Latest reviews from Edinburgh

“Quite a small place, far smaller than expected, lower level. Visited early on Saturday and it was packed with two stag parties. The selection was not that big either, typical interior and nothing in the way of surprises on tap. Small can selection. Bit of a more boosting BrewDog it seems, would suggesting picking a different one over this one, DogHouse one was my favorite.“

“Quite an interesting and unique place for sure with its own vibe but I cannot say that I quite grasped the reputation. Quite a mezzanine feel to the place, interior looks like a pub mixed with a 2000s Middle-Eastern restaurant with some plastic bats and wall painting thrown in for good measure. 4 cask and about 16 keg beers, quite an eclectic mix of beers going from their own to Black Isle, Campervan, Thistly Corss, Siren, Northern Monk, Põhjala, traditional mixed with modern, almost randomly, they even had Jupiler 0.0% in bottles, equally odd largely modern craft beer canned selection. Not sure if they follow their muse or just get everything and anything. Definitely interesting things to get but nothing that really struck me as wow they have this. No pints, 1/2 1/3 for all beers, tad more expensive, my IIIPA came in an almost funny sized small glass. Odd but fun for sure even if I didn't quite get the hype.“

“Lovely full traditional corner pub noting two different foundation dates in the decor. Quite an interesting selection of cask including some breweries I didn't see much elsewhere on cask like Brew York, Bellfield, Arbor etc. Loads of whiskey, very busy & popular. Some modern craft even, tile decoration on the floor. Quite crowded, really enjoyed it.“

“Gorgeous old traditional pub with worn down dark wood, red hues, punters glued to chairs, loads of cask in great condition, small, comfy and a good selection of whiskey. The spot in town for cask it seems from what I have visited.“

“Dark navy blue outside, comfy inside with brick, modern wood tables and a restaurant feel. They focus on burgers and wings with vegan options, we didn't eat while here. Okay service. 14 taps which a quite interesting selection, different from other bars. Quite a large number of Newbarns available here, Kernel, Otherworld, Buxton, good condition, tasty nice selection, the place in town to drink Newbarns. Didn't really explore the fridge but can / bottle selection looked smaller than expected.“

“Attached to the BrewDog Hotel (I checked the prices - ouch). Looks like a BrewDog, spacious for sure, wood, neon, brick, metal etc. They have a moving text display boasting about them being carbon neutral which is cringe. Tap selection is about what is standard these days with Arcade Made, Wing man, Black heart, no real surprises but BrewDog is duller and more standard these days. It's a nicely sized BrewDog, space but not silly big. Guests didn't have any surprises either with the likes of Vault City, WHiplash, they did have Still water which I haven't seen in forever. I did dig this BrewDog the most of the ones that I visted on this trip. Good service. We had a portion of Temple of Seitan wings which were tasty for sure. Fun place, fun to stay probably too if you're willing to pay that much.“

“Located on the Royal Mile so touristic for sure. Whiskey is the focus of course and the prices are high naturally as is to be expected. They do advertise, and they do sell craft beer, saw the Ola Dubh series which is definitely interesting, selection seems a bit random and all over the place but there are some canned hazy IPA's even. If urgently in need for something on the Royal Mile, you can pop in here.“

“Corner bar with an astonishing interior. Pure opulence with mahogany, lamps, elaborate ceiling, bar, leather and enough paintings to give the feel of a classical arts museum in a good way, lightning. Amazing to see but so is The Guild ford Arms which does have an impressive beer list, meanwhile here it's uninteresting or macro including ridiculous choices like Corona, Heineken 0% etc. Shame, oyster menu, champagne, fish, seafood, big wine list. A taste of extravagance, not too great with the beer, crazily busy when visited but so was everything else as well.“

“Around the corner from Cafe Royal, this place is breathtaking, the mahogany, the ceiling, the wallpaper, the carpet,the place looks almost more like an opera or the lobby of an extremely posh hotel than a bar, all Victorian. Untappd verified, 10 cask with beers from Campervan, Stewart, Orkney Swannay in great condition. Even more keg beer with the likes of Harviestoun, Moonwake plus macro beers, the cask selection is definetly more interesting, all Scottish, loads of whiskey too. Can get very crowded tough. Friendly service too.“

