The Barologist in Edinburgh, City of

Love the barologist. Love the menu and the food and the service is great too . Feel like being at home with friends as a pose to in a bar. It’s more of an experience than a bar I’d highly recommend

£6.50 for 5 garlic mushrooms (with no garlic). £9.50 for 5 prawns. £5 for patatas bravas with barely a teaspoon of tomato sauce. £8.50 for a pulled beef flatbread with a tiny amount of meat.All unseasoned and flavourless.This place is a scandalous rip off. Steer clear.

Had heard mixed reviews here before visiting. Wasn’t disappointed, excellent beers, cocktails and snacks. V covid aware and a nice interior

This was our first visit, we loved the atmosphere, we thought the decor was extremely fun and the stuff were lovely. However we were a little disappointed with the cocktails. As a non-gin drinker there was a very small selection of cocktails to choose from. I tried three and they were drinkable, just not marvelous and I wouldn’t want to order them again. During lockdown I subscribed to Kocktail and think that the drinks I have had posted through my letterbox were of a superior quality to those being served. That being said, I would definitely consider visiting again in the future, just maybe not for a cocktail.

Visited on a Saturday night after reading amazing reviews. We were staying in town so well worth the journey out to Leith. The cocktails were amazing and absolutely couldnt fault the food at all. Thanks to Rhiannon (I’m sure that was her name!) for being a great waitress all night! Would definitely return if we were back in the area.

It was our 1st time out on date afternoon since lockdown and also our 1st venture into the Barologist, which is a very quirky steampunk type setting. Staff were very welcoming and social distancing and infection control rules were adhered to. We had booked into another venue for lunch but had nibbles (bread and oils and the anti pasti) and drinks, the cocktails are to die for and I hade my first Lychee martini - yummy. We were very impressed with the service and how friendly the staff were and look forward to beconming frequent visitors for lunch or even dinner next time. Book a table it will be worth it.

Después de estar de comida en George Street, nos recomendaron el barólogo y no nos decepcionó. ¡Qué concepto tan genial! El lugar, aunque las circunstancias actuales tenían un gran ambiente, el personal era amable y servicial y realmente lo pasamos muy bien. ¡volveremos! ! !

el barólogo es el lugar ideal si está buscando una comida familiar o una noche en pareja. Jamie y su equipo hicieron un trabajo fantástico al darnos recomendaciones y explicar el tema del bar, que debo decir que es un gran concepto. gracias por la gran noche. Volveremos.

Permítanme comenzar con una nota alta, el personal fue excelente y la actitud en la situación fue muy buena e hicieron lo mejor para darle la bienvenida, la comida por otro lado fue extremadamente decepcionante, sabía que era un menú de platos pequeños pero Creo que deberían cambiarle el nombre a un menú de degustación ya que el trozo de bacalao que llegó no era más grande que mi pulgar y se fue en dos bocados, el costo de esta breve prueba fue de 7. 50, estoy seguro de que podría comprar bacalao fresco por casi lo mismo, qué precio increíble por algo de este tamaño si hubiera sabido que me iban a estafar Me habría ido a otra parte, barólogo, debería agachar la cabeza de vergüenza, el La carne de res en los controles deslizantes también era muy pequeña, de aproximadamente una pulgada de diámetro, salimos con hambre y nos dirigimos a la carretera hacia Teuchters, donde no te estafan con porciones minúsculas.

Permítanme comenzar diciendo que durante esta terrible situación en la que nos encontramos actualmente, el personal fue extremadamente amable y servicial.Sin embargo, la comida y las bebidas son extremadamente caras.Sabía desde el principio que era un menú de "plato pequeño", pero era ridículamente pequeño.Pedí el bacalao. . . ¡el medio limón del plato era más grande que el pescado! !Los cócteles y bebidas son muy caros.Fue tan malo que mi esposa y yo nos dirigimos a Teuchters Landing "donde la comida tiene un precio razonable y obtienes una porción decente.Como Leither de 43 años, estoy disgustado con lugares como este y es realmente aburguesamiento en su peor momento. !

