Absolutely the Worst Bar Experience I've Ever Had If you’re looking for a place with zero atmosphere, rude staff, and drinks that taste like regret—look no further. From the moment we walked in, we were treated like an inconvenience. The bartender looked like we interrupted their nap, and it only went downhill from there. We waited 25 minutes for two beers in a place that was practically empty. When we asked (politely!) about our order, we got eye-rolls and attitude like we were the problem. And when the drinks finally arrived, they were warm. Warm. Beer. The music was loud enough to make your ears bleed, but somehow not loud enough to drown out the argument happening between two staff members behind the bar. Super classy. We left after one drink, and even that felt like too much. Save your money, your time, and your dignity—go literally anywhere else

Went for breakfast, £15 per person, the open buffet was a joke, just yoghurt and jam and a couple cheeses, main course was acceptable for me but my gf's pancakes were microscopic and cold. There were barely any cups for the tea, and I had to ask for hot water for every cup because they didn't have it on the buffet. Also the milk was missing. Would not recommend!

Visiting Edinburgh and fancied a pub dinner and drinks. My partner and I ordered food together and his came out first, which is absolutely fine. 35 minutes went by after my partners meal had been delivered and still no sign of my food. And no acknowledgment to my food not arriving, despite waitresses cleaning up my partners meal and not saying anything about where mine was. After I chased up my food, they disappeared into the kitchen, came out and put my dinner on the table - 50 mins after ordering at this point and there were no apologies at all and chips were slightly warm and there were no offerings of sauce or condiments. Totally understand mistakes happen, but keeping the paying customer in the loop and apologising goes a really long way and I would have completely understood and appreciated their apology and explanation. Very poor

We walked up and down Grassmarket looking for a pub with room inside to escape the cold and managed to squeeze into Biddy's. Drinks were reasonably priced although bar service was quite slow. We shared a scampi spice bag between us which came out quite quickly and hit the spot. The "Irish curry sauce" advertised on the menu was definitely just tinned McDonnell's, but it was nice nonetheless. The staff need a better system for table numbering and ordering because twice we were offered somebody else's food by the waiter!

Last February 21, I went with my family to drink 2 Guinness beers at this bar. When we arrived, they served us well and gave us the 2 beers, but when we paid with the card, the guy at the bar told us that the machine failed and that we had to repeat the payment with a new machine. We were confident that there had indeed been an error and made the payment again, where we were told that it had been effective. After leaving the bar, we checked our bank account and found that we had been charged twice for the same beers. In view of this, we went to the bar the next day and were told to contact them via Gmail so that the money could be refunded. We never received a reply, no apology, no solution, nor were we refunded the extra £14 paid. For days we kept insisting and never received an answer, we felt ripped off and with a very bad impression of this bar.

Terrible experience! You have to do the orders food/drinks by yourself and have to pay extra service tax (service that doesn’t exist) 2pounds for each order you do! If you go to order something 3 times you will be charged 3 times the service that they don’t have! The food is small plates/portions and super overpriced! Resumed you do everything by yourself and pay them! You feel like an idiot!! I do not recommend

The food is not bad, it's good pub food. On the other hand, the service was deplorable, we ended up doing the service ourselves. They didn't give us enough cutlery for everyone and when it came time to pay, the waitress was unparalleled in her condescension and contempt. We felt like we were disturbing her. So for a service that we pay for, it is deplorable or even non-existent. I don't recommend.

I found the food at this place pub was rubbish. They don't have most things on the menu. We had a Sunday roast and there was no lamb or pork available and that was like 12.30pm. The vegetables was not cook properly and there was hardly any gravy on the food so asked for a bit more gravy and was charged £2.00 for that. We mentioned it that the gravy shouldn't be charged and the staff just ignored us and still.charged us for the extra gravy.Wouldn't go back here for food. The staff wasn't very friendly people either. Also, they charge service charge on the bill. Never once the staff asked if everything was okay, did we enjoy the food but was quick to charge service charge on the bill. Don't think we'll go back here again or recommend it.

Unsanitary at its FINEST. They reuse beer glasses under the spout. They never once wash their hands. I saw a lemon drop and roll on the floor and the girl picked it up and started cutting it again adding it to their lemons and lime pile for drinks. We were disgusted.

Advertised as the smallest pub in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (although I have my doubts that this is the case). Near Grassmarket Square and Victoria Street, we are welcomed by a typical pub with screens showing old matches in black and white. We found it by chance and it surprised us, it has a varied offer of well-drafted beers and a generous menu. We ordered the Fish & Chips and the Mac & Cheese and it was all delicious. They were very quick to serve us and very friendly, the time we spent in the pub was very pleasant, thank you for everything.

When we asked staff for a menu a couple times, they got snippy with us, but we didn't know. Other than that, the staff working the bar were decent and guests were having a great time.

Fantastic pints, and great food. But here’s the issue: the service is woeful. Sorry, and I do love this pub, but was left standing for 10 minutes at the bar while 4 times the bar staff ignored me to tend to their friends who had walked in. Then proceeded to serve other patrons who had just arrived. And sadly this is not an isolated incident. Bar staff simply seem to pick and choose when it suits them to serve paying customers. And until that changes I simply won’t be coming back.

Pedí un panini con café. El panini estaba mal empaquetado y se cayó de la bolsa, que no era lo suficientemente grande para ello. Al agacharme para recogerla, derramé la mitad de mi “leche en el costado”. Como la cola era muy larga no me molesté en volver y quejarme, solo me comí el sándwich, esperando que no hubiera adquirido ningún microbio desagradable del suelo. Cuando me fui ya estaba más tranquilo, así que hablé con un miembro del personal, creo que se llamaba Debbie. Manejó las cosas magníficamente, como un diplomático experimentado – se disculpó encantadoramente, dijo que transmitiría los detalles de mi queja para asegurarse de que este tipo de cosas no volvieran a suceder, y me dio un café gratis y un bollo de canela – aunque no había pedido nada. Gracias, Debbie.
