Waterloo bar Edinburgh in Edinburgh, City of

turned a way because we had an under 18 with us , but there was other under 18s in the bar no signs saying no under 18s. seem like the owner picks who can and cant enter based on the colour of there skin.

Went in for a pint whilst waiting for my bus only to be chased out by the Chinese waiter who seemed keen to maintain his 100% Chinese guests. Made me most unwelcome and feel like an alien in my own country! Unless you are Chinese, you may expect a similar experience. To the owner, if you want to have a private function for Chinese visitors, do the decent thing and put a notice up to warn guests rather than berating locals in such a discriminatory and derogatory manner.

The bar stunk of sewers! Freezing cold. No atmosphere at all. Pretty miserable place for east end of Princes street. Especially s near Christmas.

My daughter & I went in to the pub. Before we sat down we went to use the toilet as we both had bursting bladders. There was a sign saying "customers only" but we couldn't wait until we ordered & went in. When we came out this man raced over to us & started ranting/raving that we couldn't use the toilet it was for customers only. I explained that I needed to relieve myself before I could look at ordering but he continued to berate us. I then said since we didn't feel welcomed we would just leave & he told us to go. As we left he continued yelling at us that he couldn't afford toilet paper for his paying customers. TIP: if you are struggling financially don't send potential customers packing!!!

PLEASE DON’T GIVE THIS OWNER YOUR MONEY FOR WATERED DOWN DRINKS AND SPIRITS THAT TASTE NOTHING LIKE THE ORIGINAL AND LABEL.

Absolutely recommend it is such a lovely little place the menu is fab the food is very tasty and the staff were so welcoming and friendly.A lot of thought has gone into this cafe bistro and it was really appreciated

For a pub in such a great location it was very disappointing. Limited range of drinks, disinterested barman and zero atmosphere.

El tipo de pub donde no hay amor ni por los locales, ni por la clientela. Me recordó mucho a los bares locales que solía frecuentar como estudiante a principios de los 80 en Sheffield. ¡Pero esto era Edimburgo, justo al lado de Princes Street, y estamos en 2021!Cerveza McEwans, no cerveza de verdad o cervezas artesanales, vodka de Glen (la única opción para los bebedores de vodka más exigentes), 'inodoros solo para clientes', 'solo efectivo, disculpen las molestias' (¡hola señor Taxman!) Y una clientela compuesta casi exclusivamente de turistas que claramente habían reservado Edimburgo para una mejor experiencia. Sin embargo, podría obtener un pastel redondo, no definido, por una libra.

Bonito y pequeño pub al lado del Hotel Apex - - y conectado a Noodle House por una escalera. Estoy bastante seguro de que no se ha actualizado en 100 años y tiene la autenticidad que uno desea cuando viaja a Escocia. Tuvimos un par de pintas y compartimos una sopa del día y un pescado y papas fritas que salieron de la cocina de la casa de fideos y estaba delicioso. Nos detendríamos de nuevo si alguna vez estamos en el vecindario.

Solo tomamos unos Tragos. muy tranquilo, buena atencion, pequeño, acogedor. Un lugar para relajarce y tomar unos tragos.

Pub sans ambiance tenu par le resto chinois d'à côté. Pour rester à l'abri en cas de pluie mais rien de plus.

not a lot to say just in for drink while waiting for lift home very old but friendly bar prices not to bad shame not more people in

Este es un pequeño bar justo en el extremo este de Princes Street y parece ser propiedad y está operado por el restaurante chino de al lado. Se ha diseñado para que se vea como un antiguo pub de Edimburgo, pero creo que el espacio fue una vez una sala de la templanza. Llamamos a las 7. 00:00 pm el jueves por la noche y somos los únicos clientes aparte de otro anciano. Barmaid era una niña china y la pizarra que mostraba la comida del bar mostraba principalmente bocadillos chinos, de ahí mi suposición de que el bar y el restaurante vecino estaban conectados. Es un pub pequeño bastante decente pero totalmente desprovisto de cualquier ambiente durante nuestra visita. Los precios eran muy baratos para el centro de la ciudad con una ginebra y un tónico más una copa de vino que solo cuesta 7. 00. No deseo hacer una segunda visita, sin embargo, ni siquiera a esos precios baratos.

We have rounded of our evenings out in the Waterloo Bar a few times. By Edinburgh standards the prices are very reasonable, Its always a lively place with friend clientele. Could do with a cask beet option but otherwise its a great pub.

Viajamos a Edimburgo en tren y llamamos aquí de camino al hotel, muy cerca de la estación.El pub en sí es pequeño, pero amigable y parece que es propiedad conjunta del restaurante chino de al lado. Cerveza decente en un entorno agradable, no es un mal lugar para tomar una copa tranquila.Volveríamos sí, pero no lo hicimos ya que no pudimos volver a encajar durante nuestra visita de dos días a Edimburgo.

