Firstly I absolutely have to acknowledge all the strong 5 star reviews and point out the fact that it was terrible weather in the middle of dry Jan. 3 stars for me on this visit said with huge love and respect. I really do get the local vibe and this is fabulous. As for 'inclusive' ...shame on any bar that isn't. I wish this was more of a given. For me, this is a classic case of needing to know when less is more. 25+ beers for a pub this size...in January? 95% 4-6% pale ale with slight American hops? Cask was struggling through lack of throughput and it all tasted too similar. The local beer wasn't great....this time. For me, the bar overall just felt tired and physically rather cold and damp. I genuinely do wish you all the success in the world and thank you for having me!

Hi Have been to Dreadnought many times always good but on 26th of October my four of my family went in for a drink and were meeting six others later but the bartender owner’s wife accused us on not saying thank you for our drinks very rude if she had taken off her woolly hat so she could hear properly we did say thanks ,we cancelled meeting our friends and went to another pub , her abrupt attitude cost her approx £500 spend won’t be back shame regards Alfie

We happened upon this lovely pub while exploring Leith and had a few pints of draught lagers and ales which we drank outside on these unique tables, since it was a sunny afternoon. They made it clear with signage that all orientations are welcome. The bathroom was especially clean, as well. If we were locals, this would be our spot.

Have never loved a pub like I love the Dreadnought. It's beautiful both inside and out, with big windows so you can watch the sun set behind Chancelot Mill. The gantry (allegedly salvaged from a church) is a thing of beauty, like the stern of an old ship. There's great artwork on the walls (including those in the toilets). There's a beer garden on the bridge outside. The beer selection is almost certainly the best in Edinburgh, with a range of styles, a great choice of cans and plenty of low/no alcohol options. They have close ties with the Brass Castle brewery in Malton but also stock beers from all over the UK and beyond. Also great: the staff, the music, the folk that drink there, the frequent charity initiatives. They don't do food but you're welcome to get a takeaway and eat it at your table. They'll even order it for you. Would have given it six stars if I could!

A vibrant and welcoming pub with a huge selection of beers and ales stocked from local and small independent breweries. I wasn’t quite sure what to go for on my first visit as I’m generally pretty set in my ways with pints, but was guided to try something new that after listening to what I’d normally drink, the staff thought I would enjoy and they weren’t wrong. Very knowledgable about their craft and such a chilled vibe. There’s usually a mix of regulars, locals and folk popping in for the first (but definitely not the last) time and all are made to feel at home. Great artwork on the walls, plenty to read on the back of the toilet doors, hugely inclusive, dog friendly and some great quiz nights. The beer garden on the Pride Bridge outside in summer is fantastic, spacious and still keeps the welcoming feel of the bar indoors Well worth a visit.

The Dreadnought is a great pub. I like the style of the place, has a nice old school vibe. The owner and the staff are all nice, they have a good sense of humour and serve with a smile. The locals are a welcoming bunch too. This is very much a craft beer pub, so plenty of options in that regard, and very reasonably priced. Overall its a cracking wee pub that I would love to visit more. I live on Easter Rd so it's a little bit of a trek for me, I will aim to get down there more.

The Dreadnought is a lovely pub, and the staff is friendly, inclusive, and knowledable. Their beer selection changes frequently and is reliably good. Plenty of options for people who don't like beer, or want something more specific. Edinburgh isn't exactly short of bars, but the Dreadnought is my favorite one. Being vegan, it can be difficult to figure out what drinks are vegan-friendly, and bar staff is not always aware of which beers are vegan. I've had plenty of times where I had to google beers myself to make sure. This is not the case in the Dreadnought. There are plenty of vegan options and they are clearly marked. Beyond that, I often ask for recommendations and it's always met with enthusiasm. I've had some really great beers based on their suggestions, some that I likely wouldn't have found or tried otherwise. The Dreadnought is an award-winning gem of a pub, with lovely staff. If you haven't been yet, it's worth a visit.

Great selection of beers and the fella running the bar was hapy to engage with us. We had a pleasant time that was only slightly marred by the staff member who thundered about and had some underlying issue with our group. A someone who has worked in hospitality their whole life I found this somewhat repellent, we weren't asking for smiles, but we got the hipster shrug off/eye rolls every time we tried to communicate with her. It takes so mch more energy to be surly, why bother? For a place that has such a great selection of beers this is a great shout. They have a decent space outside and are dog friendly. Just cant be arsed with the attitude. Toilets were in good condition and they're on top of social distancing and keeping everyone safe. As my first expereince of this pub I'm not sure I'd come back.

Our visit was the 4th ever service for this college cohort, so taking that into account, the meal was very good. We have to report that the flavour was super, with every course. Which, is the whole point, to taste great flavours. The students rotate the chef role / service role. Their inexperience was a bit more apparent here, but nothing major. Just small attention to details, like different size wine glasses, an extra fork on my seat(?), food arriving before the drinks. The food needed a couple of tweaks too, temperatures were a bit hit and miss, tasty and hot are generally the two core requirements that should be met when dining. Overall they are a talented bunch and would recommend anyone to go and sample their food. I have two more reservations already, next time for the third year student fine dining experience. So I would be hoping that temperatures and consistency issues to be ironed out.