Llamamos antes de nuestra reserva para retrasarlo ya que íbamos a llegar tarde y el personal fue increíblemente amable y comprensivo. Tomamos unas copas durante un par de horas, lo cual fue encantador antes de pedir comida. La aplicación es excelente para cuando está ocupada, como con el distanciamiento social y los controles temporales (que en realidad no obtuvimos y nos dimos cuenta de que los estaban haciendo una hora después de la noche) significaba que el personal estaba ocupado pero de todos modos tenía tiempo para pedidos en persona . El pan plano de ternera era bastante basura, ¡sin embargo, el resto de la comida era increíble! ¡El bistec que comió mi madre estaba delicioso y las tortillas de pollo crujientes que comí fueron las mejores hamburguesas que he probado! ¡Las patatas dulces y los chips de sal y pimienta también eran geniales! ¡Y Dios mío, WOW, la tarta de queso biscoff fue increíble, con mucho, la mejor tarta de queso que he comido no me puedo quejar ni de mi hamburguesa! Lo recomendaría mucho

Habíamos reservado una mesa para cenar a las 8 pm. Llegamos 10 minutos antes y nos sentamos a las 7:55 pm. A partir de entonces, todos los camareros nos ignoraron por completo a pesar de que todos nos pasaron caminando varias veces. Ninguno de ellos ni siquiera nos preguntó si nos gustaría pedir algo de beber. A las 8:20 p. M. Y aún siendo ignorados, finalmente logramos hacer contacto visual con uno de los miembros del equipo de espera que luego procedió a alejarse nuevamente y, a pesar de que ella obviamente sabía que estábamos tratando de llamar su atención después de 25 minutos, esta fue la gota que colmó el vaso. Decidimos que ya era suficiente y abandonamos el establecimiento. No tenemos ninguna objeción a esperar, sin embargo, nos oponemos a que se nos ignore. Al salir, intentamos hablar con el equipo de espera que ni siquiera se disculpó ni intentó resolver la situación. En cambio, sonrieron y se encogieron de hombros. Estábamos tan decepcionados con el nivel de servicio que no recomendaríamos a nadie que visitara este establecimiento.

Mi pareja y yo visitamos aquí para comer y beber después de ver buenas críticas. La comida era muy buena, sin embargo, no nos dimos cuenta de que eran platos del tamaño de las tapas. Las bebidas están bien de precio y hay una buena variedad.La decoración es genial, muy bien temática para adaptarse al nombre.

¡Qué triste ver tal cambio para peor!Antes del encierro solíamos ser clientes habituales del Barologist y nos encantó la comida y el ambiente. Lamentablemente, todos estábamos muy decepcionados con los cambios. Su elección ahora es algo llamado menú de platos pequeños donde se le dan porciones extremadamente caras y diminutas. Pedimos la panceta de cerdo crujiente, salmón, deslizadores de pollo y la tarjeta. La tarjeta era pequeña y nada especial. Aparentemente, los controles deslizantes de pollo estaban sabrosos pero nuevamente muy pequeños y toda la panceta de cerdo estaba muy sabrosa nuevamente, el tamaño de las porciones era pequeño, así que no era lo que esperábamos, ya que todos teníamos mucha hambre y no estamos al tanto de este nuevo menú. También pedimos patatas fritas fibrosas, patatas bravas y batatas fritas. Llegaron las patatas fritas fibrosas y ambas porciones eran como un plato lleno de papilla empapada, pero lo peor estaba por llegar. Pedimos un pan plano de ajo y parmesano que costaba 6. 50 y cuando llegó, la única forma en que puedo describirlo es como un pan crujiente o algo similar a un poppadom con un poco de queso con ajo encima para 6. 50! Estaba seco y, francamente, ni siquiera valía 1. Decidimos no comer postres y fuimos a otro lugar; todavía siento un poco de hambre. Es muy triste ver lo que pensamos que era un gran lugar con un gran cambio de menú tan drástico. Desafortunadamente no volveremos. Comida y bebida caras y de muy mala calidad.

Fantastic food, great plate presentation, amazing and friendly staff. Absolutely great for the COVID-19 safety regulation. It worth it all!

Loved everything about this bar from the friendly informative barman to the quirky decor. Lots of seating areas and great choice of drinks. Would highly recommend.

