Brewhemia in Edinburgh, City of

The place is beautiful!! The food is really good and the vibe is on point!

The best steak we've had. Comes raw on a hot lava stone to be cooked to your liking while eating. Friendly staff and nice enough service but an unexpected £30 tip on the bill was a bit steep. There were only 4 of us and we didn't have deserts and only 3 starters between us. When asked the waitress was very happy to take the tip off as we said we would still pay a decent tip just not that much but she then had to wait for a manager to take it off which felt awkward as staff staff should have this power. Nice atmosphere.

My very first stop for a drink after long journey. Good location just in front of train station. Wasn’t busy when i visited. Been seated but no one ask why i’m sitting here mean service is not good. After sitting some time, been to counter, grab a drink, enjoyed myself and move on to not come back here. Btw atmosphere was nice but it means nothing without service. Thats all my story. If you wanna try, then help yourself.

Excellent service and the steaks are amazing

I booked a table for 6 for our family Christmas day out back in October, and couldn't wait for my family to experience the festive buzz at Brewhemia. On the weeks running up to our reservation I was asked to move to an earlier time which we agreed to. We were sat at a table directly under a large loud speaker and when we asked if another table was available they said no- which was fine. We ordered 2 bottles of Prosecco, a coffee , 2 mains and 2 x sharing boards (which states on the menu that one board feeds 2 people). The waitress came back to the table and looked embarrassed to tell us her manager said we needed to order more mains if we wanted to sit at that table. We couldn't understand why we would order more food when we all had food coming. We asked to speak to the manager. Her manner was atrocious. She immediately had an attitude, and said we either ordered more food or they would move our table to another section and that I would have been told this at the time of booking. I was told we needed to dine- but it wasn't specified about how much food etc. We asked why the sharing platters were on their menu if they didn't count as a meal and the reply I got was "because they are." We were told "your food and drinks will be held until you either move or order more". I wish I was joking!! I explained I had booked this for my family and I was so embarrassed at how we were being treated. She shrugged her shoulders. I asked why on this instance they couldn't make an exception, we had already moved our reservation time from 2.30 to 1pm to suit Brewhemia. The manager was totally unwilling to make any form of exception (even though I showed her every email I had and not one of them stated we had to order "main meals"), her body language was standoffish, confrontational and rude. We ended up leaving, and I will never return. She totally ruined the start of our Christmas day out, and judging by the other recent bad reviews it seems like we aren't the only ones. The waitresses who seen to our table that day were lovely and I could tell they were embarrassed having to ask us to basically spend more money in order to sit at the table. (Date of visit- 14th December)

We booked this restaurant 8 weeks in advance for drinks and snacks, expecting a pleasant experience for our family gathering. Upon arrival, we were seated, given the menu, and placed our orders for starters, sharing platters, and drinks. Everything seemed fine until the manager informed us, quite abruptly, that we had to order mains. This requirement was never disclosed during our booking or in the confirmation email we received. When we showed the manager the email to clarify this, she was rude, patronising, and completely unapologetic. Her attitude was appalling—she outright told us that if we didn’t like it, we could leave. Feeling humiliated and embarrassed, we had no choice but to leave, as her behavior made it clear that our presence and comfort were of no importance to her or the restaurant. We were a group of ladies celebrating a family gathering, who were left stranded and scrambling to find somewhere else to accommodate us. This was, without a doubt, the worst restaurant experience I’ve ever had. The lack of empathy, humility, and basic respect shown to us by the manager was shocking. There was no attempt to resolve the issue or make us feel welcome—just complete disregard for our comfort and experience. I strongly advise avoiding this place if you value basic human decency and respect.

An incredible bar and place to eat, listen to good music sounded by a warm and friendly atmosphere.

Lovely venue. Food was good and the service was great. Felt wery welcomed.However, live music was too loud making it hard to catch up with friends. We were 4 pm sitting hoping to have a chat but it was hard to hear.

Loved it. Are there a few times, Breakfast and the Sunday Roast. Great service, good food, fun atmosphere and the bar is good.

Located across from the entrance to Waverly Station on Market Street. Enjoyed an excellent lunch of Jager Spatzle. Very nice atmosphere. Restaurant and bar area on ground floor, more dining on upper level. Friendly staff and prices reasonable. Family and dog friendly. Probably best to make reservations. Definitely worth a visit.

