The Three Sisters in Edinburgh, City of

Had a fantastic experience here! Super lively and fun and bartender was super knowledgable think her name was Ellie? Will defos be back!

Refused to show Eng vs Italy W6N game as they didn't have a 'license' for BBC, but proceeded to show the football later that afternoon...streamed from the BBC. Nothing else was being shown on screens at the time. Terrible from an 'official 6N fanzone'. UPDATE: As much as I appreciate you replying, I've added evidence of the W6N game being shown on BBC 2 before the male Scotland game. As an 'official fan-zone of the 6 nations, ' I think you need to do much better.

Party Party Party...bachelorette parties, dancing, and alcohol. Indoors and outdoors. Good music.

Lazy Liars. Went in to watch the W6N match as they advertise being the home of the 6 Nations in Edinburgh. Empty of customers and nothing on the screens but told they couldn't show BBC. Was a kick in the teeth to then pass later and see the BBC football being shown. If you don't want to show Rugby or Women's sport own it, don't lie to people. Used to think they were a good rugby pub, so disappointed they've ruined that reputation.

Luckily managed to get a ticket for St Patrick's Day. Without doubt the best party on the planet. Well done 3 Sisters

came in with a large booking for my cousins stag do last weekend, we ordered a ‘man plank’ and the food was delicious, honestly shockingly good for being pub food. we had a great time and the service was amazing - special shouts out to charlotte for helping us with the booking and natalie on the bar for recommending we try the peach lager, so yummy!

Love this place! Fantastic atmosphere for sports and live music is brilliant! Shoutout to Kelci fabulous service

Nice bar, good priced beer, huge outdoor area with big screens for sports games. At 3pm on a Thursday it was mostly lots of students in there studying.

The best place, Iona is the friendliest bartender!!!!

Sexual discrimination. Literally have a que for men and women. Disgusting in 2025.

Terrible experience over Wales v Scotland match, pre booked a table for my family and i paid £75 and was a shambles when we turned up as no way through the court yard safely you had to literally push past like sardines to get through and was told we were upstairs so we went upstairs and then was told no no you are downstairs so went downstairs and so went back down amongst the absolute chaos and they had so many people waiting who had paid more than us for there experience and were late getting seated, we finally got taken to our table over 20 minutes later than our booked and paid for time after much confusion from staff with where it was everyone was sitting! And then there was people sat on our table who then had to be moved and table cleared so that took another ten minutes so half an hour late we finally sit down and time was going on the game had already started and so we were not happy about that, and then the whole hassle of asking where our drinks were after another twenty minutes of waiting and that was all stress as we had paid for drinks and food in advance before going to Edinburgh and then the shambles of the three sisters took away our experience of watching the rugby in there bar! Would never recommend going during any rugby festival or anything big as it was dangerously busy, personally after going to the three sisters and seeing how it was managed from getting in the court yard etc they should have a pathway from the entrance to the door clear from people, put a barrier either side so it’s safe to walk through and there should be no pre booking on rugby days etc as it should be first come first served in there with getting a table, very disappointed and not worth £75, way way too busy in there, how there allowed to have that many people in there is beyond me! Health and safety would of had a field day! Better management and thought for customers is needed.

Went for rugby. Place was hugely overcrowded and way over their capacity! Pre paid for £100 tab up front. Drinks took over 30 mins a round to arrive. We ended up leaving after 1.30 to go somewhere else. Absolute chaos and a clear risk. Would not recommend and go there at your own risk.

long wait times, expensive, and the bartender got drink order wrong - gin and soda instead of gin and tonic… bartender we got was also quite rude and not helpful at all.

Iona was fantastic, and all the upcoming events appear incredibly exciting.

Very pleasant staff & welcoming !! Thanks

Rude, racist and pathetic staff. Spoilt the entire night us

Good fun but a little rowdy, need to sort the outside bar situation was a very long wait for drinks

Absolutely terrible, booked it for the rugby and they gave us warm beer, they forgot our food. Rob my mate was devastated by this because he's a very hungry man

after we went inside to the toilet, it was impossible to leave. they did not implement an effective one way system which enabled us to leave while others were coming in. after about 20 minutes of people pushing and shouting, wanting to leave, a staff member informed us that there was a way to leave. thinking, thank god, we happily took out, only to realise it led us outside of the pub. we later tried to get back in, yet they said it was at “full capacity” keep in mind, at LEAST 50 people left through that side door. we attempted to que, as they said we only had to wait 2 minutes, yet after about 40, they yelled only those with booking to come in. moral of the story, go to beehive instead, the atmosphere is much more lively, and much more welcoming.

lovely place for students!! bar staff named Celia explained suggested to download the scotsman app for cheaper student drinks which was handy :)

Watch the rugby here at the weekend - it’s was buzzing, great atmosphere

Amazing venue, staff top notch. Food great value. Atmosphere unbeatable

Got served by celia and emily when i went in and they were such lovely girls to chat to!