Toevallig binnen gerend na hevige stortbui om wat te drinken. Wat een bijzonder leuke en mooi ingerichte pub. Vriendelijk personeel.

Stopped in for a drink with the wife and young kids after a long day of travel. They couldn’t have been any more welcoming - efficient staff, great selection of drinks in a calming surrounding - just what we needed and we will be back!

Have been here once before and found the drinks expensive. We decided to try the food tonight due to the good reviews... so disappointing! Half the food was unavailable (understandable I guess due to lately reopening?). Ordered olives which didn't arrive. Ordered a pink gin and got an ordinary gin. A glass of wine cost £9.45. £7.50 for two mini burgers (think hors deuves size). The food arrived less than five minutes after ordering so must have been reheated or microwaved. The quality was that of Iceland bargain frozen food. This made Wetherspoons look look Michelin starred.Eat out to help out... apparently you have to buy a soft drink in order to qualify so they added a £1.80 coke to our bill... although I cannot find this rule listed on the government web site.I cannot see for the life of me why this place gets such good reviews... second and last time I'll be going there. I can cook better than the food we had tonight... and I failed O'level home economics. Save your money and go across the road to Teuchters.

Food was all tasty , waiting staff were friendly and helpful, overall good just a bit pricey for food and drinks.

I had such a great experience with the staff at the Barologist. Alessandro was so helpful in the month leading up to the surprise Baby Shower I was planning. Answered each and every little question and worked with me on my plans.On the day of the event, while I wish there was a designated member of staff to assist with our room needs and set/up (as I maybe wrongfully assumed there would be), the bar staff were incredibly helpful particularly Cara (hopefully I have her name right!) who was an angel with our admittedly needy party as well as her own tables and bar work in the restaurant.The Winter Room that you can rent out is absolutely gorgeous and doesn't even need much more decoration outside whatever theme you have planned. The food I heard was great (I didn't eat myself) but I certainly would have ordered more as it was gone in a heartbeat! We also planned on vegetarian and vegan options that came out unmarked so be sure to clarify this in the buffet plans to make sure no one eats anything they shouldn't! That was fixed quickly by staff though once realized.I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to book a nice event.

Had a midweek meal and it was a little disappointing. The lone waitress was very pleasant but the poor girl was trying hard to keep everyone happy. Our soup and main course were small in portion despite coming from the "large" menu. The quality was ok though. The price of a large glass of Sauvignon Blanc (£9.15) was way over the top and these rip off prices will probably lead us to go elsewhere next time.

Ordered of the small plates menu. Big plate of whitebait probably more than the chips we ordered ! Absolutely revolting , can't stop being sick. The chicken sliders were poor as were the beef sliders ! Flat breads are basically tortilla wraps fired up with cheese on then terrible. Won't be back actually felt like asking for my money back.

Was expecting a lot from this place but the wow factor was not there. Slow service and cocktails were very average. I am sad to say I will probably not be back..

Popped in after having a walk along the front on a very cold day. Decent menu and drink choice is ok a little over priced compared to others but I suppose you pay for the quirkiness.

The Barologist is definitely a quirky bar but the quality of drinks was very poor. One of the worst cocktails I've ever tasted at more than £10.00 a pop and did not use fresh ingredients. Far better options for cocktails in the local area.

Came here for an afternoon tea and it was mostly average. When we got our order I found it odd that the table beside us had macarons on theirs but we didn't. The waitress didn't tell us what anything was and we weren't given side plates. Sandwiches were unremarkable; 3 finger sandwiches. The scones were cold they should've been warmed but tasted like any other scone. The cakes were decent but overall nothing made this afternoon tea stand out

Stumbled across this bar as we wandered around Leith. Great place. Really interesting looking bar. Excellent table service and selection of cocktails. Highly recommend.

My friend and I love going to different places for afternoon tea so bought a voucher.A nice table at the window was reserved for us and the girl who served us was very friendly and invited us to see the other rooms.The four rooms all have a different season theme with the winter one being our favourite.The cake stand had a selection of white bread sandwiches. Two small scones each with a side dish of jam and cream and butter. Macaroons and two cakes each. A pot of tea which the girl replenished twice for us.We are definitely going back for lunch soon.

