Gran pub acogedor, con comida sabrosa y buena música. Lo mejor fue el servicio. La joven que nos atendió fue absolutamente fantástico, tan amable, atento y eficiente. He estado en restaurantes de 5 estrellas y no tuve tan buen servicio. Todo el personal era muy amable y profesional. ¡Creo que hemos encontrado un nuevo local!

Vinimos aquí a principios de año como había reservado para una comida india un par de puertas abajo. Vinimos de nuevo esta vez en busca del mismo restaurante y llamamos por un par de bebidas. Esta vez fue más tranquilo ya que estábamos temprano. El servicio era muy bueno y las bebidas eran muy razonables. Volveremos.

A great wee bar situated on Drummond Street, just of from South Bridges, a main street into Edinburgh. A nice selection of beers, etc. Music (rock or related genre) plays in the background with a screen playing a mix of music. A reasonable length bar with bar seating. Tables and seats can be found around the bar. With another seating area around the corner from the bar. There is also seating outside. The bar staff were friendly and quick to serve. There was an eclectic mix of punters. I wouldn't necessarily say a student or tourist bar. And certainly not a bar with an old local sat in the corner Nursing their beer. For me, it was a great place to stop for a couple of reasonable priced beers before heading to a gig in a nearby venue (the Mash House) a great wee place.

Had one drink and left after the attitude of the barmaids left me and my friend actually shocked. They seemed to be tending to people who were coming in after us in the centre of the bar while we waited and we thought it might have been because we were stood at the corner so after about 15/20 minutes of waiting and watching everyone else get served I asked one of the girls “is this a serving area?” Genuinely wondering incase we were at the wrong part and she gave a rude tone back “I’ll serve you in a minute” we were like okay… then another girl came over and served us with a really monotone/couldn’t be bothered attitude not a smile or any sort of happy customer service and ID’d us, I’m late 20’s and my friend is 30. Fully aware of challenge 25 but my friend who didn’t bring her ID stood with tattoos showing. Regardless she served me my alcoholic drink and served my friend a coke, defeats the purpose as it’s against the law to serve anybody without any proof of ID and also have under 18’s with no ID in a bar. The two barmaids proceeded to then talk about us loudly and laugh at my friend not having ID. Honestly don’t know what we did to annoy them so much, it was our first drink of the evening so we weren’t rowdy or drunk or annoying anybody.

This might be my favourite boozer in Edinburgh…. Local bar vibe during the day, busy in the evening with a mixed crowd enjoying either the cool tunes they play in the bar area, or watching a movie in their “cinema” room. Good times.

Pequeño bar callejero. Es popular, así que a veces se pone muy ocupado y no es tan grande. Tiene algunas salas que se remontan para servir como salas de eventos / espectáculos del festival marginal. No vi un espectáculo, pero me detuve aquí para tomar una copa en el camino a otro lugar y era un bar con un ambiente fresco y muy LGBTQ acogedor. Tenía una pinta de mono que era muy necesario en ese momento. La próxima vez que esté en Edimburgo definitivamente pasaré más tiempo aquí.

Really chill pub, the bartenders are always friendly - when I asked for a non alcohol recommendation they were really nice and we had a funny chat about it, where they could have easily been weird instead! They also proactively ask if you're a student as the drinks will then be discounted, which was great for me because even though they have this fact signposted on the wall, I forgot to ask for it! The huge sofas in the back room are really comfy but this can sometimes encourage couples into some intense PDA😭

Only stopped in to use the toilet which was appreciated! When I entered there was two doors in front of me, one marked men and the other ladies, I opened the men’s door to find a lady on the toilet doing her business.. very uncomfortable for both of us.. Shared toilets with no locks on the doors? Why? Ladies for the ladies and gents for the gents

Entró y volvió a salir. Precioso pub dentro. Buena música. Chico de bar amable. Cómodos asientos. Bonito ambiente La cerveza estaba podrida. Tenía Guinness que no tenía cabeza y era plana. Muy pobre. Socio tenía una pinta de Innes & Gun que sabroso muy extraño Es un buen pub, pero no pagan casi £ 12 por bebidas que no están a la altura. Limpia las tuberías.

What a gem of a pub. We loved the great atmosphere here, and the unusual decor and lively buzz. The staff are great too - we watched them efficiently and effectively ask a group to leave (obviously not high on alcohol but something else) and we were all reduced to helpless laughter when the last one out shouted that they would leave a bad review on Trip Advisor! You can't give a bad review for this lovely place.

Same goes fr the Monkey in Leith Walk ,great crowds ,great atmosphere, great food and wild selection of alcoholic drinks and non alcoholic drinks. If I recall, the Brass Monkey in Leith walk holds a quiz nite each week with decent cash prizes. Great pub to take the dog in fr a nice cold pint. Dog friendly and helpful staff.

Quaint bar which is rather tardislike - bigger on the inside than would appear from the outside. Bar staff were very friendly and overall the place was pretty chill. I'd stop in there again for a cheeky pint or two. Lacked crisps. I think. Good prices and great drink selection. Even had Pernod, something 10 other bars had failed to offer.

Brass Monkeys are cool pubs, with a quirky blend of traditional and modern features. Only really stopped here for a "cheeky" pint after work so can't really comment, but I would happily go back. 3 stars for atmosphere, there was a group of shady looking guys by the door eyeballing us, not sure why. Didn't eat the food.
