St. Vincent Bar in Edinburgh, City of

I was hoping to pay by bitcoin as advertised, been told by staff their terminal is not updated and i can not pay by BTC lightning.... disappointed, giving 1 hour journey to find out

Fabulous bar which is in an excellent location and perfectly cosy inside. The staff are always helpful and very efficient , particularly the manager who is absolutely lovely and a joy to chat to. Always my first choice bar.

A really great, rustic pub where dogs and their owners are very welcome. Great team 👍 Fast and friendly service

It's a very nice, little authentic pub and we really enjoyed our drinks. But to be honest we didn't feel very welcome as foreigners in there. So probably wouldn't go again. The bartender thought we hadn't paid and yelled after us, but actually we paid at her colleague just a couple of seconds before.

Fancy cocktail options, dogs all over me, and the staff were so kind and helpful with my questions. Absolutely recommended to anyone and everyone. Also a free library station on the patio!

Amazing beer and wine selection - amazing dog selection..!!

Friendly, atmospheric local spot, and dog friendly is a bonus!

Amazing cocktails & great vibes. Highly recommended!

Really very atypical bar with the merit that we stop to have a beer or a delicious fruit cider. The decoration is warm. If you love animals, you won't be disappointed!

Staff are exceptional and so is there service and attention to detail. An absolute gem of a team. The best atmosphere and everyone is always welcoming. Great if you have or love dogs too!

Absolutely love this bar, it's full of character with a real local feel! It has a great range of drinks, but no food (at least on the night we went). It's a dog-friendly pub with usually lots of free-roaming dogs around, which I personally love but isn't everyone's cup of tea. I was a little confused as to whether it was table service or if I should go to the bar, either way the bar staff were lovely and would highly recommend it for a drink!

I've always loved this bar, not been for a while but been gong since the 80s! It's a wonderfully kept old bar, that you can sit outside in the small but perfectly comfy little area, that even has little cushions up the steps to sit on and a serving hatch, so you don't even have to go in the bar, if you don't want to! While away the hours and watch the busy town slope by. 😉

rmains the same as it has been for many years, a snug little bar with a good variety of beer, cider and spirits. Friendly staff. Always busy, always a relaxing place for a pint.

Nice enough looking place. Looked online, on the Facebook page on their own website nothing about no under 18s onsite after 5pm. No problem with the policy not that mine are older teenagers but advertising is everything. Shame.

I had this idealic image of a Scottish pub in my head and I found it here at St. Vincent. Great staff, cask beer, and calm atmosphere.

Cosy little pub. I love the concept of taking away drinks, nothings beats a little stroll with a G&T in your hand, ya get me? Worth the visit! 🍺

Cozy little Pub just around the corner from our Airbnb.

Love “Vinny’s” and so does my Dutch Shepherd. Delish Old Fashions!

Such a lil gem of a pub with a lovely warm inviting atmosphere. Definitely go for a pint.

Great friendly place with lovely staff

Lovely pub. Lot of dogs pictures everywhere. Good beer and the terrace is great at the end of circus lane

Outside hatch is great and beers are always well looked after

Beer is great as well as the Berries & Cheries cider!

On a hot summer days they serve beer from a window, which is charming. Apart from that, a casual EDI pub.

A great 5 star rating for a great bar! Thank you for your kindness, your kindness and thank you for letting our dog friends accompany us. Thank you also for keeping our things even though we had forgotten them. Come and take a look, you have to have a drink at St Vincent.

Very nice traditional pub, they have a very large selection of gin and beer. The pub is very busy and very dog ​​friendly. We were visited by a dog at our table every evening we were there. The prices are good and so is the atmosphere in the pub. I recommend taking a deck of cards or something similar with you.

Lively bar in Edinburgh! I’ve spent a weekend in Edinburgh and ended up there every evening - the staff is really friendly, drinks are great and the location is great! Nice to know, they don’t do food, just some crisps and nuts :)

An unexpectedly awesome experience. As the sun was setting and my phone was dying, I turned the corner at the church and saw the lovely flowers and lights out front of this unassuming basement bar on the corner. Ventured in and it opened up into a vibrant, energetic pub with friendly folk and great vibes. A younger crowd but I struck up a nice conversation with an older local who recently moved back to town. Bartenders know their stuff and make some great-looking cocktails but I settled for a pint of cask ale. Great interior with some cool memorabilia. Would return without hesitation.

Comfortable atmosphere nice Cocktails!

