The Chanter in Edinburgh, City of

Great place to pop in for a quick and cheap lunch deal. £8 for a burger, pizza, or baguette, plus soft drink, is definitely a good deal. And the food is actually pretty decent.

Banquet for 2 with gristly beef and funny tasting chicken. I've had better pot noodles than the chicken noodles soup! We didn't recive any of the free extras for spending £38 on this garbage ! We'll over price. Save your money!!!

Attended for a friend's birthday. Tje staff were attentive and helpful. Food was easy to order and tasty. Great space with tvs if you want to watch sports and a pool table too.

Amezing food,very friendly and welcoming

Muy mal servicio. Frente al miembro del personal de la casa fue grosero y abrupto porque le preguntamos si podíamos entrar con niños. Nos dijeron solo si pedimos "comida completa", que estaba bien. Procedí a informarnos que solo podíamos sentarnos en cierta parte del bar, no podíamos movernos y tuvimos que salir tan pronto como pedimos comida. Dicha parte del bar estaba subiendo 3 escaleras que nos dejaron para navegar con un doble buggy. Pedí un plato para compartir, no se dan platos laterales y solo un juego de cubiertos. La comida estaba fría a la llegada y el personal continuó comprobando si habíamos terminado de comer como tendríamos que salir. Muy mal servicio y se podía decir que no éramos bienvenidos en absoluto.

Food is amazing quality and the service is great.

Was just an awful online booking experience and dealing with the central team. Place is absolutely fine. I'd suggest just pop in if group is small or avoid if planning large booking

Had a great time here on Wing Wednesday- thanks. Great service and great wings! Recommend!

Cuatro de nosotros llegamos a cenar y al hacer nuestro pedido, uno de mis amigos pidió su hamburguesa para incluir solo tocino, lechuga y un aro de cebolla. Sin queso o sin salsa, etc. El servidor escribió esto exactamente en el equipo. Fue 45 minutos después que llegó nuestra comida y la hamburguesa vino totalmente aderezada con el queso y todas las salsas del día. La hamburguesa fue enviada de vuelta y nos dijeron que tomaría 5 minutos, pero tomó 25 minutos. Cuando llegó, solo tenía la carne y un aro de cebolla, ¡sin lechuga ni tocino! ¿Qué tan difícil es obtener un pedido correcto leyendo realmente lo que se va a incluir en él? ¡Vergonzoso no es la palabra!

Amy, Rebeca, Noah and Sara were amazing. Super fast service and really friendly

25 min average wait time for a drink, unbelievable, only one staff member was so rude

The quiz on a Thursday night is a good laugh, just need to dust off your brain cells, and your off

1st time there what a enjoyable visit food was fantastic and very friendly staff defo be bk soon

Amazing pub , what a night this has been 🥳 The guys at the bar are wonderful and so eager to assist you, unlike so many others ... Tons of screens for your fav match and great choices of lager. And that along with loads of space for your gang to have fun . Great place to hang out 🥳🍺🍻

Mi pareja y yo tuvimos una gran comida aquí! Era perfecto, no demasiado elegante o caro. Las camareras morenas era muy servicial! Desearíamos tener más tiempo para quedarnos a tomar un par de copas más.

We spent new years eve here and thoroughly enjoyed the night. The staff ensured that the bar was not overly congested and patrons couldove freely. I believe that we spoke with Harry the manager who was a gem. Highly recommend.

***AVOID*** Wouldn’t go near again with a barge pole. Extortionate prices for pints when I visited last week. Bouncers deny access to individuals for no reason, and pick fights with them. Claimed they were full on New Year’s Eve, yet clearly letting in larger groups. Don’t waste your time.

Great pub with a good atmosphere, good food and friendly staff. Drinks reasonably priced and free darts.

Good bar with a good selection of beers and tasty food

Hey, we had a table of 14 , the area we were sitting was nice, the food order was wrong, the speed of clearing table was very very slow . The staff working were nice but it took the shine off a good night.

Great wee bar, football on screen, music and darts with giid drinks selection

Busy wee place, really nice staff and drinks were a very reasonable price.

