Bailie Bar in Edinburgh, City of

The Sunday Roast ws very fatty. The service was slow and the waitress queried why we didn’t want to pay an inclusive 10% gratuity. On my comment about the slow service she answered that they were very busy. When I told her about the fat on the meat she questioned why I didn’t draw her attention to it when asked if the food was ok earlier ? This led to a rather unpleasant atmosphere after paying the bill failing to apologise for our less than sstisfactory experience or wish us goodbye when leaving. Disappointing also was the Sticky toffee pudding which was more like a syrup sponge and the ice cream was pretty tasteless. Dont think we will be returning in a hurry.

Este lugar apesta a hospitalidad y amabilidad. Los lugareños, el personal de oficina, amigos y turistas pasan por aquí y se van más felices por ello. Deportes de esquí, excelente selección de cerveza y un ambiente constante de conversación hacen de este un "pub" de primera. El personal es brillante y también el Guinness!

Been going for 30 years as a really great pub but was told tonight that it was a football bar and wouldn’t put the rugby on - when did this happen???

Tuvimos suerte en el Bailie Bar para el almuerzo después de un recorrido a pie de Dean Village. ¡Qué maravilloso hallazgo! El personal era muy acogedor y amable, y la comida era verdaderamente excepcional. El pastel del día (pollo y gotera) fue uno de los mejores que hemos tenido en nuestra semana en el Reino Unido. La selección de cerveza y cerveza fue genial también.

The best waitress I have ever met! Super friendly, cheerful, funny and happy to modify our order to our liking. Absolutely love their haggis. The cocktails, beer and whisky is so great and come with a really good price. Honestly, my best experience in Edinburgh 🫶🏻

Very welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff. Large selection of draught beers, wines and Spirits great selection of food which is very good

Exceptional food and atmosphere

Great pub in a great location. Great tap selection.

Excellent pub serving delicious meals with a great atmosphere. Close to the waters of leith and Stockbridge for shops

A gem in Stockbridge! I recommend going to this pub and having dinner here! As it is not in the city center, it's not full of tourists (like we were) so it seems to be more were locals go. We felt very warmly welcomed, the bartenders and waiters are great. The food is amazing, one of the best burgers I ever tasted, and they have good variety of drinks. The place was super cozy, it's the kind of place that you want to stay in for a while.

The nicest pub in Edinburgh. Not in the center, a little hidden. Splendid welcome, EXCEPTIONAL food. Warm environment.

Me gusta The Bailie Bar, pero hoy solo pasé por aquí para tomar un poco de sopa y tengo que decir que no era genial - espárragos, jamón y guisante. Había trozos duros flotando en él - parecía pepino No estoy seguro de lo que era y era £ 6. 50 que pensé que era caro para la sopa

Stopped by this basement bar on the way back from Dean Village. So glad we did. Food was excellent, and the pints went down easy. A must stop on your way back to the castle.

Not been in the Bailie bar for many years and am pleased to say it's just the same as it always was, a classic old brown bar. Great selection of beer at the bar, the food was good and we enjoyed our visit. Well good! Lovely staff, great food!

Staff brilliant 👏 always a busy pub

Dog friendly pub with good food and service.

Went here after a long run. Sweaty and unexpected. Manager couldn't be more helpful and welcoming. Service was friendly and genuine. Pie of the Day was amazing.

Look down! Lol this is a basement bar so we almost missed it. Fish and chips were delish. Friendly quick service from the bar.

Cracking little bar that seems to cater more for locals than some of the other bars in the vicinity, but passing trade like myself isn't made to feel unwelcome. Really good cask ales served by super efficient and friendly bar staff. The bar was really busy so I was never waiting very long, but it was hard to get a seat. Should have come earlier I suppose. Plenty of big screens for watching sport and food is served here, but I haven't tried it. Would highly recommend a visit.

Great atmosphere, food, sweet female bar staff ❤️

Brillante comida de pub, ambiente y servicio. El pastel de pescado era excelente con una buena porción de verduras. Lo recomendaría para una acogedora noche de invierno

Lovely staff in a busy little city centre pub!

