Bridge & Castle Bar in Edinburgh, City of

Literally just left here 10:00am Tuesday 27th may girl left a guy on his own behind counter the kitchen bell was ringing for ages about 4 tables food sitting in kitchen under food heater I could see through glass in door. Butter ran out of its paper crazy carry on

This bar is landside but we only found it when someone kindly told us it was upstairs! Very close to the entry to the security area. Food prices are not too high but beer is at airport prices. Good to see Beavertown Neck Oil on tap. Great spot for people watching but try to avoid the hen parties! Happy to recommend if you need to wait landside.

Lovely lady Mags served us, 8am and she was cheery and busy . Wish more people in the world were like Mags. Doing lots of jobs at one time. Attending to everyone ! A real tonic !

Server was excellent!!! Friendly, and efficient. She does your organization proud!

we had a lovely breakfast and the waitress mags was very welcoming and kind through out our experience here

Friendly service, prices a bit high but normal for an airport. Food is freshly prepared and served quickly.

The fish and chips I ordered were disgusting, even the fries were terrible. They refused to offer me anything else, and I had to pay for another meal. Really unprofessional service.

Mags was the best. She gave great service with a smile! Good, quick breakfast before catching our flight.

Nice food, Mags & Morhmgan weee lovely, very helpful and cheery, seems a lot of work for one person, maybe more staff as they had a lot to do 😁

Lovely lady working there who answered any questions I had, food is good

Caro y lento. Esto no depende del personal. Por segunda vez en un mes estoy aquí y de nuevo solo 2 empleados detrás de la barra trabajando. Estoy escribiendo esto ya que estoy tan impresionado por un miembro del personal. Una dama de cabello oscuro y gafas. Teniendo en cuenta que se la corre de los pies es educada, encantadora y divertida. Era la misma en mis dos visitas. Bridge y Castle tienen suerte de tenerla.

Aparte de la proliferación habitual de las mismas cafeterías y sandwicherías familiares de siempre (Starbucks, Costa, Pret a Manger) este es el único restaurante realmente adecuado en el lado terrestre de la terminal del aeropuerto. En el lado del aire, todos los puntos de venta están muy ocupados, ruidosos y llenos de gente, así que me tomé mi tiempo antes de pasar por seguridad y tuve una última comida y bebida antes de volar. Desafortunadamente, la aplicación no estaba funcionando, así que pedir desde la mesa no era una opción, pero aparte de eso disfruté de una cerveza fría y una hamburguesa de queso haggis bastante agradable (empanada de ternera con Haggis, cheddar escocés, tomate, cebolla, lechuga y salsa de hamburguesas). En conjunto, una experiencia más civilizada ante la atmósfera infernal que espera más allá de la seguridad.

Horrendous service. Ordered via the QR code since they advertise it as a fast way to order if you're in a hurry. After 15 minutes I still hadn't received my drink. Had to go up to the bar where the guy looked bored. He just shrugged his shoulders when I showed him my order on my phone, grabbed the receipt on his till, waved it at me and asked if that was my order. Uhm, how would I know since I can't see what it says on his receipt? The place was almost dead, so there was no excuse for the slow service. Disappointing experience.

We had a lovely experience at Bridge & Castle. Jamie was super helpful and friendly and delivered excellent service! Will return again on our next trip to Edinburgh.

Stopped by while waiting for our flight. Jamie was really kind and offered us great service!

Jamie from bridge and castle was fab, great drinks thank you!

Thanks for Eva for a fredly service.

Great tasting food and exceptional service 😋

Eva was a legend and gave both myself and my father amazing service - all credit to her 🤍

Mags was very friendly, cheerful, and gave us prompt service!

Received great friendly service from all staff, especially Courtney

Not the worst pint of Guinness.

Prompt and polite service by Eva. Had a full breakfast and coffee. Good

lovely wee spot for some food and a drink before heading through security, Jamie was a top man and great service

Lovely experience! Mags is the best!

Truly catastrophic. You have to order with an app. She indicates that the kitchen is closing, but I can still place an order. 30 minutes later I am told that the kitchen the waiter comes to the table and tells us that the kitchen and that we cannot be served. I show him the bill and after 15 minutes of waiting again we are still not served. I request a cash refund and they ask for my email address. In a hurry to board, I left without being reimbursed. In short, they're just thieves, avoid this place.

Kenneth in edinburgh airport went above and beyond for us whilst being responsible for training a new employee. Cant praise him high enough. Made our experience perfect. Thank you u so much kenneth

Mags was the best bar person and host ever..

Food was lovely and came quick. Shout out to Mags. She’s so lovely and will do anything to help

Terrible visita. No hay cola solo gratis para todos. El pedido de mesa no funciona. El personal del bar es dolorosamente lento. Cocina cerrada Sobrecargado por bebidas, vino grande mismo un pequeño 🤷🏻 Moscas por todas partes

Comfortable space to spend a few hours at the airport. Good food and coffee. Mags, the bar manager, was super helpful and an absolute delight to interact with.