Great for a pint, the beer garden is lovely

My partner and I went after a rainy day in Edinburgh walking, and the truth is that we succeeded in having some cocktails, the waiters were very friendly and super professional, very friendly, I really liked the concept and the idea of ​​the bar since they have decoration and Photographs of dogs throughout the bar, any customer can have a drink with their pet, and they are also welcomed very well. This is not usually seen in Spain, where we are from, and I loved being able to see it here.

Lovely little bar and very dog friendly

Great pub with a lovely atmosphere.

Great atmospheric place! Solid selection of beers. Very friendly and helpful staff. Adorable dogs to pet. What more can one ask for when going for a pint?

Location is brilliant and the pub itself has loads of character, one of my go to places When I visit Edinburgh. Cocktails are great and they pride themselves on being a dog friendly pub with pictures of people's pups displayed on the ceiling. Staff are really welcoming and friendly

Always a great beer selection. Atmosphere is fantastic and there's always a warm welcome

Great meeting place for Stockbridge and Canonmills

Was there and drank a beer, the atmosphere was good, nice environment and many nice dogs!

The St Vincent is a great place to have a drink, meet friends, meet new people and have a laugh. The staff are second to none and the drinks are top quality. They are a dog friendly pub as well which is great for me and my pup! I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Edinburgh and/or locals.

Really not sure how to describe “The Vinny” Not really a pub as it is all table service - so booking ahead recommended. The staff are properly hit or miss - either charming and helpful or grumpy and officious. It is an institution and the draft beer when it does not run out is well kept. So pot luck.

Randomly table serviced pub. Our table was wet, they couldn’t prepare 2 out of the around 20 drinks on the menu because they were out of coffee liqueur, but at least we had about 4 different members of staff to guide us through our order of two drinks and a packet of crisps and carry them all 4 metres from the bar to our table

Lovely little bar at the end of circus lane. Take the walk from Dean village along the river then head towards circus lane, wander down this lane and stop for a pint at the end, you won't be disappointed.

What’s your recipe for your mulled wine? Had a ton of it last winter and loved it. Best pub! Amazing dogs!

We stopped just to have a drink and the staff was friendly and the atmosphere was very good.

Fantastic little pub. Great atmosphere.

Amazing staff and location. Great drink selection 10/10

This is a lovely and cosy bar, wait staff were very attentive and they have some board games in the back although they’re looking a bit worse for wear.

Lovely spot for a cosy pint or a cocktail. The staff are so friendly and the drinks are made to a high standard!

Gezellige pub met lekkere drankjes! Inrichting van de pub was erg gezellig. Ook mag je je hond meenemen naar deze pub.

Nous sommes tombés dessus par hasard, au coin d'une rue et nous avons envie de nous y arrêter. Endroit super sympa avec un très bon accueil et une très bonne bière 🍺 Si vous passez sur Circus Lane je vous le recommande

Dogs, pints and table service pretty much sums it up. Not sure if food was just temporarily unavailable, or has been taken off the menu, but other people mentioned food - there was nothing but bar snacks when we went.

Great little pup in a charming part of town, with unique and inviting interior, great beers and very friendly staff

Pub avec une ambiance agréable, bonnes bières

Bel pub dai colori vivaci all’imbocco di Circus Lane. Buona selezione di birra e sidro, anche le versioni analcoliche. Una piccola isola per rilassarsi fuori dal trambusto della città.

Dogs! Drinks! Friendly place. But drinks only, no food.

Eten is niet slecht, maar ook niet super. Vriendelijke en correcte bediening

Great service and friendly people .loved that dogs can go too

Great pub. Wonderful atmosphere. Always a good night out. Bar staff are brilliant but take themselves a bit too seriously. Possibly a Gen X problem 😁

First visit tonight...amazingly located pub. Very friendly service and great selection of all drinks.

Really good mix of customers met some interesting people good selection of beers they should av notice up what time food stops being served

Such a cute spot to stop for a drink. We loved that dogs were welcome!

Very comfortable pub with friendly staff, especially Willow, who was so attentive with our little pooch!

One of the best pubs I’ve ever been to. Great service!

Brilliant hidden gem with great staff. Only gripe need better selection of bottled lager

Special place as dogs are given preference loved it, friendly dogs and people. A real treat

Absolutely perfect wee pub, great vibes and good prices

Another new bar for me in Edinburgh. Great vibe and excellent service.

Great little pub tucked a little out of the way. Pleasant staff. Very dog friendly.

Great pub! The warm gin drink (served in a teacup) was a delight & the bartender found my husbands phone and chased us inside to return it to him.