The General Manager is a gem. He's brilliant, attentive as anything, and super friendly. The short brunette girl with glasses is rude lazy and avoids serving folk at all cost, thats costing the changer business and a reputation. The young brown haired lad that worked with her was OUSTANDING. tipped him cause he served 3 people in the time the other lass served one. aye she's the reason for the 1 star review

Visitamos para ver rugby y agarramos algo de comida, tenían encantadoras opciones veganas y vegetarianas y el personal era tan servicial - un montón de mesas estaban reservadas para el partido, pero nos ayudaron a encontrar un gran lugar para ver el partido : ) un montón de opciones para bebidas y un ambiente encantador.

Great Pub, lovely staff and the food menu is top notch...

Reservamos un brunch con alcohol en este lugar, 6 bebidas cada una en 2 horas con una selección de comida. Elegí una hamburguesa con papas fritas después de ver esta comida en la mesa de al lado, nunca como hamburguesas en restaurantes, pero se veía bien, así que me arriesgué, tan contento que lo hice. Tanto la hamburguesa como las patatas fritas eran preciosas. Mi esposo eligió un gran desayuno escocés, es bastante exigente con la carne y no tenía quejas con la comida que recibía. Las bebidas eran de buena calidad y nuestro camarero Kirsty era atento y amable. Volvería a The Chanter y creo que es una gran relación calidad-precio!

A wee bit pricey, but cool for watching sports and overall a good vibe.

TV's everywhere. Some reasonable food and drink deals and approachable staff.

Nice pub, lots of space and pretty well looked after. Haven't eaten here, but had drinks here a few times

Visited for the quiz night, but couldn't hear myself thinking.

Didn't eat here but the menu looked great. They do good process on drinks Monday to Thursday so if you are in during the week this is a must stop off. Really nice independent beers too and such a nice bar. Keep up the good work you are doing it well

Foods shite (burrito with chicken). Coca cola tastes like chlorine. Nice room.

American style sports bar pub. Bombay pizza was unique and tasty. Service was friendly and convenient. Lots of tvs with soccer, cricket, rugby, if that’s your thing.

Often very busy, for good reason. A great spot you can't go wrong with.

Good food, good service, and good drinks.....

Had a boozy brunch with five of my mates during our day trip to Edinburgh to see Mammy Banter, and I'd gladly go back to Edinburgh just to visit Chanters as the food and cocktails were spectacular. The servers and staff were really nice and welcoming too. The toilets were really clean and the atmosphere was good with a good mix of ages and people. I can't recommend this place highly enough. Loved it.

Lively college bar. Great place for football matches and billiards table. Bar food was good also.

Excellent local vegan pub. The cauliflower wings and vegan taco was a highlight! Can get a little loud but this is perfect if you want the local experience.

I've never been to a typical scottish pub, but as I imagine it, it is. Many types of beer, ciders, food is simple, but very good, the burgers and the plates also. If you want to spend the evening, it's a good place for it.

Great Student deals, the karaoke was so much fun. Has become a local because of how great the atmosphere is. Our bartender Steph was so lovely and served us our drinks quickly. Food menu looked great too.

Good sports bar in Edinburgh, it can get quite busy and noisy depending on what’s on. We had a few beers and food, and we left completely satisfied.

Sadly, we ordered the "Benedict eggs". As you can see in the photo, there were more fried eggs than poached eggs, and the hollandaise sauce was chopped, not emulsified. Awful. Besides, after bringing the dishes from half of the table, they told us that the oven was not working and they had to fry everything, taking even longer. I guess they didn't know how to make the sauce and were trying... Too bad.

Nice student pub, expect it would be extremely busy on a Friday or Saturday night, however an afternoon there despite the old firm being on we had booth seating looking at the Castle. Would recommend!

Great place for chill drinks. My partner and I went and played pool while enjoying a decently priced pint considering Edinburgh prices.

Small pub with views of Edinburgh Castle. Large selection of drinks and also an unusual variety of dishes. There's also pizza here.

