The Jinglin' Geordie in Edinburgh, City of

I went on a Europe trip last year and this was by fat my favorite pub i went to. The people and atmosphere was incredible. I only had one day to spend in Edinburgh and the majority of it was right here having great conversation with great people.

Perfect night on a Monday, will surely come back

Nice location for beer and conversation. During our visit we had a conversation about beer with the man behind the bar and in the end everyone was happy. Nice ambience, nice service

Lovely pub,great beer and atmosphere and helpful pleasant bar staff

Clean and friendly bar in the back streets. The beer was clean and tasted cold and crisp! 👍

Favourite pub in the whole of Edinburgh, amazing staff and atmosphere. Always visit when I pass through.

Perfect for a drink! The employee behind the bar was very nice.

Only there for the beer good night had by all

Stopping here beats walking all the way up in one go, good for a pint for the thirsty 🤣🍺

Amazing little pub. Was there most of the night the bar staff are amazing and friendly. A really decent pub to go to and enjoy

Without a doubt THE BEST pub in Edinburgh.

A small, quiet pub. This is a great place. Small, cozy, and just the right interior to make it charming.

Small little pub hidden down some steps off the main road, chill vibe and friendly staff. Good selection of beers and spirits available. Nip in for a quick low key drink and the walk back up the steps won't seem too bad!

Very rude. Walked in, the lady behind the bar tells the older gentleman "omg more people walking in" and walks away with a sour face. Man looks at me and doesn't say anything, just stares at me. I said "hello", no response. He just blinks looking annoyed. I said "hi" again and he motions slightly with his chin as if to say "what do you want?". I said "nevermind" and walked out with my 2 friends. Clearly they're experts on how to lose customers in 10 seconds. Then again, if their initial reaction to customers walking in at noontime on a weekday is disgust, they don't deserve to be in business.

Cool little hidden bar with a warm welcome for us and the dog alike.

Nice wee pub Friendly Full size measures 👍

Lovely little pub service was great, watch when drinking nips as it's 35ml, when we were in there were a couple of Australian tourists in and weren't clued up on whisky, but the bar staff were very knowledgeable. The only minus was the steps into and out of the pub not any good if you are bad at walking, will definitely be back.

Great laid back cozy little pub. Friendly and kind bartenders. Comfortable atmosphere.

Locals and tourists alike visit this traditional Scottish boozer, prices are city centre prices. Bit of a cliche

Brilliant bar with small seating area outside. Great atmosphere.

Small and cosy bar, good service and reasonably priced stock.

Ottimo pub tipicamente scozzese, assaggio di vari whiskey consigliati dal simpaticissimo barman, ottime le birre. Consiglio vivamente di fermarsi per assaporare la tipica vitalità dei pub scozzesi. Ottima esperienza

Polecam fajny pub i mają też inne piwa 😉

Great bar full of character and friendly staff and people

Friendly, decent ale with good price

Great locals pub with attentive service!

Really nice standard Scottish pub with TVs usually showing football

Decent boozer, and great service

Absolutely hands down the best local bar in Edinburgh. 10/10. Ask for bartender Martin!

Smells of stale beer, staff unwelcoming, Empty....I wonder why. Used to be good. when there was a newspaper office next door, full of half cut hacks...now a grubby tourist trap playing 80's greatest hits which makes sense.... probably last time this boozer was worth a visit.

First time in all my life in this establishment Good choice of Beers and shorts Havana club no7 a good pick Extra cudos for being a dog friendly pub so we could sit in with our border collie Benji

Good traditional pub without any pretentions and a good choice of drinks. The decor is good and the windows are particularly interesting. The smoking area is a welcome addition and more pubs should have one. It almost makes me regret that I gave up the weed. The barman was very efficient and also very friendly and knowledgeable.

