N. v. D.

Friendly service. Nicely chilled IPA on tap. Chicken burger was outstanding. Everything very fresh and most importantly, cooked to order. Highly recommended.

A. M.

Great authentic english pub with good food and a variety of meals. Prices are reasonable and portions are fair. Range of salads and western food. Staff are nice and friendly. Close walk to Hyde park and near sydney city offices perfect for team lunch or drinks afterwork. Online order option via an app made it alot easier and quicker.

S. N.

One of the last old-school style pubs in the CBD. Been coming here for 15 years and it always has a welcoming feel. The menu has steadily improved over the years with a mix of classic Aussie pub meals like burgers and schnitzel as well as more modern options. Tap beers are cold and fresh making this a great spot for a weekday lunch or to catch up for drinks after work. Only 2 minutes from Town Hall station.

J. H.

An old renovated pub near Town Hall. Wide open floor w/ variety of chairs. Large cinema size screen for sports. Tab machine. Toilets w/ smelly urinal & Pokies down stairs. Happy Hour 4-6 pm $5. Bottle shop at bar. Decent food menu.

J. G.

Best pub in the city 5 star food and amazing service. The staff here are outstanding, highly recommend!

A. W.

nice place for dinner or a drink. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. the dinner was very good. I also needed to top up the phone and it was an option. we will definitely visit this place for sure.

M. W.

Old school charm. Friendly staff. Good food. A pub that knows it's a pub and not a mini casino.

T. M.

We went here for a stop in between escape rooms during lunch on a Saturday. The atmosphere was plesant, matching the customer service. It seemed to be in a nice centralised location and there was plenty of seating at the time

V.

First time being here and my first venue since sydney lockdown ended. Friendly and attentive staff, great atmosphere and great food. Would definitely come back again!

P. M.

My local pub when I stay in Sydney, great location and ambiance. Cold beer and good honest pub meals. Music and live bands there on different nights of the week. Great picture windows overlooking the spectacle of Pitt and Bathurst Streets

D. K.

Also known as the firemans hotel, this has become the replacement for most who used to visit The Windsor on the Park. Food upstairs is good and typically priced for a pub bistro. (It can get cramped now because there aren't many Friday pub lunch spots anymore) The beers on tap downstairs are usually pretty good and they will give you a Pint instead of a schooner if you ask. Wine list needs a bit of work. The TAB and Sportsbar are downstairs which Toilets need a revamp.

N. P.

Cracking traditional pub, friendly staff, great food all year round. Love this place

L. C.

Celebrating my friend's birthday here at The Edinburgh Castle and Ryan was super friendly and accommodative!! Thank you!

M. J.

Stopped in for lunch with the family and we all were very happy. It is a pub with a lot of character and history, but also has great service and reasonably priced food. Staff in particular were really attentive and helpful. Is good to be able to come in and help these sorts of businesses struggling with the govt covid restrictions.

N. C.

Awesome friendly staff, loud boisterous after work crowd. Thoroughly enjoyed the Tommy Tulip cocktail.

A. P.

Nice bar in the CBD, good selection of beer.

G. H.

Solid venue for pub grub with a wide selection of taps. Service is always efficient and food served quickly.

菜.

Was expected the steak, but the wait is not pleasant...almost 30 minutes to serve a steak? While most ppl were only having drinks but meals....the steak is OK, fries are plain....won’t come again

A. T.

By far the best arancini balls I have ever had. Also the beer is fab and the atmosphere is amazing. 10/10, will be back.

A. F.

It's a good venue, the chicken parmigiana was pretty good and they had a good selection of menu choices available. I went for a Harry Potter trivia and the only thing I would suggest is with the themed drinks, having a non alcoholic version of them.

S. W.

Some people will knock this place, maybe because it's a very tiny bit rough and ready, but if you are someone who is looking for a nice cold pint of craft beer and a screen to watch sports in the city centre, then try this place out. Steadily busy, but if you get in early evening you'll generally find a seat, unless it's Friday when it's choc full of friendly tradies. Reasonably cheap prices ($11 or so for a pint of Pirate Life IPA), nice staff. Pub food, pokies.

A. V.

There is nothing else to say about this place. Like a pub described over the phone to a builder.

B. O.

Good place they let me vomit into a cup for like an hour. Food, drinks, and service is overall great. Down side are the stairs, then again nowhere is perfect.