Brilliant local dog-friendly pub. You can bring your dog in on certain dates for a doggie photo shoot, you get a pic of your dog and a second pic goes in the Dog Wall of Fame on the pub wall ♥️ Brilliant selection of drinks, lovely staff and fabulous nibbles (smoked almonds, I J Mellis cheese and cured meat platters are fabulous!) 👏🏼

Great friendly bar.. perfect for whiling a away a few hours in friendly company

Pushy staff person barked at us that we could sit down but not for long as seats 'reserved' later, used to be good before they employed a fire breathing dragon

One of the best bars I ever visited. It offers a wide variety of local beers, a pleasant atmosphere. The decoration is welcoming and the music comes from vinyl records. It will be one of the first places I will revisit, when I come to Edinburg again. Cheers from Greece.

Pretty little pub, nice and cozy on a cold day. Excellent selection of alcoholic hot drinks, and good beers otherwise.

Great Edinburgh pub, worth a visit. You need to book as not usually possible to walk in.

Lovely staff and drinks are great the only downside is the “serving hatch” windows being open mid-winter in Scotland. We’re still frozen 3 hours after leaving the pub. Thank you.

Truly a local bar. You really get the feeling that you belong there. It's comfortable and cozy and fairly intimate not a large facility. But there is a small place to sit outside

Very disjointed decor and no atmosphere. Bar staff not particularly welcoming. Table service is not necessary in a pub for a drink.

Great place, dog friendly too 🥰

One of the best pubs in Edinburgh

Great place! Great choice of beer, music and service.

Such a nice pub with friendly dogs and staff!

Really nice pub. Good selection of drinks and great service

Good beer, 🍺 pleasant surroundings and staff, 😊 very dog friendly too!🐕 👍👍👍👍👍

Wonderful local bar, great atmosphere and really good staff.

1 of me favorite pubs in Edinburgh. Friendly staff, good beer and superb Vinyl music!

Friendly relaxed atmosphere, attentive staff..loved it

..."and one for the gentleman on the couch".

Fabulous staff, fabulous ambiance, fabulous mulled wine.....Pup friendly bar, what a joyous place to be!

Nice ambience often too busy tho

This place has been through many permutations since it was my local ten over years ago, not all of them as good as the original, but it’s current incarnation has recaptured much of what I used to love about the place. The staff are brilliant and the space is amazing --- a dark, sunken, Victorian drinking hole with windows onto street level, in the heart of the New Town --- and at last, it once again has a properly decent range of interesting beers to cover essential every taste. In my books, this now tied with the Cumberland for the best bar between the river and George Street —- but they’re both great, and very different, so it might be worth a few more visits just to make sure that I’m being fair… ;-)

Booked a table and had a really lovely staff evening here. We had table service initially which was unexpected but nice. The hot gin was absolutely lovely, sadly pretty expensive at £7.50 for just the teacup but it was worth it for only one! Great atmosphere and place, I really liked it.

Le spot idéal après un peu de shopping à Stockbridge ! En fin d'après midi, ils servent un Hot Gin fait maison délicieux, qui remonte le moral et redonne la forme ! Un vrai délice, et une serveuse très aimable.

Gorgeous little pub. After a lovely walk through Edinburgh this was a great place to stop.

Favourite bar in Edinburgh! Dog friendly and great bloody Mary’s 🥰

Great feel super efficient staff

Small, charismatic, friendly pub.

Have drank here for years - off and on. But new management style is atrocious. Bar staff literally scanning drinkers to ensure they are drinking fast enough to justify taking a space We had a couple of pints (over say 1/2 hour) sitting at a table and were asked three times “do you want another drink” When clearly pints were only 1/2 drunk. Then because we weren’t drinking fast enough to justify table space we were told, abruptly and rudely “ok you’ve got 10 minutes left” you seriously couldn’t make it up. This also happened to the the couple behind us and god for bid the poor single bloke who had the nerve the sit at a double table. Rude. Obnoxious unwelcoming and patronising. Shame because the bar is and always has been an aesthetically pleasing little pub. There are a lot of other better run and more welcoming places at the new town and in Stockbridge. Will not be going back. Note to staff and management - it’s a pub not an exclusive restaurant/club - treat your clients with respect not disdain. Addition. Per the response from the manager to my original review. I’m afraid I think you must have the wrong person. I think you must be referring to the other couple of people near the door that left in rather vocally in obvious “annoyance”. Time will tell if your approach to customers works. Good luck.

Μόλις είχαμε τελειώσει την υπέροχη βόλτα μας στην Circus Ln και το βρήκαμε τυχαία στο τέλος του στενού. Ωραία ατμόσφαιρα με υπέροχη διακόσμηση για κλασσική Σκωτσέζικη μπυραρία. Αξίζει να το επισκεφτείτε.

I hadn't been here for 20 years and it has definitely changed, but it is still a great pub.
