I used to do the karaoke in this wee gem of a place. Not sure if it's still open as I'm sure i seen a lease sign up at front of it 🤔

Great little pub (holds about 30) but when they have live music it gets busy so if u want a seat u have to get there early

There is nothing special about the bar. But the barmaid is very friendly towards everyone. So it creates a friendly environment.

Fantastic little pub. Small, very cosy and full of really friendly locals. The bar maid was really friendly and helpful, will definitely call in again when I am next in the area.

Wow, this pub is just a little room!! You couldn't get any cozier. The perfect place for a drink and natter. I have never encountered such a kind barmaid who went above and beyond just because. I'm looking forward to bringing them as much business as I can when any friends come to visit.

Just popped in for a quick pint on our way back to the tender for our cruise ship. Had a pint of Belhaven Best and my wife had a tonic water. There is a great selection of whiskies behind the bar. It is a small bar for locals and everybody seemed to know each other. Barmaid very friendly and made us feel at home. Not very busy when we visited on a Saturday afternoon.

Myself and my wife popped inn for a couple of drinks on the off chance while passing by. We enjoyed the atmosphere of this small bar - read other reviews that the bar is full of locals - We found the locals very friendly along with their well behaved dogs - The Anchor is a traditional Scottish pub and nothing fancy for sure but it is what it is and have an open mind.

Went with a couple of friends to all the pubs in the are. This pub was the last pub we called at. Definitely won’t be back. Disgusting pub, toilets are a total disgrace. I’m shocked as why this pub was allowed to open after the lockdown. Bar maid was ridiculously lazy. Looked like she would rather be at home. To crown it she got herself a chippy and sat at table and ate it. Then decided to have a lie down on the seat. If you look on toilet door there is fly paper with dead flies on it. Needs closing down.

I was a visitor to South Queensferry and, during my visit, I was introduced to The Anchor Inn. The drinks on offer were fine and the service could not be faulted. However, The Anchor Inn's real plus-points are its regulars.

Popped in for a few afternoon drinks, decent selection of gin, very good pint, small old man's pub but well worth a visit. Very friendly.

I enjoyed my pint in the Anchor and the chap behind the bar was a very nice guy. Unlike the other two pubs in town however, the Anchor was pretty quiet on the evening we visited, so had no appreciable atmosphere. Of course I realise that it may be busier and more lively on other evenings. Having said that, I enjoyed a bit of banter with a couple of the, admittedly, well-oiled locals and would happily use the pub again. In the interests of fair reviewing however, I must say that of the three pubs in town, on this particular evening this one was decidedly third.

had 2 pints of beer in this establishment approx 2hrs apart. On both occasions I was served prompt and of all the places I visited in SQ tonight this pub served the best pint. Staff and locals also friendly and I would certainly go back if I have cause to be in SQ in the future.

A real local pub not catering to the tourist crowd. This is a "what-you-see-is-what-you-get" place; and better for that. Great drinks at great prices & a friendly mix of staff. If you bypass this pub, you've missed part of South Queensferry.

Grumpy, characterless barman who'd rather play on his phone or sit behind the bar with a face like he's dropped a fiver and found a penny. Plenty of passing trade and an alright place but nothing to make you stay. No hospitable hospitality.

En nuestra encantadora visita a South Queensferry decidimos entrar un bonito pequeño pub que no parece demasiado ocupado.Al entrar, descubrimos dos cosas, que 1 ¿por qué era tan tranquilo y en segundo lugar el insoportable olor.Ya que tenía un levantase la escasa variedad de cerveza el aspecto y comentarios del día hora local viejos chicos era suficiente para poner fuera y nos mandó a el próximo más acogedor pub al final de la carretera. Cuando nos fuimos nos aseguró el pub de nuestra decisión cuando recibimos algunos comentarios desagradables.Las críticas de este pub no reflejan nuestra visita, quizás por la noche cuando la calidad de atención al cliente ha cambiado las cosas se ven mejor.

Este acogedor hotelito bar es un soplo de aire fresco en los numerosos pozos de agua turísticas concurridas que abundan en esta franja de costa. Después de un agradable paseo por la calle principal adoquinada fue una agradable sorpresa de encontrar esta joya en el borde del pueblo. El propietario tiene un muy bien abastecido bar que satisfará todos los gustos y como una ventaja también resultó tener el mejor 'Guinness de barril" en Escocia. Siempre te das cuenta de que estás en un bar especial cuando es frecuentado por los habitantes de la zona. Sin duda, un lugar para un refresco parada cuando visite los famosos puentes. Yo se lo que es mi nuevo abrevadero en el futuro.
