Earl of Marchmont in Edinburgh, City of

A gem of Marchmont! We have always enjoyed our visits and it's in my list of pubs to recommend. Drinks are great and there's also live music on select days!

Great wee pub and dog friendly. Cheery staff.

Wonderful place with a great atmosphere and excellent service! I was out for a baby shower with my girlfriends and we had a brilliant time, thank you 🎈💕

Nice local pub with a good choice of drinks,friendly staff and nice locals make for a good chat. Sit outside when it’s nice ☀️ 👍 a few changes over the last few years 2021 onwards. Prices go up with a change of owner it seems ? No food but a nice arrangement with a local takeaway which looks like it works ok,dogs allowed but I’d be happier if the staff or owners Would keep them off the seats ! Not nice when your sitting next to one and it decides to shake Hair all over you and your beer 🤮 they also smell a bit so keep them on the floor.staff could also be a bit more vigilant about customers smoking vapes in the bar ! 🚭 but enough negative stuff they also have live music on Sundays which is very good 👍 🎶 🎺 🎸

Lauren and the staff are first class, always happy to help, the food is good, the drinks are great and the service is superb. Prices are spot on for the area,👍 The Earl has come to the next level. Very popular with students who fit in very well with the locals. Caters for all ages. Check it out,you will not be disappointed 😉

I'm a little fed up with being asked by Google to review this place as I've never been in it. I suspect the reason why I'm being asked to review it, is because I happened to be stopped at a red traffic light just outside it whilst on my way back to the office, after purchasing four cod loin fillets from Eddie's the fishmongers. However, in the spirit of good will, I've decided to highly recommend this establishment to anyone who happens to be in the vicinity, in the sincere hope that it is found to be highly satisfactory in fulfilling your food and drink refreshment needs.

Great little boozer with very friendly staff.

Great wee spot for a pint. Really friendly atmosphere and a good mix of clientele. my new local.

Great service, lovely little place

Popped in for a pint to watch some of the 6 nations. The new owners have done a fabulous job with the decor and the drinks on offer. The staff were all very kind and made both myself and my daughter feel very welcome! Food is able to order from a local take away which was a fab idea and lovely as well! A great wee spot!!

Under new ownership and already feels like a totally new bar. Great spot, lovely staff, good screens for sporting events and you can ever order in some cracking food from the local chippy, what’s not to love! Will definitely be back.

Very decent bar, solid cocktails, nice vibe and was really busy for midweek.

Excellent local bar. Great beer on draft and fantastic service. Will be there again!

Great place to have drinks, have fun and experience culture! Great service great atmosphere

Great time here as I had my first pint with my youngest son. Love that they always have Guinness!

Great pub. Like a pub should be. Warm friendly. Music not too loud to talk

What a lovely place. Amazing welcome to a new town. Obviously local but made to feel at home. And great drinks too

Nice cozy atmosphere, well priced beer and good selection. Has become our local watering hole.

Re opened under new management after covid closure, same great cosy wee pub. Great range of single malts

A extremely noisy group made it almost impossible to ralk

Brilliant wee bar with a fantastic range of Whisky, I thought there was a good selection and then the barman flipped the menu round and I realised there was even more, they also keep a nice couple of Casks on, definitely good for a post work dram

Great vibes!!!! Two dogs came in and they were soooo cute!

Nice bar to have a glass of wine before home

Friendly but a bit run down. No food

An easy place to be for a quiet Sunday evening pint and a chat with friends

Great little pub that is ran by a friendly bunch of staff. They usually have a decent selection of real ales in, and they have a nice wine menu. It's got a very nice interior as well - classy but not overstating it.

Felt a lot more studenty since I was last in with a very generic selection of beers on tap. Not for me I guess.

One of my old haunts from decades ago. Only gets better with age. Friendly atmosphere and pleasant surroundings

Quaint pub at the corner of Marchmont. Nice selection of wines, gin and draughts. Not too loud so perfect for catching up with friends.

Polite, happy, helpful staff and atmosphere x

Cosy wee pub. Bit pricey but it's on the meadows so to be expected. Few tables outside. Board games available. Nice decor. Good music. Lots of drinks to choose from. Friendly bar staff and one of the closest toilets to the meadow's.

Sympatycznie, przytulnie i miła obsługa 😁

Lovely wee pub, nice quiet local.

So friendly. Staff are brilliant. Shame about the Fosters. Haha

Used to be a great local pub now gone downhill and become very pedestrian. Plenty of other bars do it better.

Lovely wee place with great staff.

Great pub. Music on Friday eveving sometimes!

After a busy day in Edinburgh we arrived at our Airbnb late and understandably there weren't any places nearby for a sit-in meal on a Thursday night. The girl serving in Earl of Marchmont was more than happy for us to bring in food from one of the local takeaways as long as it wasn't chips due to the smell of fried foods. She said we could bring in food from the neighbouring pizza place, Chinese or the Thai restaurant which she recommended. We sat happily catching up with a friend and ate our food while enjoying their ale of the month and an espresso martini. Lovely.

Great wee Pub and Chilled Staff,Good for Dog lovers,Great when the Sun visits,Recomend the Nachos.