Great atmosphere and drinks. Many thanks to Jenna the tall bartender you were very nice

Terrible, halfway through the meal they told us that we had to eat quickly because the table was booked, without giving us the opportunity to sit at another free table... how disgusting!

The chanter is the best pub with the best pub quiz in the whole of Edinburgh. Best night out :)

We love the chanter pub quiz and the cheap pints as well! Shout out to Harry the incredible host! 💜💜

Great value on the weekday discounts, and best place to watch the Olympics

Liked this bar before the refurb, but now its kinda everything I'd ask for in a bar. Good pints, great deals, foods perfect, staff are sound as, new layout is perfect. Hope it does really well. If you haven't been I'd highly recommend but only if your nice and respectful :)

Lucy served us and she was fabulous! Such a smooth and friendly service from her, would definitely visit again :)

Cauliflower wings are amazing. Could definitely eat a kilo! Brill service and very clean and comfortable pub.

Five star food and drinks, great vibes and comfy seating. It’s a great place for family and friends. Even dog friendly. Absolutely amazing

Had a brilliant night in the chanter! Recently refurbished and the place looks amazing! Gorgeous selection of drinks and the staff were so helpful- will definitely be back soon 🍻

Food was fantastic, particularly the cauliflower wings! Atmosphere was great and the service was brilliant. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic Job on the refurb. Really good value for money, great food and drinks. Fantastic Atmosphere with great staff. Thank you for your hospitality 🙏

Amazing atmosphere, cheap drinks and great, helpful staff!!!!

Ordered the rolled pizza with chips and extra chicken. I do NOT recommend this to anyone, if they are expecting an undercooked pizza. As the pizza arrived, we were looking forward to eating it, as it looked delicious. On the menu it said “hand stretched dough cooked in an oven”. The pizza was barely cooked, and when we asked the waiter who was serving us, he said that the restaurant gets their pizzas FROZEN. I was really confused, but I understood judging by how the pizza looked.

We were looking for a restaurant with music and found it on the internet. But there was no live music. What a pity. But the food and drink were very good.

Visited for a Taylor Swift themed boozy brunch prior to our eras tour date at Murrayfield - the venue had gone to great lengths to stick to the theme with a fully redesigned menu and freebies (glasses, hats, tattoos etc). Service was excellent and food was delicious - amazing selection of drinks. All in all a great visit - thank you

really good vibes!! amazing, friendly staff and a great selection of drinks

Great atmosphere, staff friendly. Great boozy brunch!

book in advance if there's sports on

Boozy Brunch was amazing. Well worth the money!!! Lisa was amazing and couldn’t do any more for us 🥰

Lisa was the best host to our boozy brunch, we had the best cocktails, would defo recommend the tiki sunrise, and the little rebel burger!! And then the £4 cocktails and pints afterwards just made our day the best, everyone come chanter !!!

had a great boozy brunch experience, lisa was amazing with the service! the food was excellent would definitely recommend to others!

Had a lovely time in the chanter last Friday, super friendly atmosphere and great food, lucy who was serving us was so polite and lovely

I really enjoyed having drinks here. The best service from Lucy !!

Such a nice vibe especially Lucy!! She was such a friendly girl and very helpful !! Will deffos be back beside of her great service

Lucy was a lovely girl! she made me an amazing fire and passion!!!! Had a great chat with her she seems like a smart girl and has a bright future ahead! Be lucky you have employed such a gem and hard worker!!

Went in for a few drinks last month and the service was so fast and friendly. Our server was called Lucy and was absolutely lovely

Lucy was very helpful and friendly.

Great service from the staff, especially from Lucy. Very friendly and helpful

Went in for drinks to the chanter, always a great atmosphere in there. my server I think was called Lucy and despite the busy shift, she delivered service with a smile and served the most CRISP pint, many thanks to her !

Was here for some drinks last night and it had such a good atmosphere, was served by lucy she recommended the posh totty and it didn’t disappoint!

Best pub in Edinburgh, always go whenever I’m there staff are lovely expecially lucy always goes above and beyond

Harry Whittaker went above and beyond to make our evening at the Chanter memorable. His charm really made us feel at ease and his knowledge of what was available to drink was commendable. If you’re lucky enough to have him on shift your trip will be fantastic.