Definitely a place for the tourist looking for a quick pit stop - but this small, cosy pub serves nice hot chocolate and is well located for key sights in Edinburgh. Also serves Chinese food.

Ordenó el pescado y las papas fritas, el pescado tenía un sabor viejo y la carne era más gelatinosa que el pescado blanco escamoso. Bartender insistió en que el pescado era normal. Las patatas fritas estaban bien.Bartender también se quejó de pedir una cerveza que no había probado antes. Indicar "No puedo darlo todo gratis". Es un penique o dos a lo sumo para un par de ml de cerveza para probar. No lo recomendaría.

Sur Princes Street, ce bar avec une offre simple de plats qui accompagnant une sélection plus importante de bières se présente comme un local assez simple, avec seulement quelques petites tables sur lesquelles les clients doivent s’asseoir pour consommer leurs plats.

I went in for a pint for the first time here. I liked the decor which is basic but with a proper pub feel to it which I'm fine with. Within 20 minutes of sitting down I saw 3 individual wee mice running about. I get that it's an old building with gaps in the floor and walls but that shouldn't be happening somewhere that serves food and drink. I just had the one.

Satuimme poikkeamaan juuri lähtöä edeltävänä iltana illan viimeisille tähän pubiin. Viereisessä pöydässä vanhempi herraporukka viritteli kitaraa ja saimmekin nauttia juomamme musiikin tahdissa. Herrat lauloivat kitaran säestyksellä perinteisiä lauluja (meille vieraita), mutta niitä oli oikein mukava kuunnella. Tämä viihtyistä paikka sijaitsee juuri isojen ihmisvirtojen kulkereittien sivussa, joten täällä saa nauttia juomansa rauhassa ja jutella paikallisten kanssa. Mysö hintataso oli oikein kohdallaan.

Took some time to enjoy this pub before returning to our nearby hotel. Had some good appetizers and a drink while watching the locals come and go.

No estoy escribiendo malos comentarios si no me siento muy distante. Sólo pop en para refrescarme con pinta de cerveza. En primer lugar decidí usar el inodoro. El chico que estaba sirviendo en el bar empezó a gritar a mí que si no soy cliente no la puedo usar. Le expliqué que soy un cliente, pero me gustaría usar el baño primero. Entiendo las normas de casa, pero en ese tipo de negocios agradable a los clientes enfoque es crucial. Gran no no

Creo que esto tiene más que ver con los lugareños y los músicos que estaban allí cuando llegamos tarde después de la recepción de una boda. La novia y el novio querían música de pub en vivo, que es lo que obtuvimos. Gracias a The barba and the druid por tu elección de canciones y por lo que es tan personal. Definitivamente llamará cuando esté en Edimburgo. X

After dinner upstairs in Hongfu we thought we heard karaoke. We entered and saw three gentlemen playing folk music. They told us tales and played music for hours. Lovely group and I made new friends

drinks are really reasonable seats outside, nothing flash but good service, handy for hotel the toilets were very clean and the barman was very polite

Durante su estancia en el Travelodge Waterloo Place, nos metimos en el bar de Waterloo para tomar un trago en una noche de viernes. Había música folklórica tradicional, entiendo que es una ranura regular los viernes y sábados. Montón de chicos jugando música realmente genial, disfrutamos de la noche, y 1 copa rápida se convirtió en más de 3 o 4!

I visited Elliots Bar on two occasions during our stay and there is a large selection of drinks available. I normally drink Deuchars Indian Pale Ale which is brewed in Edinburgh, but it isn't available in the Bar. The Bar staff are very helpful though and offered to let me try some of the available draft beers and ales. I tried Caledonia 360 for the first time and it was excellent.

great little bar near the hotel a pit stop for a drink before dinner and also very handy for a nightcap.very small but staff really friendly.

Almost next door to the Waterloo Travelodge where we were staying, quirky little pub that is part of the same building as the hotel & serves a good variety of beers & whiskies as well as light bites, not many seats so gets full quickly, looks as if it’s been around for a while though, the barman/owner is quick to clear away empties & reposition the seats. Nice pub but really like the feel of the Grassmarket and Royal Mile better as the pubs have been around for many years & have some stunning architecture & the ceilings are beautiful, so be sure to look up as you drink your pint!

Walking passed & fancied a pint. McEwans 80/- was excellent. Not a lively bar (no music), was pretty quite but interesting old fashioned “pub” Worth a visit for the beer!

