It had to be yhe worst place I've been to the place was filthy the staff had not got a clue in how to serve customers if and when you got served. It the best thing that could have happened was not to renew the lease

Absolutely LOVED this place. I went there twice on my recent trip and hung out with the locals and everyone was friendly! The prices were awesome, and I even managed to catch a soccer (sorry, FOOTBALL) match while I was there. Seeing everyone get so into it was amazing. Truly great spot.

Drink prices are the cheapest around but it smells like.bleach covered vomit. It's definitely where the true Scottish drikers go. I'll go again but it's a place you have to over come the smell. Staff was awesome place is. Ig for a large group.

What a dump the assistant manageress heather if that's what you call her would be better off going back to sports direct as she's not got a clue there is a supposedly an age limit but the staff are dven under that age limit so it doesn't make sense mind you the staff are not educated, and for hannah she thinks she owns the place the pub itself is filthy tables are never wiped bar is never wiped bear flies all around it certainly needs new management to improve the standard of the place and staff that no how to operate a bar

The beer was expensive even for the area. The interior is neat, wouldve enjoyed the pool or sports if I had friends. But I must say it was easily one of the most disgusting bathrooms I've seen. The stall doors in one had literally fallen off and was still lying there.

This was the first pub me and the 2 lads visited in Edinburgh and this will be the last we go back to. Outdated pub , toilets down in the dungeons and hinges falling off the doors. Pints taste like corn, man sharted in our face and never said excuse me, acting like nothing happened and looked in the opposite direction. , how disgusting overall a very dodgy pub

I have just had a long weekend in Edinburgh and had heard about shandwicks. I had heard lots of negative things and so went in with low expectations but however by the end I had changed my mind completely. This place has pints for very cheap prices of £1.95 which is rare in any part of the country. My server was Finlay and he came across as a very kind lad and proceeded to ask about my day and what not while also giving me a very good pint even though it was in a plastic cup. Furthermore the atmosphere in the pub throughout the night was very good and not what people make it out to be. Give this place a try guys! Don’t listen to the people who give this place a so called bad reputation as it isn’t true!

Enjoy going into Shandwicks for a cheap drink and atmosphere, only issue I have is the amount of seats at the bar obviously regulars which is fair enough but doesn't leave a lot of space for ordering, having to shout over someone's head then struggling to get drinks away from bar. Perhaps have a non seating area at the bar for ordering?

I love going to Shandwick's, and the staff are always attentive and helpful. I was in this past Saturday, and had Emma serve me. She poured immaculate pints, and made sure that my mixed drinks were perfect. We later ordered a pitcher from her, and it was the best Venom I've had in Edinburgh.

We booked this afternoon tea as a treat whilst away for a few days in Edinburgh but can honestly say it is the worst customer service we have received anywhere. To start, we were kept waiting for 20 minutes, after being seated, before anyone came to speak to us and the room was freezing cold. Food was reasonably nice but when asking for another pot of tea, which we had been advised was included in the extortionate price of the afternoon tea, they simply topped up the existing tea bag with hot water. When we asked for a new tea bag you would have thought we had asked for the world! Everything seemed to be too much trouble and made us feel as though we were making a fuss. There was a teaspoon of jam provided to accompany two scones and when we politely requested more jam we were told this was not possible as it had all been measured out according to the bookings for the day....unbelievable! A little more thought and consideration about the customer experience would have made all the difference but sadly we would not recommend this afternoon tea at all, you would do better in the regular cafe with a sandwich, piece of cake and cup of tea.

I almost never leave reviews, but I felt I had to because I felt so ripped off here. I'm a local and had time to kill before work so I popped in for lunch. The staff were friendly and the service was quick, but I got the smallest piece of avocado toast I've ever seen for a tenner. I'm still hungry. I sort of knew it would be a mistake to go somewhere touristy but now I know I definitely won't be back. There are nicer places on Cockburn Street, never mind the rest of the Old Town.
