“ We didn't eat but the food looked great ....will definitely return....my friend said best burgers ever !! ”
“ We booked a table for a birthday party for 6. Wonderful friendly staff. Nice decor, a large spacious room upstairs. Squeaky clean and a great selection behind the bar. We didn’t eat so can’t comment on the food. The pub quiz we took part in was fantastic. A true gem of a pub. Five stars from all of us!!! ”
“ A great addition to the Monkey group. Great choice of beers at a decent price, rare nowadays. Great service and cool tunes. ”
“ I've visited here a few times and always enjoy the food, drinks and atmosphere! I had the Sunday roast yesterday which was absolutely delicious! I had the beef which was very tasty and served with an awesome gravy and perfect yorkies. My sister had a veggie option which she said was really good, and different from your usual boring nut roast. My other sister actually said she was obsessed with..the green beans I do agree, they were perfectly cooked and perfectly seasoned. We had a few cocktails, which were all fantastic; my mum being an "old fashioned" aficionado, said it was spot on. High praise indeed! All in all, I've never had anything but good experiences here and highly recommend it for a cosy local pub, nice staff, tasty food and great drinks all served alongside an excellent playlist! ”
“ The staff are friendly and efficient, the food choice is very good. I was in a party of 4, and all of us had different meals, each of which was hot and very tasty. Excellent choice of beers and lagers, including alcohol free. An excellent buzz for atmosphere, the tables are far enough apart, so we could chat comfortably. Children are welcome, and highchairs are available. All in all, we had an excellent Sunday lunch. ”
“ We don't live nearby but would always travel to come to this beaut of a pub. The staff are so friendly, it's spacious, good value (especially the cocktails) and has great food. If you're in Leith I definitely recommend stopping here for a drink and a bite to eat. The nachos are huge and delicious and service is spot on. It has a family and dog friendly vibe and attracts a great mix of locals and visitors. ”