Avoid at all cost. Shockingly lazy and rude staff that would go out of their way to refuse any service and ruin your day. Tried ordering with the QR code system since we did not want to arge but it doesn't even work. An almost empty place right beside departure on a busy afternoon...should have seen the red flags from miles away to be fair.

Kenneth was a superb host, extremely friendly and professional,great start to our holiday.

Manager was really help. Bar tender I guess is new

Poor service, half of the menu out of stock.

A very nice lady helped us with good food!

Just what we needed after a long flight. Will be back again. Crisp pints of iced water and enough brown sauce to make any Scot proud, flowed like a Highland stream. Good burger. Good spot for people watching.

Ordering using phone did not work. One waitress behind the bar and the rest of staff was hidden anywhere. Food was tasty, but service has large space for improvement.

Service from kenny was outstanding thank you

Was having issues with the order online as items on physical menu (such as plain chips) were not showing up so I decided to go up to order. I was told 5 mins fo my order to taken which I would have been absolutely fine with only for the way it was said. The girl behind the counter said it with an attitude and said it in a snarky way so not in the nicest of ways. I understand it can be a stressful job but I felts offended as if I could not use the order from table (I could but what I wanted on the menu wasn't showing up on the browser to order)

Lack of customer service App too slow to accept payment and orders Too interested in the job interviews taking place than the customer experience

We had a great experience! Kenneth was personable and friendly. We had the Korean Chicken burger and Bacon Roll, both were delicious. It was a great way to start our travels.

Service with a smile and interested in our travels

Came in yesterday for a bite to eat and a drink and i have to admit it was pretty expensive but the service i had made up for it Jamie was so nice and chatty its had to see people working with passion nowadays but here you find it right away i cant thank him enough for taking care of us with a huge smile on his face nothing was too much trouble some places back home could use people like him. THANK YOU

Fantastic food, tastes just as it looks!!! Delicious. Great service.

No vayas aquí son groseros e insisten en pedir vía código QR. El lugar estaba vacío cuando estuvimos allí no pedimos ya que los modales no cuestan nada y por lo general el cliente es el rey. No aquí evitar a toda costa.

As soon as I walked to the bar Kenneth had a huge smile on his face, took my order had great banter with me. He went that extra wee bit for us, couldn’t be more helpful. What a great start to my holiday. More places need a guy like Kenneth. Give this guy a promotion 🫶🏻

Server went out of his way to make us feel comfortable, the chef was on a break but he made our pancakes, really appreciate him. Thanks so much.

Servicio súper amable. donde la comida del aeropuerto es normal bajo par. . . esto fue súper. Chips crujientes por fuera y esponjosos por dentro. Hamburguesa de queso y hamburguesa de pollo son de los mejores que hemos comido. Gracias de nuevo al amable personal.

I went there for the first time yesterday to meet a family member before he flew out. The bar looks ok but the drinks prices are well over the top which unfortunately is par of the course for airport establishments. £11.00 for a Heineken & Half a Guinness. At least 3-4 pounds dearer than some Edinburgh pubs.

I found staff absolutely wonderful and very accommodating considering we had missed our flight. 10 out of 10 for customer service

Had a lovely breakfast and drink x the bar person Kenneth was super friendly and accommodating to everyone 😊

Standing here at 7.55am Friday 7th March 2025. Can't order food until after 9am as Chef on his break. You only serve breakfast till 11am so I will go elsewhere where Chef is not on a 1 hour break during breakfast service. Having worked many years in hospitality, this issue needs addressing.

Michelle was lovely. Very personable and a big smile. Soon as I can afford another flight I’ll be back

Kenneth was absolutely amazing at looking g after us.. loving the vibe and the service. Great start to our holiday..

Disgusting cleanliness, the bar taps have a thick layer of dust over them as do the glasses which are hanging above the bar, the bar staff aren't very busy just now as the kitchen is closed for update, so you would think that they would be cleaning rather than just standing about, if getting a drink here, check your glass is clean before drinking. Yuk

Kenneth is more than lovely. brilliant company before my flight.

The kitchen was closed which was out of the company’s control but Jamie who served me made up for it he was so lovely and wasn’t afraid to chat away to us would highly recommend this place just for the customer service the airport should be proud to have him as a worker

Kenneth great guy to have a chat with

Great service from the crew behind the bar especially Kenneth or Kenny. Checking that we were ok and if needing anything keeping the area nice a clean. Very pleasant guy

A bit too expensive, but other than that, ok.

Lovely women that served us this morning

First time using edinburgh airport and for 5 of us (2 adult,2 teen and an 8 year old) Food was delicious and was nice atmosphere to grab drinks and a bite while waiting before boarding

Very good service from the solo bar staff covering a large area. Nice clean bar with lots of choice and good seating. Good place to stop and recharge (plug in your phone). Laphroaig whisky recommended and was beautiful. All on same level. Toilet facilities nearby.