Some of the most expensive drinks in Edinburgh, insensible for their quality. The venue is vast with many rooms available, quite a nice space.

The food was delicious, the restaurant was beautiful, and the atmosphere was great. The staff provided excellent service. The salted cod was less salty compared to other places, the fish was tasty, and the fried onion rings were perfectly crispy. The orange wine had a great flavor. The restaurant is conveniently located near the train station, making it easy to get to.

I was served by a really genuine bartender upstairs at the café whom I think was called Josh. He made our experience at Brewhemia amazing!

Upstairs bar had four tables in but yet asking for half a pint of Guinness which is poured in the downstairs bar made us feel like a hassle and a pain after the young smug bartender rolled his eyes and smirked to his colleague about us asking for that and a cocktail. I’ve worked as a bartender for over 5 years so I understand about bad shifts and busy sections but for a quiet bar with a few tables and a basic drink order, there is no excuse for utter rudeness and smugness from the young bartender who should rethink if hospitality is the field for him

Never experienced such horrendous customer service. Despite having reserved a table for 6 a number of weeks ago, we were refused entry as one of our party had a jacket on with the Edinburgh Rugby logo. According to the assistant manager this breached their “no sportswear” terms and conditions. If you are therefore thinking of booking this restaurant during the upcoming six nations as we have done many times, then please be aware. Never experienced such nonsense in any other restaurant or city in the world

Good atmosphere, good selection of food and drinks. Cocktails are on the expensive side (£13) but still delicious and worth it

This was a different Xmas treat,most of it was really good,just a couple of things wasn't to my taste ,it is definitely worth a visit.

While the eggs benedict was great the crumpet was like rubber. Needed a saw to get through it. Otherwise it was OK.

Had our work Christmas night out in the private Boudoir Room, lovely atmosphere and decorated to a high standard. Would like to give an extra thank you to Fergus for being our barman for the night! He was really helpful especially with our numerous shot requests, great mixologist and an all round great barman! Thank you Fergus!

Came for the gentleman's afternoon tea and thoroughly enjoyed it. The food was of fantastic quality and the service was superb. We were able to substitute the beer flight for a pint of our choosing. I'd definitely return and recommend this experience.

Nice decor and warm place , lovely themed place but I’m disabled and got put out downstair at a walkway by the way everyone pushed by . Placed right under speakers too with autism and adhd customers. Crockery lovely , but food not nice over every dish we ordered . Spent £320 and needed a mcdeees after and that’s poor food as is . We are Edinburghers too and was rubbish service and no cutlery till asked 4 times . Some girls there are great workers but most servers talked too much or stood idle in posses .

The staff party was held at a superb venue; the live music was excellent, and I would certainly return.

Went here for some Christmas work night out pre-drinks and a bite to eat. Sat at the bar and was able to have bar snacks which were sublime, good selection. Staff were lovely and made for a great start to the day.

Came in during a busy period. Bar staff on duty was too casual and very slow. But we got a table and the drinks were fab

Alayna was amazing so helpful cleansing out table and provided amazing service she's lovely

Awesome place to be. Very vibey. Food is nice.Drinks even better if you choose well. Good and quick service by our waitress.

Place looks extremely festive and well decorated. Food is good for the prices and decent range of beer, although if you are gonna have that much Czech stuff have pilsner urquell.

Great food and service and the live music was excellent too.

Visited here on 14/12/24 for our work Christmas Party. First time coming and will definitely be back, food was delicious, staff were so nice and you felt really welcome, not to mention the amazing atmosphere. Well done everyone at Brewhemia :) xx

Amazing venue , great entertainment and brilliant selection of drinks. What a place

Hi there, a couple of days ago I came in for lovely dinner with my partner and I was so impressed by the greeting of a lovely red headed Australian hostess. I was blown her enthusiasm and willingness to serve me and my husband. I was then served by Ruby, she catered to all our needs and made sure our anniversary was the best one yet! Loved the haus schnitzel, will definitely return!

