1. P.P.P _ ★☆☆☆☆

   Please be very cautious if you are a woman attending this place. A random man claiming to be a "manager" approached us at our table 20 mins after arriving, asked to check my ID (I'm used to it as I'm young looking) then snatched it out my hand and took a photo of it containing my full name, date of birth and address - at which point i shouted at him not to photograph my ID and asked him why he was doing that as I grabbed it back. He did not reply and slithered away. Bouncers tried to calm me down but as my safety was compromised I left. Reported to the police as instructed by the ICO. Formal complaint sent to the "manager" of this dive and I will be following up with ICO if their response is unsatisfactory or they fail to respond. Reported the predatory staff behaviour to the licensing board.

   A friend of mine was shoved by a member of staff, no actions were taken against the member of staff, however, the group of us that were there were kicked out. Displaying a lack of care for the customer experience.

   sexist & misgoynist!! i was not allowed in because of my skirt? i'm sorry is it 1954??? i asked the bouncer why and he said it's just the rules?? shocking that he doesn't have an explanation for sexist & discriminatory policies... this is genuinely insane

   Dangerously busy - neglectful staff and bouncers. I went inside and was immediately met with a scrum, you literally couldn’t move and there was no way out. The bouncers let in way way too many people it’s genuinely dangerous.

   This is one of the best night spots in Edinburgh. A must during the festival.

   Great crew inside. All friendly and lovely chat. Bouncers friendly and helpful trained with first aid which plastered me up after I cut my fingers. Great place

   Absolutley packed to the brim with sweaty bodies about ye, garis specials are not as a strong as back in its hayday of 2019, and the bouncer called me a mongrel cause I asked him how his night was going. -5/10 mate

   Decent. Pretty small inside, but decent music good atmosphere, quick service at the bar and friendly. Got a shot and knocked it over on the bar, probably partly my fault, but guy server another. Bouncers might need a pair of glasses when it comes to looking at id pics...

   Visited on a busy Saturday night,£5 entry. The two bouncers, who strongly resembled The Mitchell brothers, were firm but fair. Inside is your standard dive bar but the atmosphere was what really set it apart. Great chart music and a young crowd. Drinks were averagely priced. The staff were competent and fast.