We visited for a cocktail masterclass last Saturday and would recommend The Barologist to anyone...everyone in our group of ladies loved it! Fantastic location in Leith, great ambience, lovely selection of cocktails and really friendly staff...Ashleigh was a brilliant teacher, very knowledgeable and patient. Thanks to the team for helping to make this a really special event. :)

I bought the above vouchers as a Christmas gift for my daughter, daughter In law and mum. I phoned and booked the afternoon tea with the Barologist as soon as I bought the voucher and told them that one of the afternoon teas was to be Gluten Free.

Came upon here by chance and very glad we did. I chose the small starter plates and I have to say the belly pork was delicious as was the patatas bravas.

Steak pie was incinerated to the point the meat was like leather. They apologised and offered a replacement meal, but it took 15 mins to arrive. It wasn’t busy and I only ordered sliders. Wouldn’t recommend.

Out for a few drinks in Leith and went into barology.

Nice decor, nice staff but the food is outrageously expensive for tiny underwhelming dishes. £18.50 for some bread, charizo and ham. Same dish in Newcastle is a fiver. Very very small portions. Bill came to £180 for pub grub is I'm afraid guys a rip off. I ate cheaper in St Barts in the carribean for goodness sake. It's prices like this that discourage repeat visits.

Really nice quirky bar. Live the decor and the drinks are good with plenty of variety. Plus it is dog friendly which is a definite bonus!

First things that hit you on entry is the smell of cleaning fluids. Next the decor. Crap hipster meets cheapo steam punk. Food very poor. Slice of duck pate well sliced with a bit of green. Main. Some beef thing as above. Nice tatties though. Desert. Crème brulé. Burnt and thin. Service great. Avoid.

Quirky lively bar. Service was good and pleasant staff. Unfortunately they fall down on the food . Ordered whitebait which had been deep fried for too long . Prawns in garlic butter were just warm . Wouldn’t recommend for food

Great find very quirky inside Not so many local beers to try but good all the same, staff were very friendly and accommodating. Had some sliders and straw chips to keep us going Busy and interestingly decorated

Visited on a quiet Sunday early afternoon, the look and feel of the place is great - a bit quirky and different but still tasteful. They had the football on too so I was happy. The boy at the bar was excellent to us as well, really fine guy - cheerful and funny.

Superb drinks and fabulous food! What a hidden little gem. When we arrived we were warmly welcomed by staff , especially by Mr Barologist himself, and were offered an array of drinks. The flat white martini being my particular fave (I had certainly more than just one) if that wasn’t enough they were able to print any picture I liked on to my cocktail too!

Gorgeous surroundings and really impressive selection of small plates to share. Well chosen menu. Delicious. All around good experience. I’ll be back.

Was recommended and it didn’t disappoint. Really different & interesting inside. Tapas style menu & great cocktails. Very enjoyable afternoon and will be back.

Popped in for a drink and was amazed by the decor and the total look of the place and staff. If you like Steam Punk you will love this place. Had the house G&T; and house lager both excellent and well priced 😁

Great food, good selection of drinks and service second to none. The staff were extremely accommodating and really made a difference to our evening.

Had dinner round the corner and had always wanted to pop in here (two birds one stone and all that).

Took a punt as we didn't know the place and had a surprisingly good meal, my slow cooked beef literally fell apart with a fork, only thing I would note is that its a small plate menu which is quite confusing as one is not quite sure how much to order and to be honest the waitress lovely as she was confused us even further, we overdid it in the end as the dishes are larger than tapas but smaller than a main, v tasty though

In the area for the Tattoo and had booked a meal the previous night at a restaurant nearby and one in the city centre for the following evening. Called in to the Barologist on way back to hotel after first evening and liked the welcome and staff so much we booked a table for the following evening and cancelled our other reservation

I live locally and enjoy going to the Barologist for light lunches and celebration dinners. Interesting "small plates" - "full" meals can quickly become quite expensive... (budget around £ 30 per head for delicious food, e.g. three plates each plus dessert.). Warm welcome from friendly, professional staff. Strongly recommended.

