentleman called gavin who gave us recommendations for after the show of where to go and what to see and even recommend us places to go in Edinburgh whilst we visit. Splendid chap !

Came in tonight for a quick couple's pints. Had the pleasure of being served by Gavin. Truly excellent service

The atmosphere was amazing. Me and my friends were up in edinburgh for a week for the fringe and Matt served us the whole night, his accent and charisma charmed us. He was excellent, so attentive, all our needs were made - excellent bartender.

Had a great night out, thanks to manager Charlie! Gave me and my friends fantastic drinks and service!

Had an amazing time thanks to bar manager ‘Chaz’ wish I could have him all to myself at my home bar. See you next time darling ;)

friendly atmosphere, excellent staff including macy who i was served by and she was very approachable in helping me out.

Mediocre food, no service, and no ambiance.., suggest you go find something better, unless it’s pouring rain outside..

came in for a pint and was served by a fit ginger lad called matt, he provided great recommendations and was pretty easy on the eyes too! thanks matt, you made our night !

on holiday in scotland from china for the fringe and came into the amber to try our first ever pint of tennants poured by bartender matt. couldn’t have asked for a better day out. thank you to everyone involved. xx

Came in today with the family for an escape from the crowds to a cosy scottish pub! Matt recommended us a special shot he called the “cement mixer” (wouldn’t recommend unless you want to make the bathrooms a little dirty haha) will definitely be recommending the amber and matt to my friend for our next stag do!

Lovely venue, great pint and bar tender Matt made me feel really special.

Matt is a dawg, really knows his way around the bar and man can he pour a crisp pint. If your ever here, ask for Matt, he really knows how to make your night one not to forget

Was just visiting for the festival. Watched lots of shows found this little spot and found the atmosphere great, good comfort food and great staff in particular Matt, was very knowledgeable found us beer a local beer and catered to my allergies.

The manager Chaz/Charlie is amazing! Always very approachable and chatty gives great service and helpful. 10/10

Came in for a lovely meal, atmosphere was brilliant and my server Antonia provided 10/10 service ! Would definitely recommend !

Always my spare time allows me I stop by and have a dish of very professionally prepared and also the best ingredients alongside that having a pint...but tonight in particular Charly and Gav made happened my experience to blow to another level...in a positive way!!! Thanks again Gabs

Came in for some food and drinks during the Fringe on Monday. Adam served us and took our food order, was super helpful in giving us advice on what food to choose on such a large and varied menu. Lovely vibe in the the bar with music on and sport on the TV, will be back at the weekend after Adam’s recommendations.

Went in on the weekend and was served by Gavin behind the bar. Very professional and gave great service. 10/10

Antonia the bar worker gave me fantastic service and such lovely company when my date stood me up 😢

Came down for a few drinks and was served by a barman Gavin. Very polite. Thoroughly recommend for a drink and a meal

The atmosphere was great, start of the prem, what can you say other than a great day to drink. Gavin serving me was a true gent as well, very funny

Pretty perfect pub in my opinion, atmosphere was class but not to rowdy on Saturday watching the football. Food was good, had the small Plates watch are a decent deal and the pints were cold crisp and place seemed nice and tidy. Staff were great everyone that I spoke to, Macy was really helpful picking out good gins for my wife and introducing me to new pints instead of my standard Tennents, definitely worth poping in when in Edinburgh.

Just regular. They didn't have the meat on the menu. The burgers are not bad. The one with blue cheese is pretty good. You have to order food at the bar and pay for it when ordering. He asks you if you tip, but how are you going to tip before you know what the service is like? And, furthermore, if you have to order at the bar, the service is reduced to having the food brought to your table. And the worst of all. They placed us under a huge TV, and they were broadcasting the IPS-LIV match. With a Liverpool fan, dressed in his shirt, behind us screaming like a madman every time (2 times) his team scored a goal. And, furthermore, other people looked at us badly, because we covered part of the screen. It's a pub.

Was served by a handsome gentleman who went by the name “Chaz”. Very kind. Will be back to see him ;)

Welcome non-existent and not at all friendly, the waiter is anything but smiling. You pay first, and you are served: uncooked, bland and cold vegetables, plus they don't give you the cutlery, you have to look for them yourself, without a word of apology! Frankly, to avoid!!

Enjoyed the open Mike night. Quite entertaining!

Great pub with live music and a nice atmosphere bar staff are really friendly.

Had a lasagne was banging! Neil gave some great banter too

Just dont! Sticky tables and TV blaring everywhere so great if you want sport in your ear everywhere you turn. Cheap plastic food and slow service

Love this place, always a great vibe for a drink and a dance!

Bored waiters, bad service. I had a lasagne, but there was hardly any noodles in it. Tasted like it came out of the package. TVs everywhere and very loud!

Good fish and chips great staff

Burger was good but the chips nearly broke my teeth and the portion was small to say it was 14.99

Place is a little cramped. The food was alright, nothing too great. Wouldn’t recommend the chicken tikka masala.

Only had a drink but it was friendly and relaxed

Kid friendly before 8 PM. Cask beer on tap. Food is good and given comparables in the neighbourhood, it is not nearly as expensive.

Good food for a pub. Quick, easy meal. Nothing outstanding. Affordable, too. Had the chicken burger, mac n cheese, and onion rings

Large servings, good pub food. Great service.

A nice subterranean pub in Edinburgh. Popped in for a round with some friends on a Friday night. Service was good, but slow even in what looked like a fairly quiet night. Lots of drinks choice and plenty of seating so definitely worth popping in on your way past!

My family decided to give this place a try, as we walk past it every day as we walk to and from our hotel. Absolutely amazing food - large portions, very reasonable prices, and such lovely staff! We had the steak and ale pie, the fish and chips, mixed grill, and steak and chips - they were all made perfectly. Especially want to give a shout out to the brown haired girl working behind the bar - she was so helpful and kind. A little loud/busy, but it is soccer season, so nothing to be unexpected haha

Lovely pub, really friendly staff, The steak was amazing.

I’d recommend stopping by this place for a pint or to catch a match. Food is what you’d expect from a Pub so it’s on you if you come here expecting more! Fantastic vibe and very lively at night with live music!