Brewhemia in Edinburgh is the perfect spot for a lively and delicious brunch! The spacious, vibrant venue boasts a unique blend of modern style and rustic charm, making it an ideal place to gather with friends or family. The brunch menu is fantastic, offering a variety of mouth-watering dishes, from classic favourites like eggs benedict to creative options that are full of flavor. The portions are generous, and the ingredients are fresh and high-quality. Pair your meal with one of their expertly crafted cocktails or a refreshing coffee for the ultimate brunch experience. The service is friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home. If you’re in Edinburgh and craving a top-notch brunch, Brewhemia is definitely worth a visit!

Brunch menu is horrible. Too meaty, you can't escape bacon. And no option for salmon or avocado. But the place is nice

Great place for a work Christmas party

I was on a night out with my friends and we were served by Angus. He was amazing and very attentive! Such an amazing experience and definitely will be back because of Angus. He is such a lovely guy and made our night

Great atmosphere with good live music, nice food and good drinks. Great for a big group. We just walked in but I would book.

Went for a works Christmas night out. Food was great, atmosphere was bouncing and cocktails went down a charm 🥂

Highly recommend sleighbell Sundays event, kids had a ball from start to finish. V memorable event for everyone was amazing

Amazing venue, amazing staff, amazing time !

Far too noisy and not good service at all. Food was lovely but had to shout to ask for coffee and tea. May go back when not so busy felt bit anxious throughout my visit here. Music far too loud! Too many stairs to climb not good for my disability!

Not good, no flexibility and overpriced

First time in Edinburgh and it did not disappoint. Lovely bar, great staff and the atmosphere was chilled and welcoming. Ordered an old fashioned and was recommended to to try the fight old fashioned.......out of this world!! Thank you!!

Drinks - A great experience apart from one thing; the service charge. While I’m more than happy to add a tip, or pay a service charge the one we received for an £18 antipasti plate on the ‘bar snack’ bar of the drinks menu (while sitting in the bar) was obscene. The item, which we ordered on its own at the bar we were sitting at, was priced at £18 and billed at £25. Not only that, but the price hike was not indicated to us, we were given a card machine which we tapped, and then discovered our bill had had a 40% charge added. When I enquired as to why the bill was now £7 more expensive I was told politely that it was a percentaged service charge, which no one seemed to be able to explain why was so high. It would be handy in future to have this advertised on the bar menus, as well having staff (who were all lovely) announce the price before paying (which is probably more important for those going contactless on a machine who’s face they cannot see). This is especially true if it is indeed a percentage calculated based on items. 40% on an item under £20 is quite the service. I’d dread to think how much it would have been had we added another item.

The food was nice, however service was a bit slow which is the only bad thing I can say about this place. The live band were really good.

Had a voucher for afternoon tea and overall, it was a good afternoon. Easy access from Waverly, attention to detail between the actual place and down to edible flowers on the afternoon tea. It felt luxurious! Only downside is we had to go looking for a member of staff if we wanted refills.

What a fantastic experience staff super friendly we had the afternoon tea added an cocktail cherry Bakewell was Devin celebrating a friend's 40th birthday Definitely be back again

The worst food experience I have ever had. I never normally go into much detail as this in a review but I think it is important for others to know. I recently dined at Brehewmia and unfortunately, it was not a great experience. Literally every dish had no flavour. We ordered the pretzels and the pork belly for starter. For mains, the fish and chips and the chicken schnitzel. The cheese sauce that came with the pretzel and schnitzel was lacking any real flavour—neither cheesy nor savoury—and I had to add salt and pepper just to get any taste out of it. The pork belly was a big letdown: just three small pieces served with a cheap-tasting mustard sauce, paper-thin apple slices, and a few garnish leaves that didn’t make it feel like a proper dish. Without the sauce, the pork belly tasted of literally nothing. It looked nice but the portion size was awful for £10. The gherkins were another disappointment— impossibly thin and tasted like they had only been pickled that morning. They were closer to cucumbers. Somehow, the fish was so bland that it might have been the most flavourless dish I’ve ever encountered, which is saying something. I’ve never seen fish naturally as tasteless as that in my life. Even if you don’t season fish it usually taste better than what was served to me, it’s like they somehow managed to extract the fish flavour! The tartar sauce was barely more than bland mayonnaise. Very cheap. With food you can usually smell it - all of our dishes didn't have any smell from it. The schnitzel was tough as a boot, crispy in parts but the texture was off: the top and bottom were mushy, and it fell apart like poorly cooked chicken. Its pale colour only added to the bland presentation. The chips were the best part, though I still needed to salt them. As for the schnitzel’s cheese topping, it was like eating Parmesan that had been left at the bottom of a frying pan after you made a meal, and you came back later to eat it—oily, greasy, and not intentionally part of the dish. The “crisped Parmesan” just tasted like scraps. The piece of Parma ham (or whatever it was) on top added nothing of value. The waitresses were nice, but the service wasn't that good. Multiple waitresses approached us too often asking us the same questions - felt very rushed. One asked if we were finished our food whilst we were still eating. They should focus on improving the quality of their food rather than the aesthetics. Overall, I left feeling genuinely sad, disappointed and very cheated by the experience, having paid almost £85.