Can’t remember anything from my night here. 5 stars.

Cracking place for sports, food and entertainment

Central busy pub, with something for everyone. Free comedy shows for the festival, projector showing sports, live music, and two pint tumblers. What's not to love?

Went to watch Ireland vs Scotland & was told tables where reserved after we had got our drinks. Terrible service won't be recommending here.

A good place, they serve you quickly and very well located

"double vodka" had next to no alcohol. Tastes like what you could get in McDonald's but for £20

Gran ambiente y comida con un barman encantador que sirve nuestras cervezas y los tragos de todo el mundo. Gracias Tommy.

Sports bar completely full of TV screens. Each table (of 8 people) has its own screen and there are 3 huge screens outside. Also very good sound quality. The bar service is top notch. Good choice of drinks. Kudos also to security. Nothing can happen to you in this place.

Amazing night out, free entry, music on a Friday is a mix of club classics and cheesy pop. I highly recommend!

It’s a bar. But we don’t drink. I can’t review all aspects accurately. But we stood at the entrance at the hostess table for 20 min and no one even looked at us. Finally got ur hotel to work out an arrangement for service for food. We got half of our order and the half we got was cold. If you like to drink and not taste food it will probably suit you better.

Alli era muy atento y eficiente. Buena diversión y tuvimos una buena experiencia en 3 hermanas en general. Ha sido un día divertido y volveré. Gracias

An absolute hole of a place. Big screens are about as good as it gets. Staff were decent but not a manager in sight, place is filthy and food is woeful. Much better nearby

Lugar encantador con buena música. Emily detrás de la barra era tan amable y servicial. Super amable cada vez que visitamos! Muchas gracias por una gran noche como siempre🫡

Great spot, had a makeover since my last visit a few years ago. Big place with a courtyard equipped with a massive screen. Decent selection of draught alcohol and the grub was good.

A typical bar (although a bit Erasmus) in the center of the city, and on top of that with a great terrace to watch games, have a drink, etc.

Amazing vibe to watch sports with your friends

Asked the bartenders to play the NFL playoff games, which they eventually did. Then, around 11, they switched every single TV to some generic ads. There was an entire group of us watching the game and they refused to switch the TV back. And for what, to show ads? Place sucks, find somewhere else.

Un tiempo increíble creado por un servicio inolvidable. Pedí una limonada de vodka esperando un precio alto y con suerte un poco de hielo. Lo que conseguí fue más allá de mis expectativas. Una sonrisa, una cara amable y una rodaja de limón en mi bebida. Esto me ayudó en un momento difícil, ya que me enfrento a un caso judicial (estoy libre). Gracias Tres hermanas y gracias Sara.

10/10, best place always for anything ever, birthdays, leaving nights or parties. Highly recommended to anyone in Edinburgh

Went for New Year’s Eve, really good night. However, we had tickets but still needed to queue and there was other people in the queue getting in without tickets. Really good night but queuing for an hour and a half was a joke, event was poorly managed.

Me my girlfriend and a couple friends all paid £35 per ticket to come here last night got here 10pm only to made to wait in queue over an hour and then eventually told that we were not getting in I get if there’s too many people inside but why sell so many tickets reimbursement would be appreciated absolute joke

Love this place! Amazing staff, amazing vibes!

Fantastic atmosphere in a comfortable, friendly place. The staff were so nice and full of smiles. Food was lovely too. We will most definitely be back. Thank you for creating such a friendly, fun time for us all

Lovely food, great atmosphere and fantastic friendly staff

Brilliant venue, probably the best along Cowgate. Regularly visit.

Had great night Christmas Eve Staff were fab u lus and friendy atmosphere great . Would definitely recommend 3 sisters . Looking forward to our next visit

Enjoyed a wonderful meal at Three Sisters with a few friends. Can’t rate the food highly enough but even better was the staff! What a lovely bunch! So welcoming and helpful. Looking forward to our next visit to try out more of the cocktails!! 👍

Great staff! Great food! Lovely, friendly atmosphere. We had a great time, the staff made us very welcome, nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely recommend and be back

Had a little stroll around Edinburgh during my trip and stumbled across this place. I was a bit lost as I was solo, but I felt very comfortable once inside. Kelci, one of the staff, was extremely friendly and welcoming! She helped me with the menu and answered any questions I had because I have some food allergies. She was very patient and I had a great time overall! Definitely recommend getting a drink here, the cotton candy martini was delicious.