“Corner building, brick and dark red. Gorgeous Edwardian pub with ceiling painting, mahogany bar in the middle, red leather stools, beautiful tables. Looks amazing, definitely worth seeing for the interior. 6 cask, Orkney, Stewart, Landlord, good condition, nothing too unique but quality still. Taps are Thornbridge, Campervan, macros, nothing too impressive. The interior does a lot and is really worth a stop, Untappd verified.“

“Looks a bit bare bones, BrewDog-esque, dark green walls, some artwork on the walls, slightly lived, Untapped screens. Almost half of the keg beers were gluten free. Modern style craft, carbonation was a bit odd, and I was not hugely convinced but things were okay. Hard to escape the feel of all of this being a bit BrewDog inspired, gluten free stuff is definitely bit of a different take. Still not a clear personal vibe, flights available. Centrally located, decent but not awesome.“

“Lovely traditional pub with lots of flags and wood, comfy seating, good atmosphere and very popular and full. 5 cask beers with two of them rotating in lovely condition from the likes of Moonwake and Fyne Ales. Keg is slightly more macro but a few from locals too. Big list of whiskeys too. Vegetarian and vegan food available, tried the vegan haggis, neeps & tatties which was lovely, partner had a vegan hot dog which was big and impressive, friend tried the cheese platter and loved it. Quick service. Definitely recommended for a bite and a drink.“

“Wee indeed, basically only a counter on the side to sit at. Yet still almost 25 taps, large part Vault City beers, bit pricier and smaller pours but understandable so. They even do tabs here. Beers are every kind of candy flavored kettle sour imaginable but fun to try and tasty. Guest taps included surprisingly a number of Jester King beers plus some Verdant. Okay service. Getting a place here is not a given since people do definitely visit. There's a fridge too with a big selection of their own beers of which a large number is on tap too. Jester King, Full Circle, 3 Fonteinen and for some weird reason Struise too. Card only, Untappd verified.“

“I cannot say that I quite get the low score on here but I did find this bar to be quite on a Thursday afternoon which helped a lot probably. Very close to the Haymarket station with departure times shown on a screen inside. 150+ year old with gorgeous spacious long interior, building is clearly much older than the surrounding buildings. Lots of wood, wallpaper, red leather, couches, old clock etc. The kegs are largely macro (about 10 of them) and not too interesting but there are about half a dozen cask beers. The cask included Thornbridge Green Mountain. Also the likes of Thisley Cross, Campervan, could be a touch more adventurous. Solid condition, friendly service, decent prices. Great of feel of history here. Untappd verified interestingly.“

“Review for online store. An extensive and excellent range of beverages of all kinds. It's my go to online store for Scottish beers, there are often new & interesting breweries to go at. Spend £85 for free online delivery. Swift service, well packed boxes. Recommended.“

“Visited August 2023. Very crowded bar, convenient located near our apartment. Crowded with football fans waiting for their train. Security guards around the place. Beer list was just OK. Cozy traditional pub. Next one please!“

“Excellent free-house on the eastern end of Princes Street. Cracking heritage interior which is worth a look in itself. Around 20 beers pouring (60/40 cask/keg), all from Scottish breweries. The food was pretty decent too. A whole variety of service experiences over multiple visits one weekend.“

“Large beerhall type place on two levels near Waverley Station.As another rater suggests this place is a bit of a tourist trap. Around 20 taps including some 'tankbeer' options. But it's expensive and a bit soulless. OK for stag / hen parties maybe but it's a long way from a tickers paradise.“

“Visited July 2023. Extremely tiny place with just 10 or 12 chairs around the wall. 24 taps (mainly Vault City but some guests available). Do flights. Very friendly service. The only problem is that it could be overcrowded and you will not find any space...but you can always book a "table" in advance. Next one please!“

“Visited July 2023. Poor selection from macro breweries (Greene King, Innis & Gunn, Belhaven...) with just a couple of micro (William Brothers and Black Sheep). Will not come back. Next one please!“

“Sadly not what it was beerwise, used to be one of the best in the country but lately seems to have quite a few empty taps and those that aren't empty don't have the exciting beers they once did. Still a nice place to hang out for an hour, but doesn't have the beers to keep one occupied for an afternoon any more“

“Pretty typical Brewdog but with some nice booths and outdoor patio. Several good guest offerings along with standard Brewdog fare. So many other fantastic craft places in Edinburgh that this Brewdog maybe be low on the must hit list. But still worth a visit if in the location to grab a burger with beer.“