Right opposite Waverley Station. I stumbled in randomly with my wife and suitcases as we were catching a train a few hours later. So. Fantastic service. Paulaner on draft a lovely lunch and we left full, merry and happy. Not necessarily in that order. Cheers 🍻

Phoebe was delightful! We came in for a wee drink before she our train back home and she gave us such a laugh! Love her so much, an asset to the team.

WOW! What an incredible venue - every city needs a Brewhemia. We hosted our first ever Singles Event at Brewhemia in 7 November the room was absolutely buzzing. So many people we asked had NEVER been to Brewhemia before so it was great to introduce lots of people to this fab venue. A huge thank you to the whole team who made our first (hopefully first of many) event at Brewhemia an absolute blast. It really is a unique and special place to have a fun night out. Next time we're in Edinburgh we'll be trying what sounds like a legendary brunch.

The atmosphere was lovely and so was the service. We had a Sunday Roast and it wasn‘t the best, the gravy was a bit watery and the knives were very blunt. The cheesy cauliflower was way too liquidy.

Its one of the biggest venues im Edinburgh, in the heart of old town. For that, it is both unique and can get a bit "empty" and not so cosy. The live music room could be toned down a bit when not super busy. The band was a bit meh. No vibe and impossible to have a chat like that. Beer selection is good. Food was ok. The pie was awesome. The pork belly was a bit tough and was nothing special. I liked the rueben croquettes. The spätzle was just super disappointing. Portions are on the small size. Prices are just ridicoulously high. Seems they are attempting to be fancy/avant garde, when German/alpine/British cuisine is all about comfort. Service was okish, maybe. Music hall bartender seemed lost or did not speak English properly. Waiters changed all the time. My beer waited some 5 minutes staring at me on the bar until someone finally decided to serve it while the bartender and a manager had a long chat. "Quiete" area waitress was super nice and maybe more attentious than I would've liked to, borderline rushing us from step to step, which was weird bc the place was empty. I think I told her some 5 times we wanted to have starters and order later on, she kept coming back for mains. She didnt know anything about what was on tap and served one of the rounds with something else other than we ordered. Smiley but not genuine. All and all the while experience felt impersonal, expensive and characterless. Its a shame bc I like the idea of the place, but execution is lacking.

Soulless, massive joint full of bangers on a Saturday night

What an extraordinary place! The atmosphere is amazing and the food was devine.

Visité el segundo fin de semana de su anunciado Oktoberfest con amigos mientras promovían una experiencia “renombrada”, y nada podría estar más lejos de eso. Actualmente viviendo en Perlach durante los últimos seis años, he tenido la oportunidad de visitar Oktoberfest en varias ocasiones, y Brewhemia no se clasificaría como Oktoberfest. Decidimos no cenar ya que las críticas anteriores pusieron de relieve las inconsistencias y los largos tiempos de espera. Me alegro de que evitamos la cena, ya que una pareja que habíamos hablado había experimentado la misma larga espera para la comida, problema recurrente aquí. ¿Cómo es posible malinterpretar lo que es Oktoberfest? Pero Brewhemia lo hace y decepcionantemente, no Festbier, no Marzen, que son ambos básicos de una tienda de campaña o evento Oktoberfest, solo una cerveza alemana, aparentemente se debe a su vínculo comercial con Paulaner. Beneficio sobre autenticidad según el personal del bar. Su folleto proyecta este glamouroso escenario del Oktoberfest, pero nada se asemeja mucho en persona, ni decoración, ni Tracht, ni falta de gama de cerveza, ni banda de Oompah. Más o menos una cerveza alemana y hotdog. ¡Las Normas Comerciales pueden necesitar investigar! ¡Mañana nos vamos a la verdadera fiesta en Princes Street Gardens, segunda vez con suerte!

