   A wide selection of beer taps and a great pop up food menu. We were there for the subs and salads, had great chicken wings. The Guinness was poured well!

   Decent pub and a very large beer garden, a rarity in the area. Although the sun doesn't catch it for enough hours! Decent priced pints and a good selection of beers. FYI, bar service charged when ordered to tables. Overall, the staff are very friendly and accommodating. Would recommend booking for beer garden and weekends.

   I cannot believe this place passed under my radar for so long! I walk in and there’s a delightful regular at the bar with his adorable dog, which is immediately a good sign. The atmosphere is playful and comfortable with lots of colour, small lights, and a kind of updated retro style. The staff were polite and attentive, with warm smiles all around. Their outdoor garden felt wonderfully secluded and decked out with comfy cushions and greenery. There was even a cat hanging about! The whole vibe felt very relaxed and enjoyable. I was so impressed with the place I forgot to take many photos but I will definitely be back to remedy that — looking to make it my local now!

   Elite Drinks & A Moody, Gorgeous Spot! I had an Chocolate Chili Espresso—easily a 10/10! The subtle heat from the chili balanced beautifully with the bitterness of the espresso and the richness of the chocolate. Not too sweet, just perfect! I’m honestly coming back just for this. Of course, I couldn’t stop at one, so I also tried a Spicy Margarita, and it was delish—easy to drink, with the perfect balance of spice and tang! My partner went for an Innis & Gunn Lager, a classic choice that never disappoints. Since it was Friday Eve and getting a bit lively, we grabbed some food to take away: • Bang Bang Chicken Sandwich (£13) – 4/10 The mango chutney and shredded cos made it a bit too sweet for my liking, though the fried buttermilk chicken itself was really good! • Spice Bag with Pulled Korean Ribs (£12) – 9/10 Pulled pork ribs, fries, Korean BBQ sauce, and pickled chillies—loved this! The flavors were spot on, but the paper bag made it a bit soggy by the time we got home. We’ll definitely be back for the drinks! The staff was lovely, and the whole place had such a moody, gorgeous vibe. Can’t wait to visit again!

   Officially my favourite pub now. Staff make all the difference; they are welcoming, lovely and friendly. Staff helped my mum with her shopping bag and offered us a table when one was available (we were happy to drink at the bar). Atmosphere is lovely and welcoming. Drinks were delicious

   I came here solo for a drink and dinner and ended up being seated at the bar. The bar itself is a little awkward it sit at, because it's shallow and no good place to situate my leg. However Blair the bartender was excellent. He introduced me to three local gins that were delicious, and was very knowledgeable and friendly. He made my solo dinner enjoyable. Plus the rice bowl was phenomenal.... The pork perfectly crispy and fantastic blend of flavours. Def recommend this place if in Edinburgh!

   My partner and I have been here twice in the last few weeks, and it was fantastic on both occasions! Hannah served us the 2nd time, and she was absolutely lovely. Love their approach to sustainability with local / seasonal garnishes too. The wings, burgers & cocktails were amazing!

   The food was acceptable, but didn't really offer value for money. My chicken burger was a little on the dry side and it lacked enough of the pineapple dressing. Fries were bog standard frozen ones. Ordered a second drink before food arrived and didn't get it until we'd nearly finished our food. Service was very good, however.

   We arrived without a reservation to a busy restaurant but the staff managed to make room for us. We ordered a cocktail and a burger each. I ordered the the made in Japan cocktail, which had a nice citrus flavour but lacked in whisky for my taste. My girlfriend ordered a raspberry and ginger beer mocktail which had a sharp initial taste and a sweet ginger beer finish. The chicken burger was okay, a little dry and not very crispy, but the beef burger was absolutely delicious. The meal and drinks were more expensive than I'd have liked for their quality, but it was a good time and it's a lovely place worth spending an hour enjoying the food and drink.