Very good service and delicious food A very Scottish pub

Qué bar fantástico. Noche de diciembre. Fuego ardiendo. Pub lleno. No habíamos reservado, pero el personal del bar ordenado está fuera. La comida era increíble. Juego Pie 10 / 10. La joven que nos atendió (chica rubia cuyo nombre no me dieron) nunca paró. Gracias.

Fantastic bar , great staff ,helpful and polite.

Only popped in for one drink to see what the craic was, and was greeted by an absolutely gorgeous pub frequented mostly by locals, with a fantastic atmosphere and super-friendly bar staff. I look forward to returning at some point.

Best pub in Stockbridge. Maybe in the world.

Only had a snack whilst having a drink but very nice Felt very welcome in the pub. Beautiful place and ambiance

Very nice pub , staff are great , good beer, good atmosphere

Great pub, classic decor and atmosphere, good beer, food and service.

In with a group during a walk. Excellent bar, food top class , made to feel very welcome during our stay. Recommend without fail, well done The Bailie Bar.

Sat outside in November. Cosy even outside. Very nice toilets. Lots of character.

Excellent service and quality of food very good. Nothing was too much bother.

Fish pie was tasty but not a lot of fish. Bulked out with carrots and peas which were in the separate vegetable side dish. Good service though. Going to be

As another said - what a little gem! We stopped in for lunch while exploring the city. I had the 6oz steak and egg with chips and peppercorn sauce. It was fabulous. My friend also enjoyed her lasagna. The service and atmosphere was great. We sat by the fire, which was cozy. Definitely recommend!

Great place away from tourists. Super welcoming staff and warm atmosphere Good food and nice choice of beers and ciders A very good experience

Our favorite spot for an evening pint or 5. Staff are excellent and attentive. Great atmosphere.

Proper local pub with a good selection of beers.

Nos gusta este lugar; nuestro piso está cerca. Apreciamos el ambiente antiguo del pub y la amabilidad del personal. Tres de nosotros disfrutamos del Pollo Pot Pie; un montón de sabor. El lado acompañante de puré de papas y verduras al vapor eran útiles. Uno de nosotros tenía Fish and Chips; una porción enorme, tan sabrosa como en otros lugares.

Nice pub Lovely staff especially Angus

Absolutely amazing spot. Friendly & comfortable bar with a very attentive & welcoming staff. 100% would recommend.

This is one little gem. The food there (at least the soups we had) were perfect! The atmosphere was coazy and the service great. Spanish chorizo soup and cauliflower cream and truffle soup were perfect! Hope we will be back and that the chef of theirs doesn't leave in the meantime :)

We had a great time with some really nice local IPAs and some surprisingly good soups for lunch! Their soup of the day selection, this time a Spanish chorizo soup and a cauliflower cream and truffle soup were delicious and definitely to return for!

Super ambiente, buena comida y banda local tocando por la noche. Definitivamente una joya de un lugar. Todo el mundo tan amable y el personal. Se admiten perros, lo que ayudó en nuestros viajes. Lo recomendaría a cualquiera que busque una gran noche

A busy, lively pub ( was Thursday evening). Serving staff handle the place well. Some good ales / choices. Decent prices. All good.

Omg, no puedo creer cuánto ha cambiado este lugar de la llegada desagradable a la comida. He estado viniendo a este lugar cada vez que vuelvo a casa con toda mi familia durante años. Tal vez 6 veces al año, siempre tuvimos una bienvenida muy amable del antiguo gerente, y la comida era fantástica. Qué experiencia diferente esta vez el nuevo gerente fue tan antipático y no en absoluto acogedor y la comida ha ido cuesta abajo. Siempre tenemos pescado con papas fritas. El pescado estaba demasiado cocido, y la masa se podía partir por la mitad y qué servicio de restaurante patatas fritas con pescado y patatas fritas. (TAL VEZ MCDONALD'S) . Desafortunadamente, no volverá.

How a pub should be! A proper local bar.

Nice dinner in a friendly and relaxed place

Cracking pint of Schiehallion. Very well run pub the staff are a credit to all. 😃🍻

Best pub food ever. Highly recommended. Vegan food available.