Halloween night is pretty lively here in Edinburgh. Went online and randomly picked this establishment due to its proximity to our hotel and the fact that they had live music. Pleasantly surprised. We ordered three things to split. The hummus was tasty. It’s pretty hard to go wrong with hummus. The surprise of the evening were the cauliflower wings. Absolutely delicious and the sauce was so good we wanted to lick the plate. The hamburger was thick and it was obvious that it was cooked using top shelf ground beef. Restaurants here in Scotland are required by law to thoroughly cook their meet. In spite of being well done, it tasted remarkably good. Very reasonably priced as well. Got away with spending less than $100 (£77). That’s including 3 glasses of Prosecco. The band played all American covers including Monster Mash in honor of Halloween. They added to the enjoyment of the evening. The restaurant has very cool decor as well.

Bst service a bit slow despite not being busy

Freshly made. The ingridients were top notch, but spices were dearly missed. That delicious pretzel is screaming for some well imagined and made sauce. Overall not bad, but could be SO MUCH MORE!!! P.s.: drafted lemonade? At a place that looks THIS FREAKIN' AWSOME fresh handmade lemonade should be a MUST!

Brewhemia was absolutely one of the highlights of our destination wedding week in Edinburgh! We treated 20 of our closest friends and family to a lovely Tuesday afternoon tea in lieu of a traditional rehearsal dinner. Our guests LOVED and RAVED about the delicious sandwiches, treats, and scones--to this day, I have yet to have a scone as scrumptious as the one I had at Brewhemia's Afternoon Tea! But aside from the food and tea (which was SO GOOD, 10/10), the service was even more spectacular! The staff were so attentive, patient, kind, and accommodating for our large group, making the experience wonderful for everyone. Whenever someone says they are headed to Edinburgh, I recommend Brewhemia for afternoon tea without hesitation. <3

Large rooms, brewing kettle inside, gallery above, actually good seating. However, the acoustics are much too loud and the music is also quite loud. Service friendly and quick. But: one of the worst meals ever: three thin slices of beef loin, very stringy. The food had already gotten cold. A bed of vegetables, some of which have been completely over-fried. What was really bad was a big brown, fried dough ring. The food was returned and half of the money was refunded. Many types of beer. Unfortunately I ordered shandy, which was enriched with cranberry syrup. Unfortunately it didn't taste good.

Fui a Brewhemia después de un largo día de turismo en Edimburgo. Nuestros niveles de energía de bandera pronto aumentaron una vez que entramos en el área del restaurante, brillante, limpio y con un verdadero zumbido de actividad. Todos optamos por el asado de carne Rabbies 3, con la promesa de yorkshires ilimitados y salsa. La comida era impresionante. Fantásticas porciones y totalmente delicioso. Había algo de música en vivo para agregar a la atmósfera y el personal era atento y claramente enfocado al cliente. Estuvimos varias horas probando las cervezas y cócteles, el precio total estaba en línea con lo que esperábamos y era una excelente relación calidad-precio. Recomendaría a cualquiera, una experiencia realmente agradable

Tuvimos un tiempo fantástico la comida era deliciosa... el mejor asado que he comido! Tuvimos algunos cantantes en vivo actuando, lo cual fue una sorpresa ya que no habíamos estado en este restaurante antes. Increíble servicio y ambiente! No puedo recomendar lo suficiente!!

Sitting a table of 8 diners between unpleasantly live loud music and two speakers made the whole experience pretty unbearable. Not much point in dining together if you can't talk to each other

Great place to hang out before your next train!

Increíbles pasteles y cruasanes, encantador café. Realmente delicioso cruasán de merengue de limón, y el personal amable. Ubicación conveniente para Waverly.