Just called in attracted by the interesting window displays despite scaffolding! Good friendly welcome and a nice drinks menu.

1st time in the Barologist as we come from through in the west (of Scotland). What can I say but wow! Totally delicious food, every dish was more scrumptious than the last. Can totally recommend the pork belly and the cheese cake. The decor was amazing and the service was 1st class. Really friendly, polite and professional. Took time to chat too. And the added bonus was a visit to the table by the barologist himself!!

Just been to Leith, Edinburgh for four days, found this place for drinks before going to a pre-booked meal, wish we had found it at the start of our stay, amazing interior, very friendly staff, made us some very enjoyable G&T;’s we chatted to the barman & mentioned it was our anniversary, he later brought us over a cocktail to share on the house, wish this place was in our home town!!

I was fallowing Barologist facebook page for over a year, pictures of inside and food look really amazing. I dreamed about going there one day ( we live outside of Edin). Finally that day arrived, we decided to celebrate our 1st wedding aniversary there. We did call in to book the table but when we arrived noone was informed about us coming. Had to wait until they will organise the table etc. Food tapas style, really not tasty. Partner had pulled duck and I had sirloin steak. We both didnt like it, shame we chose that place to celebrate such a importnat day. Good for a pint and thats all.

We were here for drinks and there is so much choice. Chilled out vibe to the place and great service. Cheryl served us and she was amazing. Cocktails are lovely and although we didn’t have food it did look

The place to be for cocktail lovers. The espresso martini will make you crave a night on the town. A nice atmosphere and selection of drinks: what can go wrong?

We visited during the Edinburgh fringe. As it is outside of the city near Leith it was not as busy as the city itself

The menu is based around 'small plates' designed to be similar to Tapas style portions of different dishes.

What a fantastic place ! My hubby loved everything about it when we went there for his birthday! Love the idea of food is served like tapas and all the dishes are very creative and delicious, menu has loads to choose from!Cocktails are amazing ! Very friendly, polite, helpful service. Food and drink is delivered quickly which is impressive. Interior is incredible!!! We are so impressed, I know for sure we are going to be back here numerous times!

We popped in for cocktails after a birthday dinner on Friday. Fast and friendly service was followed by great cocktails - french martini with Happy Birthday written on the foam was a lovely touch for the birthday girl. I will be back.

My partner and I popped in for drinks with my daughter, whilst visiting The Edinburgh Fringe.

Excellent restaurant, type tapas A faire si vous êtes sur Édimbourg, facile en famille (même après 20h)

We loved the cameo bar, but what they have done with it is pretty amazing. Lots if quirky additions. The place is really luxurious. The staff were great and we felt welcome and looked after. Really recommend sampling the cocktails!

Big place, great window displays, quirky decor inside - very steam-punk / Victorian-themed with oddities and experiments on show, lots of ornate mirrors and portraits.

We popped into the barologist for some lunch and a few cocktails and were not disappointed. The only difficulty was choosing what to eat and drink. We settled on some of their small plates, some sweet potato fries and the star of the show — the haggis macaroni (not sure if this available out-with their macaroni Monday’s) to share. That is macaroni that dreams are made of! Their own white wine and the house rose was really nice and all the cocktails were fab! Will definitely visit again. Highly recommend for date night or heading out with friends.

Just had an amazing time celebrating my daughters birthday!! So much fun with Kyle the Bartender who helped us make the cocktails! Food was delicious too! A big thank you to the whole team for a great night!!

From the outside, this place looks lovely and full of promise. However, lurk deep in the depths of the pub at the back, and it's no so nice. Noisy with terrible decoration.

We came as a big group for a birthday. The menu was plenty to choose from. All the food was really tasty. I though the menu was slightly on the expensive side however. The service was really great and food was served quickly.

Stumbled upon this bar whilst visiting some of the better known bars in the Leith Docks area. What a find! The exterior belied what was within. The decor and lay out of the bar is quirky & interesting, especially the Winter Room. The food was amazing, we chose to have the tapas/ deli board. A fixed price for 4 different dishes was very appealing. The variety, quality & quantity was brilliant. Craig behind the bar was very informative regarding the variety of different beers on tap and was able to prepare a cocktail for my wife which wasn’t on their list. The sign of a professional & competent mixologist. I highly recommend The Barologist to all, you wont be disappointed.