A great wee pub - a hidden gem in a beautiful close in Edinburgh’s old town. The bar is traditional but with all the mod cons you would need. A must stop on your way to or from Waverley train station. A shout out to the exceptional service provided by Martin. Will defiantly return. Izabela

Lovely public house great selection of beers and spirits lovely beer garden highly recommend

Centrally located, historical boozer with a good drinks selection and friendly atmosphere. Martin may well be the greatest bartender in all the kingdom.

Great bar with friendly staff and regulars. We've just been back 2 years later and we're welcomed as friends. Great barman who tells me his name is Martin. Taught me how to make my card work using my nose ha

We walked in an ordered beers. The bartender was very rude. We attempted to try and make the situation better but he pretty much ignored us till we left. Stay away! We went to another bar and had the greatest time.

Comfy wee bar that has one of the best locations in Edinburgh

Great drinks and a handy last step on the way to the station

Nice old fashioned boozer down one of Edinburgh's closes. Has sports on in there, friendly atmosphere.

Proche de la zone très touristique, bar très sympa sans touriste ou les prix sont très abordables

Outstanding bar as you walk up stairs from Waverley station. Lots of history from the mad old days including footballer and raconteur George Best and the many journalists that kept him company.

Friendly Pub and staff, Didn't seem too overly expensive for a city centre boozer. Beer seemed in good condition.

Great pub, friendly staff, what's else to say, would definitely go back.

Nice little pub if you can find it ( not too hard) Sky sports , great music in background. Decent prices and good choice.

Small pub with good prices . Off the main the Route beer garden with no sun

Just to have a pint in a haunt of Rebus.

Excellant pub and the staff make you feel so welcome, especially George.

Brilliant wee boozer 🥃🍻🎩🤷‍♂️🥳🥳🥳

Came on recommendation of a friend. Seriously think we saw 12 year olds having pints here. Def not an atmosphere for us

Proper pub in the centre of Edinburgh. Nice change to the pubs full of tourists and actually had some real locals in. Felt and smelt like a real boozer. Well kept beer at good prices. Will definitely be returning in future

Hidden gem always worth a visit when in Edinburgh, good beer and company. I’m not sure the beer garden has many plants.

Love this bar. Traditional, no nonsense boozer in centre of Edinburgh

Super little pub. A real hidden gem just down one of the many little side streets of Edinburgh. Friendly staff. Well worth checking out.

Great wee bolthole in Edinburghs old town.

Great wee pub, a proper pub with proper beer and proper seats at the bar and everything. Love it.

Always my last call every time I visit Edinburgh before I drop down to Waverley station for the train home, always a decent pint

Old pub athmosphere. One of the few.. Love it!

Damp smell within only taken away by a patron at the bar being allowed to smoke. Not recommended 😔.

Great wee place hidden in centre of town

Good priced beer slightly off the beaten track

Good beer good service friendly staff and customers

Lovely little pub and loved the crack about Georde Bedt

Nice enough bar smoking area out the back, just expensive you couldn't afford to drink here as your local!

Good old pub between the station and Cockburn street. Closed at the moment because of this pandemic but is on the list for a visit.

Cosy little pub with reasonable prices. I'm sure Mr Best would still approve!

Old pub off the beaten track. Good local beers. Polite bar staff who let us taste the beers and even offered to top up my wife's pint after she spilled some 😀

A proper bar. Good selection of beer. Not one for people with younger children

Decent pub, nice for a quiet pint. Good location too.

Always nip in for a drink if early for a train down South. Better than Waverley Station bar by far.

Perfect pub if you want a pub. Only downside was the slow server who was more interested in gossip than service. However, certainly worth the wait 👍

I have been here many times, a great starting point with friends for an evening out. One of the best places to have a great city drink. I am fast becoming a regular and can happily say this place is clean, has very friendly staff and a really great place ! A hidden gem.

