Harbour Inn in Edinburgh, City of

Nice traditional Pub with a good pint.

Warm welcome. Lovely little old fashioned pub.Good Duke box.Friendly staff.

Great pint of Guiness! Played their slot machine and won 100£! Alex the bar keep was awesome. Highly recommend! Will stop in again the next time I'm in town!

Cracking pub. A warm welcome from locals and great service. Highly recommend

Lovely understated local bar with a nautical theme. Very relaxed feeling. Seems to be frequented mainly by locals. Not going to find anything fancy here, just good people having a good time. Shame that it smelled a little like backed up sewage in one room. But that's life near the sea, I guess.

Nice wee pub frequented by locals and tourists of the cruise ships. Friendly staff and chatty locals good atmosphere.

Very nice pub with friendly staff and locals. Highly recommend.

Beautiful Edinburgh pub! Really nice atmosphere, great prices and lovely people. Highly recommended

Great local pub. Very friendly.

Great local pub. Great selection of alcohol. Friendly staff and locals. Highly recommended 5☆☆☆☆☆

Lovely wee local pub,great friendly service,even took my pal to a shop for cigarettes.. Good prices too 👍👍😃😃

Great local. Well kept ale. Good service. Occasional live music. Friendly locals.

Great little local pub. Reminded us of our own local. Friendly staff (and customers 😊) and a nice pint of Guinness 👍🏻

A small fisherman's pub thst is filled with their regulars. It's quite basic, no airs or graces. Perfect if you're after a quick pint and a bag of crisps.

A pub which still hosts good live music is to be treasured. And good beer and atmosphere.

Great wee pub . So friendly and full of local craic !

Despite previous reviews I decided to go and visit. I was not disappointed. Friendly locals. Even though the language was difficult to understand. However a plentiful supply of Merlot was enough to break down barriers. Slightly disappointed in that the supposed grumpy Person was conspicuous by his absence. Over all a great place to pass an hour or three

It's the local "old men's" pub. Friendly staff. Never tried food but they do offer toasties. Wouldn't go here for food 🤠

Lovely find on a short break in Edinburgh: a proper local pub with a friendly crowd (and staff) and great (live) music. Will certainly be back if in the area!

Very nice local pub.We stayed in the nearby Premier Inn.It was a convenient for a pint with a couple of real ales and a good selection of drinks.There were sports on the Television and Music on the Friday night.

Super Kneipe, Livemusik, was will man mehr. Super Atmosphäre und Ambiente.

Good little place in the harbour..atmosphere is more like a hall in the upstairs room than a pub but friendly folks..

I do like it here. Not in as often as I should be.

Cool live music, friendly bartender who recommended a good Scottish beer

The very best Toasties only 3.00 with a nice view

Quaint wee pub. Service great. Good bunch of locals.

Een geweldige pub aan de jachthaven van Edinburgh met een geweldige bediening.

Traditional harbour pub with great tradition

I enjoyed the wonderful sea view and pleasant atmosphere at the bar. However, I was disappointed by the rude behavior of the waitress, which included unwelcome racism. Additionally, there was no clear indication about not being able to bring outside drinks, even though we had ordered drinks from within the bar. It would have been appreciated if the staff had kindly informed us about the policy rather than abruptly asking us to leave and accusing us of being fraudulent customers.

Smelly pub with the most unfriendly regulars and staff you'll find. Decent beers though but on a highway to nowhere

Never felt less welcome in a pub. Full of locals who clearly didn’t want us to be there. Attempted to take a seat and was told by a regular we couldn’t sit there as it was his seat. Decent selection of drinks and great music, but couldn’t enjoy it with the unfriendly atmosphere and also terrible smell. Won’t be returning.

Visited at the weekend, both nights. Sunday was alot more fun, had a good laugh with some of the locals, and the barman Alex made us very welcome, and overall a very nice guy. All the best from the Corby folk, hopefully we'll visit again sometime soon

Absolutely awful place and very ignorant bar man! Ordered Cointreau which should go cloudy when you add lemonade this was just lemonade, he's serving cheap drinks in branded bottles Trading Standards need to get here Asap.when asked to change to something else he said that it would cost him money - seriously! Do not go here you have been warned!!