We had lovely wine and gin with friendly service. Our starters were amazing. Wild Mushrooms for nephew and I had awesome prawns. My fish batter was slightly soggy and the chips were my biggest disappointment. To me triple cook chips should be soft inside and crunchy outer coating. These were not. In part I think because the potatoes had not been peeled. Laziness in the kitchen.

Popped in for drinks and ended up up having some of their tapas. 4 tapas was more than enough to fill us up at lunchtime. Inside this place is quite quirky with copper pipe work leading to the beer taps etc. My wife liked the cocktails. Service from the guys behind the bar was spot on.

Visited here for a few cocktails, absolutely love the theme and the atmosphere plus the service was spot on. My only comment would be that it isn't cheap but you do get what you pay for!

Good selection of cocktails and uniquely-themed quirky bar - themed around the weather/barometry. All your usual cocktails plus some unique and interesting extras. All the drinks were a good size, well presented and tasted great!

Food was teribble and the service was far below standard. The tepanyaki salmon was swimming in the syrup, the chicken kebab was heavily burned and my sun threw up after his burger. The service was below standards as the menus were almost thrown at the dirty table and they tried to charge us incorrectly for the wine. So while charmed by the original decoration we soon regretted our choice. We sat out the meal while enduring the hard music which made conversation difficult. We were glad to leave the place.

Me and my sister booked our 30th birthday with Jamie at the Barologist . from start to finish Jamie was more than accommodating and went way above and beyond what we expected . The team were amazing and so friendly with all our friends and family we also had a magician who was brilliant and great for all occasions. They reorganised the entire floor to accommodate our guests and checked up on everything every so often to ensure we were having a great time. overall an amazing experience would definitely book again as they accommodate every occasion and can make a special birthday an incredible memory. Thank you barologist and Jamie for going out your way to ensure we had the best birthday ever!

Looks different to other pubs. Going for a retro/steam punk look. Almost pulls it off. Food was OK but not as good or complete as the menu suggested. Service was OK.

If Barologist was a meal it would be an ikea hotdog. Looks the business from the exterior but hollow, soggy nonsense once inside. Poor service, drinks pitched as unique that you can get round the corner for half the price, atmosphere akin to an evening with Michael Gove but aff the ching. The reality is manufactured hipster-ism is but a front for a very average outfit; far better options for cocktails both in Leith and the city centre. If zero out of five was an option, the folks at Belhaven who actually operate this chain would be one of the few to plumb similar depths to those that Steve Zissou managed.

I came here for my birthday dinner with the family and would definitely be back again. We were impressed with the menu, lots of choice for everyone and hard to decide what to have (the homemade pies looked amazing so I'll be back for one of those!) I had a Laughter in the Rain cocktail and I would HIGHLY recommend it - bit dangerous as it goes down like juice and I could have drunk about 5 more easily.

Very slow service, food OK but not worth the long wait. Restaurant is looking grubby already and it was very smelly. Cocktails are good but no atmosphere so not worth it. Nothing special.

When I first heard about this place, I was itching to visit as it sounded exactly the type of place I'd enjoy. I'd heard it was a less pretentious cocktail bar, with interesting & visually pleasing drinks, in a quirky setting.

Brilliant & values for money, Tom the baroligist was great, funny & entertaining the whole time, we had food too which was really nice too. Would definitely recommend here for a fun day/ night .

My partner booked here as she saw it online and liked how nice it looked, I really enjoyed all my food the atmosphere was nice the staff was helpful all making sure everything was ok and you needed a drink , wait times for food was not long and food was really nice when I walked in I thought it looked expensive but it wasn’t that bad , but I would recommend going here if it’s your birthday i didn’t know until my partner told me I would get a 3 course meal completely free, so then I thought food wouldn’t be as nice but I was proven wrong it was beautiful,thank you really topped my birthday off

For a Saturday night the place seemed rather quiet with little atmosphere. The staff were friendly for most of it however the drinks we had were more expensive than London prices and seemed very pretentious. Management seemed poor and would not recommend this place at all

Strange. Dark. Steam punk. Quirky. Noisy. Time machine. Clockwork. Themed. Food. Cocktails. Candles.