This place has the toilet out of TRAINSPOTTING and a few of the folk from the film as well,outside the pub a guy full of something asked for change or a cigarette

에든버러 기차역 근처에서 가까운 곳에 위치한 펍입니다. 역에서 구시가지로 가는 좁은 골목길에 위치해 있는 펍으로서 그 지역의 분위기를 느끼기에 매우 좋습니다. 펍 안에서 친구들과 함께 맥주를 마시며 이야기를 나누는 스코틀랜드 사람들의 모습을 보면 그들의 일원이 된 느낌을 가질 수 있었습니다. 뒷골목 비슷한 곳에 위치해 있다는 느낌을 가질 수도 있지만 그러한 곳에 위치해서 그런지 더욱 정감이 있는 느낌이 듭니다. 또한 펍은 다양한 종류의 맥주를 보유하고 있어서 원하는 맥주를 선택해서 마실 수 있습니다. 비가 오고 날씨가 궂은 날이 많기 때문에 외부에서 비를 피해 펍에 들러서 간단히 맥주를 마시면서 축구를 보는 것도 하나의 경험이 될꺼 같습니다. 스코틀랜드의 펍을 느껴보고 싶다면 한 번 쯤 방문하면 좋은거 같습니다. 역 근처에 위치해 있어서 기차 시간에 맞춰서 여유롭게 맥주를 즐기다가 기차를 타러 가기에도 좋습니다. 직원은 한 명 뿐이었는데, 친절하게 손님을 맞이해 주었고, 계산을 할 때에도 돈을 맞춰서 낼 때까지 천천히 기다려 주고 친절하게 응해 주었습니다.

Nice quiet place a bit off the beaten path

Its like steppin back in time Old school pub. Good selection of drinks go for a drink and banter.....

Hidden fun pub in a backstreet of Edinburgh, 1 minute away from the tourist attractions

Old time pub ,got on the chat with 3 gentlemen and as it turned out we were connected through area's and names and sports from 45 years ago , fantastic wee pub.

Total incompetent bartenders. I literally witnessed bar keeps drying glasses vs. tending to customers wanting drinks and then watching them leave without a thought or care.

Really good bar, it is a little too hot for me inside.

Very expensive for non alcoholic beer whis is ridiculous how can anice bar 150yds away charge £1.08 less for the same beer

reminded me of the small traditional bars from my home town, worlds away from the many commercial pubs in its locality. will definitly be back!

Best pub in the centre of Edinburgh.

Neat pub with a cool patio out back. Just off the Royal Mile, but with a much more “local” feeing... with prices to match. Edit: Confirmed the local feeling by drinking and chatting with some Edinburgh residents for several hours. The pub was great, the company fantastic. Had a 10/10 great night here.

Nice old pub tucked down an Alley. 3 real ales on of a good quality. This place and the Royal Oak are a must if you like a slightly off the mile pub. Eastern European bar lady was friendly, very easy on the eye and was happy to change my first pint which was the bottom of the barrel.

Good stop off point on your way back to the train station or when you've first got into city. Nice traditional pub, speedy staff.

Smell as like old fashioned sweets or pic n mix, but lovely pub, slightly expensive but good for a quite pint and sky football on if interested, good selection of McCoys crisps as well.

This pub is a veritable oasis, right smack bang in the centre of the city. Guid beer and guid company. Sheer Nectar, I say.

Smelled horrible. Otherwise OK, but wouldn't recommend

This is my second home in Edinburgh so go figure.

George Best got plastered here once. OK.

nice atmosphere and very good beer!!

Friendly pub with terrace for smokers. Cozy wee place in town 😊

An unlucky day or is the beer always that bad?

Strange smell about the place. Strategically place candles to mask it. Cheap pints. Not overly welcoming. Could do with a general refresh of the decor and the customer service considering it's prime old town location.

Bit of bait on reasonable price

Great atmosphere good batman great selection of beers and spirits

Good place for a drink before boarding a train if you have some time to spare. Better than the bar at Waverley Station.

Very busy on Saturdays... Good Guinness

Cody little pub if you can find it .. well worth a look