This little pub is very nice, they have a good range of beers and whiskeys, staff is nice and the place is dog friendly! The atmosphere is quite relaxing specially during weekdays, although sometimes they can be quite busy as they have few tables. Food is not the best but for pub grabs is alright! I’d say Marchmont gets some of its character thanks to this wee pub!

Nice little pub with well kept beer

Lovely wee local. espresso martinis are highly recommended! Great selection and fantastic atmosphere

Nice atmosphere and super friendly staff

This is a lovely marchmot pub with friendly staff and great music

We stopped off for a cocktail here and were impressed. It is a lively pub. The espresso martini and bramble cocktails were very good.

All was going well with our overall experience of this Marchmont watering hole until one of the patrons had the sheer audacity to whap out a Tupperware lunchbox and chomp into what appeared to be a ham and cheese square sliced sandwich. We're talking mighty white slices here not even farmhouse and I could be wrong but the ham may have had bear faces on them, the cheese was definitely of the Kraft variety. Had it not been for his wonderfully delightful company this would have been a mere 2 star rating.

A nice place in a nice area. Could be a local, or could be a meeting point, your choice!

Nice pints but no food for now, I'll try next time for sure.

It's a nice pub. Staff welcoming

A great little local pub with a nice atmosphere

Very friendly staff. Dog friendly and conveniently located

Said it does food but everything is microwaved disgusting

They had a decent range of beers and it was a decent atmosphere.

Este solía ser un pequeño pub, local y amable, por desgracia su ha perdido su encanto. El personal es amable, la gente es en el pub, pero se ha reducido a cero el ambiente. Solía ser cálido y acogedor, su parece haber ido. Mirando las fotos en la pared lo dice todo, impresos en 4 de lo que parece un ordenador, lo dice todo.Por desgracia no volveremos.

Excellent battle cruiser. Such a classy classy establishment with competitive prices, friendly locals and atmospheric live music. The array of drinks is simply astounding and I can’t reinforce enough how classy the establishment is. Staff are VERY funny and surprisingly down to Earth. As a local myself it is with great pleasure I am able to award this classy establishment a 5 star rating. Without a doubt the best pub in marchmont.

Very obliging staff, friendly locals, visited a few times, sit on the pavement & watch the world go by

Recién llegado a Eburgh desde EE. UU. 90 minutos antes de decidirse por este pequeño lugar para comer algo. De acuerdo, habíamos estado despiertos toda la noche en el avión y estábamos cansados ​​y hambrientos, ¡pero seguro que todo nos pareció excelente! Después de seleccionar nuestras pintas (una amarga y una lager), pedimos un risotto de verduras y un plato de queso y oliva. ¿Risotto de verduras? Lo sé. No esperaba mucho, ¡pero HEY! ¡Fue realmente delicioso! Y el plato de oliva era maravilloso: quesos y aceitunas, por supuesto, más dos tipos de salami y jamón, además de buen pan y mantequilla, además de un molde de cebolla en escabeche, acompañado de un poco de cohete con vinagreta. Era exactamente lo que necesitábamos, y una feliz bienvenida a Escocia. Una comida memorable, 5 estrellas!

Nice chilled out pub with friendly staff.

Lovely people....exceptional service..Excellent food!

Qué pena. Nos encanta el acostumbrado a Earl por una pinta y un bocado wee para comer. Por desgracia, ahora decidir cuando están haciendo la comida o no, lo que hay en la mayoría de las ocasiones. Yo vivo cerca y unas semanas atrás intentó teléfono del pub, pero el teléfono estaba ocupado por 3 horas. Incapaz de saber si había comida servidos, nos aventuramos a las 7pm y nos dijeron que no por la camarera. En otra ocasión, cuando intentamos llamar, el teléfono sonó y sonó y no fue respondida, nuevamente nos aventuramos al pub y por curiosidad para asegurarse de que teníamos el número correcto, llamamos al número desde dentro del pub en nuestro móvil y este sonó incesantemente, claramente ignorado por el personal. Yo sería si me estaba echando humo, propiedad este pub son perder clientes, especialmente el que los normales!

Estado viniendo aquí durante unos cuantos años y yo siempre supimos que era un poco caro, pero se tendía a conseguir una buena relación calidad-precio, con buena comida y servicio en una zona agradable. Llegó recientemente a pagar £9 por una hamburguesa fría que cayó aparte sin patatas fritas! Amigo tenía lo que parecía ser ponerla en la sopa. No me importa pagar precios más elevados, pero debe ser un poco vale la pena! Una pena, porque el personal es muy amable y me encanta las vibraciones en el bar.

Nice wee relaxing place for a good range of quality beers & wines and to have a catch up with good friends

Nice local pub. Good selection of beers and spirits. Friendly staff.

Warm and helpful staff. Very welcoming. The food is fun and plenty.

Nice pub with a reasonable selection of beers

Like the bar unfortunately the drinks are becomming expensive. 2 ales on tap could do with more choice.

