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.

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!

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.

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.

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 :)

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

What a wonderful and authentic pub in Edinburgh. If you’re looking for a discret, charming, timeless place to spend the evening, like the ones movies bring into your imagination, you won’t be disapointed at all with the Bailie, in Stockbridge. Just go down the stairs to the basement where a confidential door-window will open to a marvelous circle counter, which is a magic view ! Inside, drafts, beers, spritits and affordable meals will enchant you for your entire evening. What ever if you are local, foreigner, there is no bareer in there. Just the pleasure from the waiters to assure you a very good time to live, into a warm and traditionnal place, reliable to popular UK literrature & music. Perfect as well to enjoy sports events in a great atmosphere!

On a cold February morning the place only had front door heater on, which was not doing anything to warm up the room that had 4 big single plane windows. Food is too expensive, Full English for £15 and £5 for coffee. All the seating is hard wood or cold steal. Go to The Clock Cafe down the road for a cheaper, warmer and comfortable experience. Also they had their council food bin right next to the front door! Why!

Good atmosphere and reasonable prices but we had a very poor experience. Ordered two coffees which then took around 10-15 minutes to arrive (they weren’t that busy) then within a couple of minutes of getting them another member of staff came round to tell us that they were closing in 10 minutes. They then proceeded to clear up around us making it very clear they wanted rid. Not impressed. If you do decide to visit, suggest you check how long they will give you to drink/eat. If we hadn’t have paid up front would have walked out.
