Cheap food and drink for Edinburgh city centre pub. Always pretty busy so not good for a quiet chat.

Ok pub. Can't believe how busy this pub is. Need to be putting at least another 3 staff behind bar. I'm sure they're taking enough money with the price of the drinks

I wish I'd discovered this place much sooner.....I would have saved a fortune. I had a very enjoyable large Scottish breakfast for £7.43. It was way better than the equivalent I had elsewhere that cost £22!!! Hot drinks only £1.56 but also offer free refills. So all in all it was fantastic value for money and decent quality products. The drinks menu also caught my attention......very cheap compared to most other places with pints of beer as cheap as £1.99 and most others being less than £5. Bottles of wine about £10 cheaper than most other places at under £15 and cocktails also offering great value. I will return here on my next visit to sample more food and drinks.

Too busy and too noisy. WiFi didn't work so unable to use app to order anything.

My friend was kicked out of here by a bouncer when he was completely sober. He had a couple sips of his drink, he went outside for signal and they wouldn’t let him back in because he “had enough alcohol” need to rethink your bouncers and who you hire. Because it was completely unfair. As we were leaving the same bouncer was going around telling people to leave. Clearly some sort of hobby for him. Food was alright

For a pub on a Saturday in Central Edinburgh we were pleasantly surprised to find it a nice busy. We easily found a table and app ordered drinks and food arrived quickly. The staff were friendly and the place had a nice relaxed vibe. Would definitely head here over other JF's in Central Edinburgh.

Popped in on my own on a Friday evening about 7.00pm to wait for some friends to arrive (still haven’t got any). It was really busy and had a good mix of people in. Ordered a pint of Paolozzi from the bar and managed to find a vacant table to waste away a half hour people watching. I can’t say anything bad about the AGB as it is what it says, a Wetherspoons! We all know what to expect and that it will have a decent selection of very reasonably priced drinks and food. The table of hen party girls sitting behind me certainly seemed ecstatic when one of their number came back with 3 bottles of Prosecco for under £45. The party was about to start!!

What can I say. It’s a Wetherspoons. One thing to note here however, are the toilets that are no further away than any other normal pub 😆 Actually, I’ve noted most Scottish ‘Spoons share this trait unlike the English ‘Spoons where you have to walk 500 miles and then 500 more to access the toilets! 😂👌🏻 Overall, a pleasant place where you know the standard before you enter. Good ole ‘Spoons!

Typical traditional breakfast eaten here several times and was always good. Pleasant atmosphere, prices relatively good. In all respects it performs significantly better than other breakfast places in Edinburgh, even if, for whatever reason, they are better rated.

Two female bar staff members provided exceptionally poor service and customer care. One staff member was an older woman with glasses and black hair, while the other was a younger woman with orange hair. My partner and I visited the bar for drinks and stood waiting for over 10 minutes without being acknowledged. The staff were inattentive, serving customers who spoke up first rather than those who had been waiting longer. When I finally intervened and informed the younger woman that we had been waiting longer than others she had served, she conferred with the older woman, who then informed us that we would not be served. This experience was shockingly unprofessional and disappointing. 01/08/24

Totally unfair that non smokers are forced to sit with smokers in the outdoor area. This area is for everyone to enjoy my husband and I have respiratory issues but we should be as entitled to enjoy a drink in the open air along with other customers. These smokers should be moved to a smoking area for a cigarette. Unfortunately they think the outdoors belongs to them. Comeon Wetherspoons we are all customers and we don’t deserve to have our air polluted by selfish smokers you should be taking care of that

Staff asked for my ID card, which I did not have with me. I'm 27, but a photo wasn't enough to prove. Don't get me wrong, I understand all of that. They couldn't pay me back, they could only offer me a soft drink instead of a cocktail, which are not equal in price. So I went back to the hotel to get my ID card, and when I came back the staff apologized with a glass of wine. At least that's what I thought, because ten minutes later the glass was taken away. A few moments later the staff looked carefully to see if I did drink some wine out of the glass and put it on the bar, probably to sell again to someone else. The food is good but the service is very very very bad!!!