Went in tonight between 8-9pm Friday 26th of January 2018 . Barmaid spilled beer all over the place which got on my jacket however she only bothered apologizing to the affluent looking couple seated in the bar not to me the customer who had to pay for the eventual pint and I don't have the money to get it dry cleaned or buy another one on a fancy. She also mucked up a second pint but no grace or apology to the actual mug who was paying for it. The bar supervisor looked like a real space cadet. Dressed like he was auditioning for a revival of Waynes World or something like that. Certainly not the kind of attire you would expect in a bar that try's come across as being a posh local boozer. No ownership of the situation. A typical modern boozer in Merchmont which summs up the devoid psyche of modern Edinburgh in a nutshell. I agree with other reviewers the service varies in a snobbish way. I wouldn't be surprised if it was English owned.

Nice pub, good atmosphere and great music.

Chilled drinking establishment. Great mix of clientel from students to seniors. Really good location for a convenience drink. Stylish but not too ott on the interior design front. A local worth travelling to.

Very nice local pub. They also do food although did not try it

Estábamos buscando un lugar para comer con aparcamiento en la calle y encontramos el Earl de Marchmont. El menú antes de 3. 00 estaba un poco restringido, quizás porque el festival había terminado y los estudiantes aún no eran de vuelta, pero el personal era muy servicial y se ofreció a cocinar un par de cosas que no estaban en el menú hasta más tarde. Esta fue una proeza en sí misma dado el tamaño de la cocina, que es muy pequeña. Decoración peculiar y muy buena música de fondo, no entrometido pero relajante. Tartines eran un poco bready, pero coberturas eran deliciosos y generosos. Niños disfrutaron de hamburguesas y patatas fritas. Claramente un lugar popular entre los lugareños y una clientela muy variadas, lo cual es bueno.

Great food from the smallest kitchen.

Great wee pub serving nice food and a good selection of drinks. Try the nachos!

Ambiente que tem a característica de um verdadeiro pub. Boa comida, localização em local tranquilo.

Very friendly, dogs welcome, nice space, good selection of beer. What more coukd a body ask for? 😎

Good dog friendly pub with nice staff.

It's a nice pub with a community feel. I would definitely come again. The staff are very nice and the bathrooms are clean. I would dedinitely recommend.

I have lived in the area for years, enjoying a pint here and there. Hoping for a wee last orders but refused for no reason. These people seem to allow people to have a beer depending on their face. Will I drink there again? No I will not. I will take my custom else where

Lovely pub, nice relaxed atmosphere, nice food, good selection of drinks and they are dog friendly.

Dog-friendly pub. Little gem of a place in Marchmont. Well worth the travel time to get there. Live music too!

Great little local boozer with good beer, outside tables, and good served until the mid-evening.

Nice little pub, with some outdoor seating for when the sun is out!

Unwelcoming - nice enough looking place, but the service? Perfunctory at best - barmaid gave a clear impression of being utterly disinterested in serving people (or maybe just me). I'm pretty sure I didn't look or smell dirty, I'm a respectable-looking person, first time in the place, did nothing to annoy her, but got barely a look and certainly no smile. Unpleasant experience - so didn't stay for any more drinks there.

Fab pub proper local boozer. Live music today was gr8

Nice friendly pub where the landlord is trying to offer a few different lines

Popped in for lunch a couple of times as it's close to the RHSC. Friendly staff and good food, even if it is just microwaved.

This is a really nice place to spend an afternoon. It's a great location, with windows and outside tables, so you can watch the world go by with a pint or cocktail. Prices are okay, and there are a few rotating beer taps. Not the best in Edinburgh, but the best in this location.

It's my favourite local. Prices are a little high, but it has a good atmosphere. The Argyll is good too, but I prefer the Earl as it's brighter.

I love this pub. I find the atmosphere very friendly and welcoming. Good choice of drinks and nice toilets. It's got good outdoor seating and at Christmas time sometimes serve mulled wine outside which is magical.

The Earl of Marchmont is one of the fine establishments in my local area, it is the kind of place where you can go to have a quiet nights drink, catch-up with girlfriends or to start a big night off at. My favourite thing about the pub, is the cocktails, as mostly all of them are on their cocktail menu are five pounds. And the one's I've had in the past have been most delicious, tangy and the alcohol subtle enough to not make you swoon, but strong enough tasting so you know that you do have an adults drink in your hand. I've never tried the food, but all the pub faves are their.

This is a lovely little Marchmont bar, you can sit outside if your lucky enough to come on a sunny day. Dogs are welcome. They have midweek student deals and often show sports.

Perfectly nice, bright airy pub. It's always busy when I walk past on my way to the Argyle which has a much wider beer selection. I've popped in here a number of times and it's a lovely comfortable bar with a friendly atmosphere and friendly staff. It usually has two guest ales - often Hobgoblin, Duechars, Bitter and Twisted etc, along with the standard lagers. They have an espresso machine and do nice coffee. All in all it's a lovely space but just unfortunate that it's across the road from the Argyle!

Nice pub, 3 taps plus the usual lagers, good friendly staff...

Been going to the earl for a while now though recently got chucked out for not looking 21 in a most unfriendly manor. Was not happy and will not be going back.