M. S.

I've been coming to the Edinburgh Castle for years- it has a real local vibe and friendliness to it. In recent years its been revamped but has maintained its authentic pub feel. The only thing it needs is slightly better air con in summer but that never stopped us coming in for our Friday drinks!

A.

Friendly staff, quick services, food is good.

M. S.

Great friendly service, wonder and beautifully cooked good, the specials are always outstanding. And worth a try.

J. L.

Best food of any pub in the area. Big screen for sport and other screens for racing. Does get busy but you can see why

p. c.

Classic Pub with a modern touch, great atmosphere, and catering to young and old. A fair range of beers on tap.

C. M. A.

One of my friends favourite joints, it is definitely one of the better pubs in Sydney CBD. Comfortable atmosphere and a minimal amount of douchebags frequent it.

J. L.

Nice atmosphere upstairs. Very traditional pub food, not a lot of healthy options though. But great place for a drink after work.

J. B.

Great beer selection. Young Henry's brewery has a big presence in this pub. Food was really tasty although the portions of chips on the side was a bit small for the price. Saw some other dishes come out and they looked more substantial. There was a good relaxed but busy vibe for a Friday lunch. The chefs were doing a great job of staying on top of the orders. The food came out fairly quickly. It's a well presented, clean pub in the city. Much better than most of the competition in a 2 block radius. Staff were friendly and approachable. Will be going back again 👍

T. K.

The licensee is really, really hot. Can't keep my eyes off him. Great food and drink also. Mostly inti the licensee though 😍

R. a. N. T.

A great Aussie pub. The beer was reasonably priced and the food specials we great. I had a rump steak and a couple of beers, delicious! Definitely recommended if you are in Sydney. Very nice staff.

S. R.

Food was good and the service was great although I was slightly disappointed that there wasn't any mid-strength beer on tap. I suppose there's not enough demand for it in the CBD.

T. K.

A special discount on a different dish each day of the week! Good atmosphere

D. S.

Decent pub in the city. A bit noisy and the cleaner they're using in Covid times smelled a but like urinal cakes, but the food was excellent, drinks reasonably priced and service very good.

D. W.

Decent pub in the middle of the city. Food isn’t cheap but it’s tasty, fresh and generous - the kind of pub grub you’d hope for. I had the beef burger, definitely a good choice. Plenty of seating available for a lunchtime meal. Nice decor, friendly service. 👍

L.

Great staff. Perfect location, minutes from the QVB, Town Hall train station. Very reasonably priced food. The only reason it's not 5/5 is due to the toilets being down a steep long staircase, for women. Three of the women sitting next to us had to go elsewhere as they couldn't make it down there with their knees and hips. Bit sad, although I appreciate that they were likely limited in where they could put the plumbing/space for a toilet etc.

S. D.

Love this spot, a hidden gem. We got there for Happy hour so 5 dollar drinks. The lanterns outside give the bar a cosy feel during winter months. So close town hall station and Elizabeth Street. Staff were lovely, would definitely recommend for an after dinner drink

C. F.

My favourite pub in the CBD. Good selection of beers on tap. Nice little terrace upstairs. Wooden bar and mosaic tile floors downstairs and an awesome Art Deco lounge upstairs.

C. F.

Nice atmosphere, bartender helpful at choosing good beers. Might be nice if there was a sign telling patrons to order at the bar. We waited for a couple of minutes before we realized this. Our first day in town. Otherwise excellent.

M. J.

Not fancy, but a good selection of beers. A good place to meet before moving on. I'm not a fan a big screens in old pubs, but I get that other folk like sport a lot.

P. H.

Great bar for a few! Chicken Schnitty was thin and dry for $22 but what can you expect from a old school CBD pub.

K. C.

Went for drinks after work. Good range of craft beers and staff was very courteous. We didn't eat anything so cannot comment on food quality. It does get busy from 5-7pm Definitely recommended.

H. B.

Very loud downstairs on a Friday night. Decent food, I think we had a burger (it was one of those nights) and the Happy Hour is great. Staff are friendly. A fair dinkum Sydney pub

D. M.

Here’s to Trent and Julia - I have not been to this establishment for 2 years, walked in purchased a drink, then 20 min later had the manager Trent come up to me and say we found $50 that you dropped out of your pocket, they had looked back on cameras and found I dropped $50 note, honesty and integrity, what a great feeling! Coming back!