Was served by a lovely girl called Iona, she was so friendly and had great recommendations, was spot on with what we’d like - will definitely be back!!

Had to queue 15 mins to be served be sole barmaid at bar.

Good food! Great service - our server Charlotte was very attentive especially since we were a large group!

i visited the three sisters last saturday, it was a great vibe and what made it even better was i was served by the gorgeous blonde lucy. she was very present and easy to locate at all times. my only wish is that customers were more patient with the staff as its obviously a busy venue and people could be a bit more patient. Well done to the staff especially the beautiful lucy.

Last night I was in with my family for some Christmas drinks and got served by a lovely young girl called Amy , she went above and beyond to help us out and recommend some drinks which where absolutely wonderful from there cocktail menu . Will definitely be returning in the new years to have some more 🥳

I had a fab time at The Three Sisters, and I have to give a special shoutout to Charlotte. She was amazing—so friendly, attentive, and made us feel really welcome from the moment we walked in. She had great drink recommendations and checked in just the right amount to make sure we had everything we needed. The pub has such a great vibe, with an amazing singer on. Charlotte's service really made the experience unforgettable. I'll definitely be back—thanks for making our night so great!

We had a great work night out the other night at the 3 Sisters! Charlotte was our server, she made us feel very welcomed and looked after us very well, checking up on us several times, making sure we were always happy!

Great night out for karoake on a Sunday

Great place to have your Christmas party

Have you ever been to a bar in edinburgh and ordered a pint and been charged a service charge for doing so? Well you’ll be glad to know The 3 sisters now provide this. That’s right, if you go to the bar, wait in line, order your drinks and then pay, they will charge you 2% service charge for doing so. Absolute madness.

We have been here for very short time but it was a great experience with good atmosphere and nice music and dance. Bodyguards at the gate was scary. I will never enter the pub if I were alone and without group. Will recommend this place and I will go again when I visit Edinburgh for next time.

Stupid loud music playing all night. You are sick!!!

Super comfortable armchairs Prompt service Toilets could use some updating

Great atmosphere!! My group and I went as tourists and we loved the music and the good vibes of the place and the people. It has an exterior and interior part :)

We had a table booked and went to see our friends in the queue for a minute near the front of the line and when we tried to go back in they denied entry. When we tried to talk to them they said we are not having this conversation. Unbelievable

We reserved a table for 5.15 pm on a Saturday night with live rugby, and arrived on time, just to be told that they did not have a table ready for us. They asked us to go buy a drink in the bar and return in 5 minutes. However, it was impossible to get to the bartender in 5 minutes, due to the bar being packed. When we returned after 5 minutes, there was a new queue for the counter. We were told that the table was almost ready and we were led to the table after another 5 minutes or so. We asked if we could order food and drinks directly now, but we had to go to the bar to do so. So we went to the line at the bar to order. It took 30-40 minutes, before we were able to order the beers and pizza. We got the beers right away after ordering and were told we would get the pizza delivered to the table. However, it took more than one hour or more before we got it. It ended up taking almost two hours from our arrival till we got our food at our table. I understand that it was a busy night, but everything was just so much more cumbersome than it had to be. To be fair, the pizzas were actually quite good for a pub dish.

Cool space, but not for an old guy. Heat for students

Booked sharing platters for a stag party of 25 people.sharing platters had a massive amount of very good food which had plenty to feed everyone. The platters had burgers, wings, chips, nachos, Mac and cheese and this also came with a Stein of Tennents or Cider. We could also order any drinks we wanted at the bar. This is the perfect venue for stag parties as it is one of the best bars in Edinburgh aswell as having really good food.

Bartender Will made me a quality margarita, excellent service and very friendly. Would highly recommend this venue, will be coming back soon.

Casual afternoon and we were lucky enough to be served by Iona. She answered all our questions and made suggestions before making our drinks. Great visit Iona, it was lovely to meet you!

Slow service, although I can understand, there were mass of people. The food and the drinks were good.

We didn't have the food, but overall experience was great.

Love coming to this place!! Food is always delicious, staff are friendly and the live music is always a outstanding

Popped in for a couple of drinks, great atmosphere, friendly staff and delicious cocktails! Shout out to Toby!! Would definitely recommend!

Had a fantastic time at the Three Sisters. The food is always perfect and the staff are excellent!