Waiter today was nice the food was lovely thank you for the nutella i will use it well the service was great bye

Was told by bar staff we could not order at the bar and we would have to scan code and do it at the table but we could still pay cash but unfortunately we could not do this. We received the wrong order and when I questioned it the member of staff stated, with an attitude, that what he gave us was what came up on there system, he proceeded to say this more than once and was determined he was correct. He then came back with the correct order and said he had made a mistake. I appreciate people make mistakes and errors are made but it was the disrespectful manner that was used to deal with the situation that was upsetting.

Pleasantly surprised by the quality of the burgers, decent coffee and Kenneth was very efficient and pleasant.

Very friendly member of staff Kenneth was chatty and welcoming

Lovely breakfast and the coffee was perfection 👌 Kenneth was super friendly and accommodating 😊 thank you!

Pedir por código qr es terrible, botella de sidra no llegó ni vaso ni hielo, Cuando mi esposa fue a sacar algo de su bolso el camarero fue directo al otro lado acusándonos de comer nuestra propia comida, cosa que nunca hacemos, persona muy grosera

Great service, Kennah brightened up our day after missing our flight.

Very clean great tasting food and very attentive staff

Brillient service, friendly staff especially kenny and very chill

Michelle severed us and was very friendly

Kenny was lovely and helpfull brillant member of staff

Superb food, extremely friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend Jamie and Eman who looked after my dining needs along with useful information regarding bag sizes on the flight. Top class.

Delicious food, lovely place would highly recommend. Very helpful and friendly staff. Kenneth in particular was excellent.

Kennath was a pleasure to sit and have a pint with as I waited on my gate. 5/5!

Mr Tartan trousers kenneth is just the best!! 💓

Kenneth was absolutely brilliant, great customer service a bit f banter.

Bartender (Kenneth) was first class, very attentive and customer service second to none, banter great too!!

Fab service from Michelle and Kenneth. Well mannered, polite and lovely people

Qué lugar tan terrible pidió comida y bebidas calientes , las bebidas llegaron primero y se terminaron antes de que llegara la comida , 20 minutos después todos comimos ciabata con jamón y queso £ 14 . 99 añadir patatas fritas calientes £ 2 tenía la menor cantidad de queso en todos nuestros panecillos y una rebanada de jamón decente, pero el pan, a pesar de que estaba caliente era duro y muy seco, el servidor no estaba interesado y casi no pasó la hora del día con nosotros no sonreír o charlar parecía como si no quería estar allí ... absolutamente no conseguir más de mi dinero no volverá

Temperature in the restaurant is a bit too cold

Dunno about the food cause we didn't have any but was nice

Visited this bar today there is no heating, all staff wearing jackets, very uncomfortable environment to dine in but food was great

Very pleasant great bacon roll! Thanks ❤️ Kenneth was the bomb 👍

Waited 30 minutes for my fish and chips and had to ask for a refund instead because I had to catch my flight.

Kenneth was very helpful. Nothing was a problem very approachable and staff happy to help. Food was ok relaxing atmosphere and welcoming ty,

Fast service polite staff and good food

Great friendly service from Michelle , nothing was too much trouble . Was nervy about flight, but staff helped me relax a bit

Staff were very friendly and Michelle was exceptionally helpful. I don't usually write reviews but had to on this occasion. My wife who is disabled with MS spilt her drink, Michelle immediately saw that my wife was in distress and made her feel at ease dealing with the situation. I could see she was very busy and went out of her way to help whilst managing other staff to step up. I replenished the drinks and apologised but Michelle made us feel easy about it. Very professional service frim a very professional person with people skills. Rare in this day and age.

A blonde male was serving he was very polite and professional

Chef on his lunch break at 1.34pm on a Tuesday! No food for an hour

Although drinks were tres expensive, as you expect at airports, Michelle & Tiago were very warm & welcoming and appreciated the banter. Good job guys&gurls!

Michelle and Kenneth were baller!! Absolute legends fed n tret us like kings xD

Michelle was awesome, could not have been more friendly or helpful. Services was very quick

The breakfast was excellent, service was also very quick.

Debido al mal tiempo tuvimos un retraso y recibimos un vale por correo electrónico de Easyjet. Fácil de canjear escaneando nuestra tarjeta de embarque pero no en Bridge & Castle. Necesitaban un comprobante de papel, que por supuesto no teníamos. Así que compramos nuestro café en Pret a Manger, su vecino en el aeropuerto. No hay problema para escanear nuestras tarjetas de embarque. Así que gracias a be & C por el servicio ¥#%&@.

For us it's a fixed "item" on our return trips from Scotland. Here you can relax just before the security check, eat a delicious breakfast or lunch and drink a beer to combat your fear of flying. You can now order and pay using a QR code that can be found on tables and menus, which is super practical because you don't have to leave the table and your luggage. The staff has always been friendly and it never took long for the order to come to the table. We are already looking forward to our airport beer in October!