Mala comida en un ambiente desagradable. Tantos otros pubs por aquí ¿por qué irías aquí? Se fue y fue a Hamiltons, que era mucho mejor con un personal encantador.

Nice friendly bar in Stockbridge Area - very good for Lunch and reasonably priced - attentive Staff - overall very nice.

Just a great Edinburgh tradition 🍺

We were looking for a real Scottish pub and we didn't expect to find such a stylish, super cozy pub. The food was super tasty and the service was super friendly! We have absolutely nothing to complain about except that we would like to come back but unfortunately we are no longer in the area! Really incredibly beautiful and delicious!

Great pub with a lively atmosphere and live music.

Good homemade food well priced pub never changes always good

Really great wait staff. Burgers were HUGE!

If you are from Spain and you like blood sausage, you really don't care about haggis, it tastes the same and here they serve it delicious and at a good price.

Met some friends for food and beer. All good

Purely since they don’t “have a license” for babies…weird

A real gem- fabulaous- all a neighbourhood bar should be and more

It's often the staff that make a place great and the staff here are all exceptional. We are always greeted with warm friendly smiles and receive the best service. Excellent choice of beers/cider on tap and the food is really good too. You're lucky if you get a space at the bar amongst all the regulars and get there early if you want in on the pub quiz on a Tuesday

Lovely fish and chips. Staff are lovely. Nice bar. Reasonable priced too

Really cosy place with great service. Great variety of options on the menu, including non-alcoholic beers and vegetarian meals. If I had more time in Edinburgh, I’d come down here again to watch a sports game or enjoy the live music. ☄️

a bit noisy/loud inside, but other than this a full hit

Por acaso, cruzei-me com alguém na rua a quem perguntei onde jantar. Indicou-me o Bailie Bar. Que sorte tive. Um pub típico com a zona de bar e a zona de refeições ambas confortáveis até na proximidade. Jantámos lá. Empregadas simpáticas e eficientes. Ambiente bom. Comida boa e saborosa e com um um preço justo. Gostámos muito e guardamos na memória mais esta boa experiência na nossa viagem à Escócia e em concreto a Edimburgo. À hora de jantar o comércio já estava fechado, mas, tivemos pena, por ser um sítio que nos pareceu delicioso também.

Amazing experience here, I ate a wonderful fish & chips with a local beer of course. It was awesome, one of the best I ate so far, highly recommend ! Inside it's an cool pub, very traditionnal, lots of space, but a bit crowdy (just check if there's a game on tv before you go if you want to be more chill). Even tho it was one of my favorite place in Edinburgh, can't wait to visit again :)

The food was really good and the service was attentive and friendly. Cool pub with a nice atmosphere

It is not possible to overstate how much I recommend this pub. Great prices for beer and whisky, the staff and locals you will encounter are all wonderful people. I would come back every night I'm in Edinburgh if possible. Tourists, if you think this is "too far out of your way" - you are wrong. Make the trek. There is plenty to see outside of Old Town.

It was really good until the music started🤣

Always my first port of call when I’m back in town and our usual local when we’re in Edinburgh, great to settle yourself into for an hour or two with a pint or two after a wander along the Water of Leith or round Inverleith park and the Botanics. Also where I proposed to the wife almost 30 years ago, so a certain nostalgic element as well! Tried one of the citrusy IPAs that I enjoy these days, prompting a woman regular sat at the bar to comment darkly, “That’s just grapefruit juice, that stuff!”

This is a properly divey basement bar with plenty of charm and class. Old school vibes, lots of energy, great drinks, solid menu, plenty of pups included. A few good cask ale options and all the usual suspects otherwise. Throwback interior to better times. Great place to stop for a pint in Stockbridge.

A Great place to make a toast to Scotland! Friendly people, welcoming pub. Good information about their whisky culture and a very diverse choice of beers!