Iona was absolutely brilliant, will be back!

Iona was super friendly and kind. Toasties and soup with a pint hit the spot for lunch. Will definitely be back when in Edinburgh!

Very good dinner and drinks at the three sisters. Charlotte was a fantastic host and waitress and the food and drinks were served quickly and all at a very reasonable price too. We will be back.

It's housed in a former historic brewery site and is famous for its 24/7 party atmosphere. It’s friendly crowd, great music, and welcoming atmosphere.

I booked a table to watch the rugby because there was a big group of us. I booked it weeks in advance and was assured our table was confirmed etc. When we arrived at the confirmed time the place was packed - to a dangerous level. The staff had lost control of the place and our table had been taken over by another group. You could hardly move inside or outside in the courtyard due to how busy it was. I understand with it being match day it was always bound to be busy, which is another reason we had booked seats and a table. We did eventually get the table back, but trying to get drinks was almost impossible. It was a bit of a shambles to be honest, and the atmosphere was odd in there (which isn’t always the venues fault and likely due to it being match day). It’s a shame I’ve had to write a fairly negative review because on previous visits it’s always been good fun in here, but on this occasion it was disappointing. If you are in a group it’s probably still worth a visit, just try and avoid match day when Scotland are playing!

Decor was really cool, staff were friendly but food was okay

Don't you have a night curfew in this city???Turn down the damn music after 11 p.m.!!!!

Large outdoor and indoor space with free film screening from deckchairs. The burger is good, the place very charming

Visited The Three Sisters on a quiet Monday night and had a rather mixed experience. The highlight of the evening was definitely the acoustic guitar music, which added a lovely, soothing ambiance to the place. The musician was talented and played a great selection of songs that perfectly suited the relaxed vibe. However, the pub was quite empty, which was a bit surprising. While it made for a peaceful and intimate setting, it also lacked the lively atmosphere you might expect from a popular pub. If you're looking for a bustling night out, Monday might not be the best time to visit. Overall, if you enjoy good music and a quiet drink, The Three Sisters on a Monday night could be just what you need. But if you're after a more energetic and social experience, you might want to try visiting on a different night.

I had a single drink in here with a stag-do on a Friday afternoon (around 5-6ish), we were one of the only groups in there - it was a nice place with tables hidden away in little nooks and crannies. The stag decided we'd come back later as apparently it got a bit more lively later in the evening... Wow, they weren't joking. Absolutely thronging and queuing out the door at 9pm. Far too busy for me so I gave it a miss. A few lads still went in and they enjoyed it. Apparently it's full of Uni Students and/or Tourists (no locals). I'm an old age 34 year old and don't want to be fighting to get to the bar or toilet these days xD !

The food, beer, everything is delicious, the prices are affordable and the atmosphere is great. We ate margaritas and hamburgers, they were both very good, we came twice in our 3-day trip, we would go again.

Great night out!! Shame the service was so slow. 30 mins just to get to the bar. Understand when it's busy there be a bit of a wait, but 30 mins, cause the staff behind the bar were so slow and not enough staff for a Saturday night

Great place for outdoor or indoor sitting. Good drinks and nice staff.

Extraordinary atmosphere in a lively setting right in the center of Edinburgh. You absolutely have to have a pint there.

Bar in the vault with beer garden and bands. Very cool

Love coming here everytime I visit Edinburgh. Nice atmosphere and evenly priced drinks and the live music is always good!.

Great food at a great price! Tasty drinks and friendly staff. This was a great stop for us 3 sisters!

It was 3 weeks of celebration with the festival

We called here twice whilst in Edinburgh for the weekend (three couples). Lively place, not a bad place to spend a hour or so.

Average bar for average people. Let me be more specific. Staff were lovely and quick to get orders, so there was nothing wrong with the service. I just felt that the music outside could have been better. I felt like it was just a playlist on Spotify. It was like the DJ wasn't actually DJing. I'm all for some nostalgia and callbacks, but it really could have been mixed up a bit it was on a Sunday, so perhaps that was the vibe, but I just didn't gel with it.

The lady doing the face paint has made my fringe experience the past two years! She’s class and I specifically came back to Three Sisters this year to find her. She’s the best and so talented! Keep bringing her back!

BOOOOO. Terrible service, bartender moving in slow motion. Like bullet time in the matrix but instead of dodging bullets they dodge your drink orders. Plenty other decent bars out there, give it a miss 🥴.

Went during the fringe festival and it is always the first place we go to as there are always good shows on and we weren't disappointed! Always a good vibe there.