My husband and I stumbled across this car after having a meal and going for a wonder, (on the 28th ) and I can honestly say the guys that egtertained us with their songs and guitar paying were brilliant, they made us feel welcome, John and his side kick Roger had us laughing all night , but I must say Alan had an amazing voice. I am not sure of the other guys name but he could play that penny whistle. If we come back to edinburgh we will definitely visit again .

we popped in here as we were running late for the theatre. I asked if they served food but was told they only done snacks, I ordered soup with bread and two bowls of chips, soup and chips arrived at the same time with no bread,,, when I enquired about the bread I was told the did not serve it with chips ,,, I pointed out the bread was supposed to come with the soup ,,,, he mumbled something to me ,,, 10 minutes later I was presented with toast which I left, when he came to clear the plates he asked "why I never ate the toast ?" ,,, I pointed out it should have been bread !! he then told me the bread was stale ... YES that is what he said ,,, I made him repeat it ,, The BREAD WAS STALE !! ,,, he still never seen through what he was saying !!

Great atmosphere; a traditional old Scottish bar filled with local musicians dropping in to play traditional Scottish folk music

Lo único bueno de este bar es cómo se ve por dentro. El servicio es terrible, la cerveza es tan mal que lo dejamos y salimos. Ahorre tiempo y dinero, simplemente mantener y encontrar otro bar. Me pareció que estos días no se puede encontrar...

Nos sentamos en el sol ha ing una bebida y fui a usar el baño y el camarero del bar de enfrente me gritó que no podía hacer uso de las instalaciones. Pregunté por qué ya que había estado fuera tomando una copa y él...

Sehr nette kleine Bar mit roten Ledersitzen und altem Holz, die von freundlichen Besitzern betrieben wird. Auch die Snacks waren ob, wie mir die zufriedenen Tischnachbarn berichteten.

Agradable lugar y muy amable. Yo que estaba sirviendo en el bar era muy agradable y servicial. Nada era un problema nuevo. Está enfrente de las principales paradas de autobús y a 2 minutos a pie de la estación de tren. Por lo tanto ideal.

Quaint little pub in the heart od Edinburgh but reall funny is they are Chinese behind the bar which adds a little quirkyness

What a pleasant surprise to find such a nice wee Scottish pub after a lovely meal at the restaurant on the second floor . Very nicely decorated interior , which brings back nostalgic feeling to it . Well done ! and , cheap drinks too !!

Got lucky in that 10 of us went in here to have a drink and a sing song and there was 3 native folk singers with guitars already there. We didn't eat but made up for it in pints of Guinness and a great night had by all. great rappor between Irish and Scots.

Only popped in for a quick drink on our way to the new year celebrations as my missus needed to use the toilet. When our drinks came in dirty plastic containers slightly resembling glasses we left sharpish. The toilets were also shocking. No shortage of pubs in this area so go somewhere else.

very old fashioned, with small stools or chairs around tables, and the bar at one end but with shelves of books, mirrors, and other old fashioned items around. ( Tv up on wall in one corner ). Bartender seemed to be also serving in the Chinese takeaway next door ( but I may be mistaken with that ) - they also offered sandwiches and toasties and such like according to the notice board but just stopped here for a sit down and a drink. It was not very busy when we popped in but was still early evening mid week, there are other pubs and hotels round about to choose from it all depends what you are looking for - not a trendy wine bar, but still had a selection of drinks and had a rural charm in the busy city centre.

Popped in as it looked inviting from the outside. Nice wooden interior. Quite busy, so a nice atmosphere. Only had a drink, but very pleasant.

Pub minúsculo com boa cerveja, o fish em chips foi razoável. O pub tem ao lado um restaurante de comida oriental que é do mesmo dono, a comida vem de lá.

I stopped here for a beer after work the bar was clean and well presented the staff were ok and there was a live band playing which were ok

Its very nice place to enjoy and it has all varieties of drinks, we all went for the party and went well. We celebrated one good event here.

Found it by accident on the way to our hotel. It's a small local, with a good selection of beers and good service. There was live music there courtesy of a number of locals and we all joined in. Great night was had.We didn't have food there, so I can't comment on the food available.

We stumbled across this small bar . There were a few locals playing guitars & singing local & well known oldies. Great characters drink here who were very friendly. The bar had a great atmosphere. Felt like a step back in time. Ok prices for a city pub. We liked it so much we went back the next morning for a couple of drinks before a wedding just down the road. Don't visit here if you are looking for class but definitely visit if you are looking for a real taste of Edinburgh.

Probably the smallest pub I've visited, very quaint.Service was speedy and staff pleasant.Great pint of McEwans 80/-, really decent glass of Merlot.Can't wait to visit again

能吃肯德基就别吃这家。台湾牛肉面2分钟就做好，放了很多生抽，颜色很深，味道太重。不好，不会再来。中国人自己把中餐搞坏了。

Surly service, fish and chips truly awful, fish was almost raw,staff disappeared and i was unable to return meal easily, but yes a good place to wait for a bus!