Great people and a banging toastie! Love it! I have to write 100 characters to submit this but have a terrible hangover so hey! Is this 100 yet?

Nice old pub with good beer and friendly atmosphere! Barman very busy but kept on top of it all . Bit of live music always good

Great pub. Very friendly an good prices.

Para tomar unas cañas no esta mal, no esperes mucho mas, se nota q es un lugar señalado por la gente local donde te miran raro al entrar, el típico pub escoces de un barrio trabajador

Great wee boozer, lots of character and charm, great for a quiet drink.

Great locals pub in historic Newhaven.

Fabulous pub. Beer, staff, regulars - everything just as it should be. Cheers

One of the last proper traditionally warm feeling pubs in Edinburgh, great service, Guinness 💯

Very friendly local pub, staff very attentive,

Fine old fashioned pub good atmosphere and beers.

Lovely wee cozy pub full of friendly clientele and staff.

Fantastic pub! Great staff, great selection of beers and spirits. Pub is in a beautiful area in Newhaven with fantastic sea views! Highly recommend this place!

Very welcome pub and lovely folks. Gary and John and co are brilliant and keep everyone happy and safe. Oh and ace beer ;)

Not too bad a selection of ales in a tiny bar. Through the back up some stairs is a lounge area. The place smells a bit of damp

Lovely friendly atmosphere, cosy small pub 😀

Quaint little pub that is regularly visited by regulars or staff from nearby restaurants.

Excellent service, nautical marine maps on the ceiling, and masses of photographs makes it an interesting place to visit for a drink/snack, highly recommended!

Very cozy and right by the harbour. Excellent place to sit in and have a pint or two. Has a charm that's not easily found elsewhere. I personally find late afternoons are the best time here. There's a lot of old maps on the walls plastered all over, they are pretty interesting too.

Nice friendly pub mixture of visitors and locals friendly staff and landlord Traditional drinkers pub Our usual haunt before rishis indian

A friendly welcoming pub with lovely locals.

Excellent beer, staff very friendly.

Great little local pub with a couple of real es on rotation, great staff and a super atmosphere. Also a great place to disconnect. It's a lovely old building with thick walls and terrible mobile reception. A real plus these days😁

Nice old pub in beautiful Newhaven on the Firth of Forth

Great live music events decent lager

Great welcoming Sunday session outside.

Choice of beers okay. Wine options are very poor

Very friendly staff and regulars,made to feel welcome as soon as we entered the pub.

Great met long time buddy .good to know he is still out in the big world

Friendly local down to earth pub

Wonderful, the staff are absolutely amazing, , cant wait to go.back, so friendly and made very welcome

The pub is good if you like sports.

Always good, well looked after cask ale on the pumps.(Not rocket science but many places fail to do so) All covid requirements in place and quite rightly enforced.

Great place, felt 💯 Covid safe, great prices and really friendly staff!

Nice wee traditional pub with good selection. Staff always very helpful and pub is welcoming to all. Perfect for a after work pint or for tourist visiting the unique Newhaven area.

I felt the need to respond to the untrue and unfair comments about the harbour bar , I have been unable to attend in the last year but I could guarantee the owner John , staff Terry and Gary would give me or anyone a welcoming smile and more than likely remember what you had to drink on your last visit , in these tough times for everyone especially the hospitality industry an unjust criticism is below the belt , keep up the good work John and I hope to see you soon for a juice unfortunately

Great wee pub, very friendly staff and locals.

Im refering to the shocking review this bar got lately. I have stayed in Newhaven for near on 24 years, i have used this local bar for the last 10 years. I can honestly can say John (owner) and his staff go the extra mile to make you feel welcome, The Beers, Lagers, Ales, Guiness are all kept in perfect condition. The pub host live music events, Golf Outings, Trips to Horse Racing. With an array of great banter with everyone. This bar is so friendly, visitors come from afar. During all the Lockdowns we even managed to have Race Nights, Bingo all online to keep spirits up. BEST BAR IS A MUST VISIT.