Food was okay, had the lamb burger, very tasty but a bit over processed and It was clearly a frozen burger in a bun. Atmosphere was fantastic and waiting staff lovely.

Great venue with live music and great food and drinks!

Had an hour to eat and get to my train but my schnitzel arrived in 10, thanks Nick! Also there was live singing which was nice but I wasn't paying much attention...

Cool place but the bar service is awful. Way too few bar staff. Was a good 30 minutes queuing each time. Gave it another shot, went back for a second (and last) time, service hasn't changed and really let's the place down.

Went in for a drink as I had time to kill waiting for my train. Got the feeling that I was in the way a bit, they would prefer a group of people not a single person. No crisps at the bar, could only get food off menu and I didn't have time for that. Nice beer though but don't think il go back as it has not left a good impression.

Absolutely loved this bar. Went here twice on our stay in Edinburgh. Tank beer from Czech Republic. Staropromen imported on tank, budvar on tank. Also bitburger pilsner and pauliner on tap. We ordered a sourdough pizza which came in a little steep at over £16 for a margarita. I thought the drinks prices were a little on the high side at just under £7 a pint. I only usually pay that much at the airport. That being said. It was good enough for me to visit this bar twice, so the price obviously didn't put me off too much. The bar itself was beautiful and massive. The beer speaks for itself. Keep up the good work but remember tips should be at the discretion of the customer and should not be added onto a bill as people feel awkward asking for it to be removed. I didn't ask for it to be removed but I really do think it's a cheeky little scam. The food is pricey enough and the staff should be paid accordingly.

Services was by Ryan, his first day and he was delighted, clearly an asset to the establishment and hopefully is treated as well as he treats his customers. Thank you Ryan.

awesome place, great atmosphere, brilliant staff.

Very disappointing dinner. The food was beyond average. Burger was cold, bread was stale, more batter than chicken on the parmi, portions/sizes were small and food overall was so bland there was basically no flavour. Not worth the 60£ we paid nor the 13£ service fee. Very overpriced for the quantity and quality. Only good bit of our visit was the live music.

Great place just outside Edinburgh Waverley Station. Loads of drinks options, clean environment with great atmosphere.

Cozy but spacious place with a wide selection of beers on the tap, some good food to pair with your drink, table service was really excellent, very attentive and friendly.

This is a damn cool pub! Not only is it freaking huge, but it also has a wonderful stage for live music which just adds so much more to the atmosphere of the place! Budda bowl was also pretty delicious!

An evening visit for beer and snacks after work. Note the amount we spent in not indicative of the price - we were entertaining - Whilst I am not a drinker the array of available beer was impressive. The staff were Friendly and it was not too loud etc. we reserved a space so had lots of room and it was very comfortable to sit chat and drink 🍷 Bar food was nice we ordered pizza, sausage chips etc. felt like a reasonable deal with lots of 2 for 1 👍 bargain I personally did not like the cauliflower wings 😱 needed me some chicken. I would definitely recommend Brewhemia nice part of town too ! However there are down sides You can’t create a tab and if you put money behind the bar that’s not spent they give it back as vouchers. This is both horrible and a huge turn off especially when doing client entertainment The manager was less than helpful and a bit full of himself to be honest, but the staff were super nice. Sadly they also ran out of cask beer which again is madness But in all as I did not have to deal with the manager or the bill issue all was good for me

No slimline tonic (Fever Tree Light isn't slimline because it contains sugar). Cramped seating.

Absolutely loved this place! Food was stunning , the vibes where strong. Came as huge group for 60 th birthday Sunday roast and had a such a laugh. Throughly recommend. Solid prices and good quality food 👌

Loved the atmosphere and decor. Reasonably priced for where it is.

a really lovely restaurant, the food was really good and the coffee was excellent. The ambience is also really chill.

I was here for an event, it was packed but since it was a known amount they were ill prepared to smoothly serve the customers

When you walk in it does not seem huge from inside but it is huge multiple bar, open for breakfast to afternoon tea and dinner.

Incredibly beautiful experience.