Bra priser och väldigt god mat. Personalen var jättetrevlig. Stället är väldigt litet men helt ok. Mysigt inuti. Utanför är inte lika mysigt eftersom det ligger precis vid en stor bullrig gata men helt ok för en liten paus.

wee bar with an old fashioned atmosphere , we had a sing along here and swapped stories of Scotland good and bad .. a good night and prices were fair for Edinburgh city centre

Wished we'd carried on walking past this pub, very dated and the beer was awful! Three attempts to get a pint that didn't smell of egg or have bits floating around in it!! If you visit this pub don't order a kronenbourg!!

After the tourist traps ( and over pricing ) of the royal mile & or rose St it was a rear pleasure to find this proper pub. Small but real

A900とA1の交差点に有るパブです。カールトンヒルから坂を下った所にあります。一応中華料理という事で幾つか頼みましたが残念です。またビールの種類も少なく場所が良いだけにこれも残念です。

Popped in for a couple of drinks before having Sunday lunch. Close to the hustle and bustle of Princes Street, this small pub was an oasis of peace and quiet. Very plain and old fashioned decor and fittings add to the atmosphere. Prices were reasonable but choice of drinks limited eg the only had one brand of gin. Was an ok experience. Service and welcome were both good

What a great atmosphere this little bar has considering it's part of the Apex Waterloo Hotel.The range of beverage is very good as are the bar food and snacks. A nice range of whisky too.Staff very helpful and attentive.

My friend was desperate for fish and chips and staying a few doors down we popped into the waterloo bar. Wish we hadn't. Was tiny and the only other food on offer was a toastie. Wasn't till after my friend had ordered and money taken that the lady behind the bar announced that they were sold out of toasties and refused a refund. I ended up getting a sandwich next door and was reluctantly allowed to sit outside with my friend to eat. Thank goodness it wasn't raining. My friend said her fish and chips were good hence 2* rather than one. I wouldn't recommend this as a place to eat. Look elsewhere!!!

This place is very very very dated. Half of the drinks weren't available as the pumps were either not working from being too old or out of action. Te service too wasn't too much to shout about and the place was cash only. In the centre of Edinburgh in today's world it's just not acceptable.

Looking from the outside this place looks... Well, not so interesting! But I went inside and had a beer, soon after a man arrived with a guitar and was very chatty! (They were all chatty!) A big thank you to Alan for making my first night in Edinburgh special :) And thank you for the YES badge ;)If you pass this bar, give it a chance.

If you want a pub that not to busy but close to town then this for you.Good prices & a good atmosphere.Folk singer on a Saturday night who's good but most of his time finding out where you come from.

We wandered in and found a half dozen locals jamming and singing folk songs. We spent a top night listening and singing along to some great music. If you strike it lucky and the musos have decided to have a session it's well worth being there

The bar is located off the lobby in a very large, rather sparsely furnished room. There was a very limited wind menu and when I decided to have a Cosmopolitan, it too was unremarkable.

We stopped hear on the way back to the hotel for a quick drink it is small but lively . It was so much fun singing along with the locals . Their is a few car actors .it is a must and the gin,s not bad.

Nice people, relaxed atmosphere, good beers on tap. If you are staying at the hotel, you can purchase a bottle of wine to take to your room complete with an ice bucket and glasses.

Not a big bar but friendly & worth a visit. One man sings & plays guitar. And his banter is good Food is available at reasonable rates. Drinks are cheaper than streets off princess street. Welcoming bar persons

Had one-1/2 hours to wait for our bus so we walked across the road to the Waterloo Bar and enjoyed the two Guinness while waiting. Wonderful bar keep. Very understanding and helpful with Americans who can't convert pounds to dollars and back. Needless to say the Guinness was great and the service was wonderful. Certainly would recommend it for a Guinness.

Un po' per caso sono capitata in questo piccolo pub insieme al mio ragazzo..la nostra prima sera a Edimburgo abbiamo scelto di affidarci al caso e così, con due birre e un chicken&chips per me e un fish&chips per lui ci siamo goduti la cena attorniati da libri e bottigliette di wisky e liquori di ogni tipo. prezzi economici e, nonostante i gestori fossero cinesi, qualità del cibo buona. Per chi fosse in zona calton Hill e con poche pretese ma una buona atmosfera, consigliato!

found this bar by chance as our coach dropped us off outside. the chips were good and the beer was well kept. unusual table set up down two sides with an assortment of dining chairs. the chinese lady was very nice and kept the place and the toilets spotless.

This is a nice quiet place to relax over a pint at the end of a busy day. The prices are good and the bartender quite personable. I am sorry to say the fish and chips were terrible. I didn't try the Chinese food, maybe that is better.

In Edinburgh for the festival found this bar/Chinese restaurant by chance. We just went in for a drink much cheaper than all the other bars we had been in and then to add to the night free entertainment fom Alan Hunter addded to the whole experience. Not the Ritz or even close but well worth a visit