Harbour Inn is always a stop in for us on a Friday - staff are friendly, it's at the heart of community in Newhaven and everyone is so lovely. Great local pub right on our doorstep!

What a place! Great staff and friendly locals. Guinness and Deuchars IPA to die for. A pub at the heart of its community and one which looks out for the locals and visitors a like in these tough times. Busy every day since reopening with...

One of the best places in New Haven! Make sure you don't miss it if you around!

I read the review by flyingshcotsman below which went against everything I had ever heard about the Harbour Inn from my friends who go regularly. So I decided to go and see for myself. The service was immaculate, n the toasties fab and the interior and loos spotless. I will definitely go again and take my friends. flyingshcotsman clearly you have issues, presumably one of the members asked you to adhere to a safety rule you took exception to? It will take more than a nasty review from you to take this pub down, its far too good! Presumably you are not planning on returning, good riddance...

Great pub. Everytime we come to edinburgh we always visit and are made to feel welcome. Pub is clean, friendly with a good range

I've been a few times in last 3 months, a pleasant bar, not fussy or pretentious thank goodness. Historic building in unspoiled traditional style, across the road from picturesque Newhaven Harbour. Thank goodness for bars like this.

been several times when through the east side and this place is perfect for friendliness , food, cleanliness perfect 100%

So glad to see the harbour inn back open after Lockdown. Great wee pub, very friendly staff. A group of friends have had a tradition of visiting the pub for years now on a certain date and having popped in to see how it's doing...

The Harbour Inn is the best bar in Newhaven. Friendly staff couldn't do enough for you. Great atmosphere and the toasties are to die for. Everytime I visit Edinburgh, I always have to visit the Harbour Inn. I am from Belfast

This is genuinely the worst bar in the Newhaven area, the staff are sullen and rude, extremely unhelpful. It's an embaressment to the area especially as it's in such a lovely spot. Tourists should avoid at all costs and if your local to the area...

Luvly atmosphere and brilliant staff

Nice wee local bar , good service ,good beers ,good local banter,

Had a coffee here last weekend outside with John the manager. What a hilarious guy and my husband and I really enjoyed chatting to him. The coffee was lovely and was great sitting in the sunshine. I will be going back to have a few...

I am just glad you are open. Good use of the outside area which is a residential square but everyone respectfull. Belhaven best at 3.2% is not for me, but the Harviestoun Bitter and Twisted @4.2 was very good. This pub avoids the queues and waiting of the waterside pubs just up the road. Fully recommend.

Very old and traditional local Friendly atmosphere

Good draught beer, pleasant barman. Well organised ad regards virus risk.

Nice little boozer, shame about the virus sh#t.

Rude barman and over the top with covid screens

Lovely choice of ales. Proper pub

An absolute gem of a real pub, not many like this are still around. Great people, great pub.

Very friendly and well run. AND they have a choice of real ales! A proper unpretentious local.

Lovely local and all over the world people in. Adorable welcoming and great hospitality!

Looks a bit scruffy from the outside and inside wasn't much better but to be honest the bar man was friendly and there was a decent real ale on tap.

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. Great drinks, customers, location and staff 👍

I was staying the one night in Edinburgh and found this place very chilled with great staff !

Loved the place and the people.

A traditional Scottish pub. My wife and I visited after a meal for a few drinks on a Saturday night. The locals were very friendly (yes they may stand around the bar but that’s normal in any pub) I got served very quickly and we...

Very different restaurant than I'd frequent. I will definitely be back. Food was just beautiful. Bonus that we got to try a fresh oyster 🤭Just not for my taste buds. Portion sizes are excellent, the starter was just a wee bit too much to be able to comfortably enjoy our main. But I managed ❤ Bonus 25% of with our receipt if used in the next 4 weeks. Back this Saturday!!

Staying in the Premier Inn across the road. Popped in for a drink, lovely little bar, wish we had went in earlier, very friendly staff, traditional Scottish Bar, loved it.