Lucy was really helpful and quick with service, was superb! Really enjoyed our time at chanters!

Lucy was great! Very attentive and welcoming

Had the best night on Saturday cannot recommend this bar enough!! Lucy was so lovely, she made the best drinks and definitely made my night 10/10! Will definitely visit again!

Came in for some food and drinks over the weekend and was thoroughly pleased with my experience, the waitress Lucy was knowledgeable and very helpful in serving our food and drinks! Will most definitely be coming back!

Didn't eat much there. We shared some chicken wings and had a few drinks with friends. Was a late Monday night, so it wasn't the best day in the week for a proper review.

Popped in for a quick drink after dinner and was served by Lucy, she was so lovely and chatty! She definitely made our evening.

Selection of guest mystery beers on tap, liked the surprise of trying different lagers/ales

We came in over the weekend and had an amazing time, the staff were all so kind, Steph in particular served us, she told us about the mixr app, which is worth it with the free drink we each had. Beautiful view of the castle. Would 100% come back and recommend to everyone who wants great service and a reasonably priced pint!

Best bar in Edinburgh by far, love the atmosphere, the staff and the prices! Tuesday until Thursday they do beers and cocktails for £3.75!! That’s dangerous for some 😏, but honestly had a great time in this bar, they do amazing food too and they do QUIZ NIGHTS which was so fun aha. Would definitely recommend to anyone especially students or people in their 20s 30s.

Went in on Sunday for food and drinks. Brilliant service from a bartender called Lucy and the food was delicious. No complaints :)

Staff are really friendly, food is immaculate and atmosphere is great. Would recommend to anyone looking for a lovely bar

Went on a Monday with no previous booking and got a boozy brunch . Service was immaculate and for only 31 pounds we got 6 drinks and a main of our choice (which was huge btw). Would be back in a heartbeat.

Had the boozy brunch and it was amazing I had chicken wings and the drinks were very good as well plus the staff were really friendly and had great chat

Go on Thursday for reasonable priced beer! Service was excellent tonight! Just chill but very positive and timely! Chips were nice and crisps and two good local beers! Previous reply a few weeks back: Not 100% sure how to reply to your inquiry as your the first business to ask how to get back a star. Thanks for replying. Why 4/5 overall? It’s really due to sometimes the services can be a bit lacking. But then other times the staff is very friendly and punctual. It fluctuates too much between visits. The last time I went in: Ordered a pint of cider that was very flat. When I went back up the two folks tending just said that was the way it was supposed to be and left it at that. No offer to replace it, I even asked if they had any bubbly cider I could buy… got a no…. not that I’d want to waste it (just wasn’t a fan of it), but there was a good long awkward pause and I left when I realized they didn’t want to help or offer an alternative. When things pickup on trivia night more bar tenders are needed. Remember a few months back where one person was on tap for like 15 folks in Que. I gave up Overall like the drink offerings (price is good), place (though TVs are hard to see, but go in to socialize), and food (though only had chips or fries). Just needs improvement on service.

Terrible service. Calamitous atmosphere. Serves at the head of the customer. Absolutely not recommended.

Excellent pub with great food and drinks, really enjoyed the evening here, watching the football and playing pool. Our server Steph was very polite and helpful.

Student pints here slap so hard, it’s such a lovely place and they dealt with some horrible customers in such a loving way. Steph and Rebecca were the ones who had to deal with it and were so sweet. Would not just recommend to a friend but a girlfriend (or boyfriend) as well xx

Don't think because it's a sports bar the food is basic,honestly it's top class,unbelievable value for money

Cool, sports bar with great food and a good beer selection.

Great student type bar with pool tables and sport. Prices are reasonable for the city centre, which is expensive in general. Top tip, Thursdays is pub quiz night.

We had a a festive boozy brunch which was great. The table was set with Santa hats and crackers. We received a warm welcome from Rebecca and she was brilliant throughout our sitting. The food was very nice and the cocktails that were included were nice too.

Great night out staff are excellent only negative is the music was so loud we couldn't hear ourselves talking
