The Polwarth Tavern Bar, Pub in Edinburgh

Reviews

1. Randolph Carter ★★★★☆

   This is now our local pub so we decided to visit it on a Friday evening after a local concert had finished. The welcome was warm from staff and customers alike and the place was buzzing. When my wife asked for a Whiskey the barman told her that they only serve doubles - luckily not a problem for my wife that night! There are TV screens that show sports and the food looked tempting (sandwiches, burgers, chips, that kind of thing).

   An absolute must-stop while in Edinburgh! If King of Feasts is in the kitchen, you'll be treated to some crazy good sandwiches for a solid price. The menu changes regularly, but the aubergine katsu sandwich I had was truly unique, and all the other choices looked pretty special too. Even if you're just heading in for a pint, the welcoming atmosphere will make for a good time and you'll be sure to enjoy yourself. Don't miss out!

   My wife and I visited here to try King of Feasts sandwiches. We had high hopes as I had heard good things. The pub was reasonably busy but we got a table easy enough. The menu is small which is a good thing for me because I am indecisive. I went with the sausage sandwich and my wife went with the chicken and we got a side of fries to share. We ordered at the bar and the guy was nice enough. Thankfully the football was on because we had to wait ages for our grub. I know it’s only a one man team and I often appreciate the food taking a little longer but this a bit too long. I didn’t take an accurate time of how long it took but it was around 30 mins (maybe longer) which was disappointing. There was only 1 other table that had ordered food, and it’s sandwiches, nothing extravagant. Excessive in my book but maybe if I wasn’t sober it wouldn’t have bothered me so much. The food itself was decent. Nice buns which contained the food well and good flavour in both. I liked mines which was super cheesy but the chicken was definitely tastier. The chips were fine, just too salty. There was a pile of salt at the bottom of the basket which was an indication of over doing it. Overall, food didn’t blow our socks off but it was good. A little pricy, especially considering how long we had to wait for it. We may come again and try something else next time because some of the nosh looks bangin’ on his insta!

   Good pub with good barmen and good chat. Appart from the one person who tried to claim that soda water was tonic water.... it was fixed quickly once I pointed it out

   Great to see the Tavern is still a good place to for a few beers, post shift pints we're good, nice World Cup atmosphere and good tunes playing too.

   Great beer selection. Nice airy pub and friendly staff. Would return if I was in the neighbourhood. Only there for a Christmas night out.