Cheeky pub Both inside and outside

AFTERNOON TEA review. When here one Saturday during the Fringe, it was jumping. It is a massive place, nicely decorated, a range of seats. Absolutely loved the copper stills. A lady was singing at the piano. We had 2 tables just for the 2 of us in a wee bay window. When the afternoon tea came out, we were grateful that we had the 2 tables. The platters were massive. Fantastic service, lots of staff on and always cleaning. Food was great. No issue for a doggy bag. Only let down was that the teaspoons were dirty. Would definitely go back for food, coffee and cake or just drinks. Great location.

Afternoon tea was standard,the side door was open the whole time so place was freezing. Service charge added on the bill that you can request to have off. Wouldn’t return for afternoon tea but the cocktails are nice and Barman seemed very knowledgeable about them.

I went there with friends and colleagues for drinks🍸. It was wonderful. Fantastic atmosphere and live music

We stopped here for lunch immediately after arriving in Edinburgh by train. The atmosphere and food is fantastic. Our waitress was absolutely brilliant. So professional and friendly. Couldn’t fault her service. I had to tell her how great she had been. She deserves a promotion! Our experience was so good that we decided to get lunch here again before catching our train back home. This time we were seated in one of the larger booths on the left hand side as you enter. There was cold air blowing onto us and giving us the chills. I asked ( the manager I think) if the aircon unit above us could be turned off but was told it wasn’t even on and there was nothing they could do. We were made to feel we needed to just put up with it. We weren’t offered another table elsewhere even-though there were plenty of others that were empty. Our food then arrived so we stayed put and ate our meal whilst shivering. We then asked for two cappuccinos so we could warm up. They took about 25 minutes to come because the person making the coffees got the order wrong and seemed to be preparing other drinks orders before making ours right. Our waiter was great to be fair. He was very professional and apologised for the slow service, and took the coffees off our bill. We couldn’t wait to get the hell out of there because we were so cold. We were hoping to relax and perhaps order another couple of drinks as we had time to kill. It was cold and raining outside but it was better being outside rather than sit at the table with freezing cold air blowing on us. We have no idea where it was coming from either. If the manager would just have had the decency to set up another table for our comfort, we would have been fine. So sadly, our second experience was not a patch on the first. Just goes to show that the staff on duty and the table you get allocated can really make the difference between a good experience and a bad one. The food was great both times though!

Great place and good food they had all doors and windows open which made it cold

Average place with very slow service

Popped in for a couple of pints after exploring Edinburgh.Great choice of cask ales, gins and wines.Also do food if you require to eat.

We went to the cafe up Fleshmarket Close. It was the very first place in Edinburgh we stopped at for a cappuccino and it was really good. The server was very friendly and helpful. Was great for a quick beverage and a few steps to the Royal Mile

Nice place and good atmosphere. Not ideal for a date scenario as from my experience they don’t do drinks table service so need to spend half the time waiting to get served, when you should be busy getting to know the person not waste time?

We arrived for dinner and drinks and were informed that half the menu was not available to us due to the table we were sat at. We did not pick our table. Our server Steven told us if we were not happy to just leave. Horrible service. The table 10ft away from us were allowed full menu but because we were say at a certain table, outwith out control, we were not allowed certain menu items. Cannot be sure this was not classist discrimination because it certainly came that way. When everyone around you is eating pizza but your table is ‘not allowed pizza’ it certainly feels targeted.

WOW saved 20% discount by using my Citycard @ www.citycard.co.uk Fantastic tasty cuisine, serving dishes you'd expect from the best restaurants. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and hot. Service is always fast and efficient. And what a tremendous value!

Absolutely phenomenal bar and restaurant!!

Beautiful 🤩, Spacious 🙂, Clean 👌 Restaurant 👍, Very Helpful and Pleasant Staff 👌👍, Food fresh 🥩😋, excellent 🥩🤤, tasty 🥩😋🤤, Great presentation 🤩, 🙏 Thank you 🙏 and We definitely recommend 💣🤩💣

Came on recommendations and reviews. The food was, i have to unfortunately say nothing special - we sent one course back as it was cold and the replacement wasn't much warmer. Lots of beers, mostly lagers - fair enough for a German theme - had Guinness instead. It was OK, nothing special, have to say, I won't be rushing back.