Fabulous food. Warm atmosphere

Staff were very pleasant and helpful and the bar was very nice

My friend and I had lunch at The Baillie a couple of weeks ago. The food and service was absolutely outstanding! Every course we had was quickly served, lovely and very tasty. The soup of the day was French Onion which had a lovely buttery flavour and it was served with warm and beautifully soft ciabatta. I followed this with the brie and bacon ciabatta and then sticky toffee pudding, both absolutely beautiful! The eating area has a cosy and friendly atmosphere with attentive waiting staff. We really enjoyed it and said we will definitely go back soon. Would absolutely recommend! 👍😊

Cozy little bar, nice waiters, one of them told us about his connections in Hungary after he found out where we came from. The food is delicious, the place itself is very cozy. The draft beers on the other hand were not cold enough and the IPA I got didn't feel like an IPA.

Phenomenal place to visit. Even just for a quick pint. Every customer is well taken care of.

Mine host was welcoming, staff were attentive and food was Fabulous

I have reviewed the Bailie before, first time was 2019 when i went with my husband who has since died. We had a lovely meal at the time. I have been since and the prices have crept up. I visited again yesterday and i have to say it is quite expensive compared with other pubs. The food is still nice though. They don’t do the cajun chicken anymore and you get less fries. I had the 1/2 fillet of haddock - this was nice. I don’t know if i will go back. It was fairly quite when i was in apart from two women who after staring at the menu a while just ordered the soup

I really liked the atmosphere of the pub, typical, old-fashioned, with relaxed people, happy on Friday evening. The servers are friendly and efficient. Large meal.

Good selection of hand pulled beers.

Proper old fashioned pub just like a pub should be. Tasty food - large portions - open fire. What's not to like ?!

Came in for some shelter for the rain in the afternoon, thankfully there was a lit fireplace to get warm by. Staff were nice and the locals had a great vibe. Didnt eat there though, just had a beer and a hot chocolate.

On a cold stormy January night what could be better than sitting by the fire in The Bailie with a drink and chatting to friends. Excellent bar staff

Great pub with lovely staff Ice cold asahi on taps a bonus

Great service and atmosphere. Food was great for a locals dish

The best local in Edinburgh an open fire, with great service and great wines beers and spirits on offer a real treat

Best Bar around about The Stockbridge area.

Lovely local pub, great ambience, good service

The staff .. they make this bar the best in Stockbridge . Morgan , Angus , Tom , the girls ( we miss Lauren , Caitlin and Courtney ) but still . The service is always on point , the chat is always right and they look after you like a wee local pub should . Best pint of Tennants in Edinburgh . A real locals pub . Food amazing also . Go here and enjoy

Honestly the best service! Sarah was awesome, so attentive and welcoming. The food was great too!! Definitely recommend.

Excellent basement bar with eating. All the ingredients if a good bar without any pretensions.

Absolutely love visiting this bar when I am down in Stockbridge. Fantastic atmosphere great staff real feel good memories. A must if you've not been.

Came in for some food but in all honesty the menu was extremely overpriced for the quality of food they were serving, it looked good on a plate but wasn’t so tasty. I got the steak ciabatta but the steak was very dry and tough so I didn’t manage to eat it all which was unfortunate considering it cost upwards of £15. The atmosphere was lovely and ir was really warmly decorated for Christmas, definitely felt like a nice environment to be in despite the uncomfortable chairs. Service was pretty slow and when calling over wait staff my friend and I were completely ignored a few times. Probably won’t be back for good but seems like it would be nice enough for an evening drink.

Superb “locals” pub, only 20 mins from Central Edinburgh. Booked in for a meal in the bar area, good tasty food, great beer and wine. Fantastic atmosphere. It’s a bit of a walk but not that far really. It’s worth it. Highly recommended!

Cozy bar full of locals. Nice pint, open fire and good welcome.

What a little gem, wonderful service Very friendly staff, food outstanding, pleasant cosy eating area and delightful atmosphere. Best bar by far in Stockbridge. Will most definitely return!

Always a pleasant experience. Great place for meeting up with friends

My favourite local pub when I lived nearby. Consistently tasty food, friendly staff and a fun atmosphere all round - whether that was for the pub quiz, when we were in at the weekend to watch football or rugby, or random quieter weekday evenings when we fancied a pint. Nice as well that there is live music on Fridays. A really great traditional pub.