Enjoyed birthday drinks and tapas here. Staff v friendly and food tasty. Only drawback was the time it took to get drinks, but we learned to order them well in advance of wanting them. Had a great free quiz on whilst we were there too.

The decor in this pub is quite quirky and worth seeing. Good menu, very good service and the food was very tasty.

We had fish and chips and a burger which was very nice however the bruschetta for a starter was a small square of bread with tomato topping, I will say it was very nice but value for money was not good, even the waitress was a bit ashamed to serve it. Five and a half quid for this! Not worth it at all

Un lieu hors du commun pour passé une soirée entre amis .

I've visited this place twice already - first for a drink - great selection of wine, dry ice cocktails and what my husband loved the most a range of 4 or 5 shots of different whiskeys - like a wee taster board but with whiskey :) the second time was for food with my friend - more good wine but this time I had a chance to try their delicious food - went for deli boards choose 4 dishes from the menu huge selection! Food was very tasty, good portions and arrived pretty quickly. Overall service was very good, friendly staff. Worth coming in, the place looks amazing inside, very stylish - each room have a different decor :)

Had lunch with work friends wasn’t impressed with food at all. Very basic and bland. Decor is different. Staff was friendly but a little inexperienced.

Visit with family for a birthday lunch. Especially pleased birthday girl ate free! Another benefit was children's meal are free during April. Good portion sizes and varied choldrens menu. Staff couldn't do enough to make it a memorable occasion.Will be back.

Great cocktails in a fantastically fun bar, the staff were really nice with great big smiles and happy to help. Just pop in and have a drink even if it is just to explore a steam punk, Alice in wonderland

Took my partner here for a birthday meal out. Food was delicious - I had the beef burger and he had the mac and cheese with black pudding. Great portion sizes - couldn't stomach dessert as we were so full but the lotus biscuit cheesecake looked amazing! Only thing I found was that a lot of their cocktails were quite expensive - they were still tasty but overall not quite worth the money. Their classic cocktails were more reasonably priced however.

We loved this pub! Food was beautiful we had the 2 courses for ten pounds lunch menu as it was a weekday and it was superb. Excellent value too. Drinks are lovely and decor is gorgeous so quirky i love it! Staff were helpful and polite too. Cant wait to go back!

Drinks and ambience are really nice and pleasant. A bit over the top and bizzare, but nice. They seemed to forget a little bit that bar is a bar, and not anything else. They didn't let us order at the bar pointing out there is a service. Service was there but not for us, I would've been better for all if we just orderwed at the bar really, and not waited and waited for server. We ordered 3 cocktails from menu and a couple of beers. Beers were nearly finished and cocktails still not served. Get faster, more efficient or get more people on shift. Bar was 40% full when we came in, I wonder what's it like on Satuday nights. Cocktails weren't complicated to make either. Some old fashioneds and esp martinis etc. Should be 3 stars really but staff were nice and drinks good, just no proper supervision or training in my opinion.

Very quirky bar we wandered into and hd a nice cocktail in. For it being quiet I would say perhaps service was a little slow but there's so much to look at it really didn't matter. Price and quality of drinks were very good.

My daughter, son and grandchild, also my husband went for a meal on Mothers Day, the staff were very attentive and friendly and the food was excellent, would highly recommend The Barologist for a superb meal.

I don't know if we just went on a bad day - but the food here was utterly terrible! We both had the chicken and bacon burger...

Great venue, great staff, food and fab cocktails! Huge variety of cocktails that get updated frequently also! Very tastefully decorated within the theme of and with their very own in-house barologist host and a genuine Tom Collins mixing up his signature drink. En par with what you’d expect from a themed London bar/restaurant but even better location of the unique and much loved, Shore, Leith (Edinburgh). Absolutely worth the short trip from town to experience, a hidden gem!

Just visited this fantastic bar/restaurant today for lunch and drinks.

Excellent service followed by great cocktails. The food was full if flavours and cooked to perfection. Will definitely return