H. M.

Pretty nicely done up on the inside, solid beer list and a decent parmy. Surprisingly busy for a Tuesday, but would recommend. Unfortunately they don't have lunch specials such as $15 burgers on a Tuesday etc.

A. M.

Described as Interwar Georgian style architecture, built in 1931 of spectacular design that is considered to still be intact in both exterior and interior. It's in a prominent corner of Bathurst and Pitt Street and apparently significant as it's been a hotel with the same name since 1885! I rather like this charming pub/hotel for its aesthetic design of brick parapet with terracotta cartouches. A wonderful addition to the heritage of this city and its significant contribution to the history of hotel trading in Sydney. Worth exploring and discovering. If you happen to be visiting this place, admire the history and façade of this beautiful and significant landmark.

B. J.

A solid place to meet and hang out with friends, and they have a pretty great selection of drinks at the bar. On the Saturday afternoon we were there, the venue was packed, and so our group had sat at separate tables, which was no big deal at all. Bar food is pretty swell, good range of nibbles too.

A. P.

Amazing Pub in the heart of the city.

M. P.

Always enjoyed this place. Comfy layout, corner pub in the city centre that ticks a lot of boxes. All the good stuff is ground level and above, but if you wanna have a gamble, venture downstairs. Everything you want down there. Not sure about smoking areas, just go outside.. Cool, friendly staff, good for a chat and a bit of area knowledge. Also, highly recommend staying at the Primus hotel across the road!

J. T.

I asked for some hot water to add to my thermal with lemon slices since I have a slight cold, the bar tender went through the trouble to help me fill it up and added some cold water to it so it doesnt burn. Then I sat down to have a drink. Awesome vibe and service!

S. J.

Good city pub for sports and drinks. Saw a FIFA World cup Match there and the small space was pretty full. Big bar with a decent selection of beers. Despite the name didn't see any Scotland specials. Food is standard pub fare.

S. D.

Your average inner city pub, I was there early in a Friday arvo, watched a replay off the cricket world cup on the big screen, and I mean BIG screen. Which was good as is was on too late for me the night before. Patrons were very noisy, didn't phase me as it is a pub. I didn't eat but the food looked good

C. U.

Great place for an afternoon get together. Great dishes at affordable prices. Pick a seat in the corner and watch the world go by.

J. B.

It has an upstairs area (bit more food and functions but also an outdoor courtyard), a downstairs area which is your typical pub and a gaming area underground. Not a bad spot for some casual after work drinks or a bite to eat.

M. A.

With the way somany walls separating the pub area, this place look very compact and tables are very close to each other. Top floor and side they have few open space areas that may suitable for large gathering. In the night they play very loud music which nobody enjoy. It's just adding discomfort to many than doing any good. Visitors have to yell each other to overtake the noisy music have a conversation

P.

Great location in Central Sydney. Good vibe particularly for sports lovers, screens everywhere. The grub is prenatal enough & well priced. Great place for a beer with the boys.

D.

Great pub. We were first time visitors to Oz so not completely sure what to expect. The Eddy was our local opposite our hotel. The reviews suggested it was good and we are pleased to say it is better than we expected. We dined in twice and the food was terrific. My wife had a steak and she said it was exceptional. Try the chicken schnitty or parm, both were great. Drinks ok too and price wise overall not much difference to what we pay in the city centre at home. It varied in busyness both days we visited but it had a really good atmos. and the staff were really friendly too. 👍🏻👏🏻

P. D.

I like this place and have enjoyed it previously so will give it the benefit of the doubt, however I went for lunch today and it took 50 mins for my burger to arrive. Admittedly we were a big group of about 30, but we'd pre booked so it should have been anticipated. The food is good, the atmosphere is good, staff are usually good but was disappointed waiting nearly an hour for a burger and chips.

L. C.

Great pub a couple minutes walk from Town Hall train station with a mixed crowd of professionals and travellers alike. Their menu looks pretty extensive too but what I enjoyed most was their variety of craft beers on tap. Because it's smack bang in the middle of Sydney CBD, it gets busy in the afternoons soon after people knock off from work. Their gaming area is small and smells really strongly of air freshener...

J. B.

I have been here couple of times for drinks after work. Beer options are okay, but very limited scotch options (only three if I am not wrong). Prices are reasonable and they accept all cards. Food options are decent, but can be late to arrive.

R. H.

One of my favourite CBD pubs. Good tap beer selection, great pub food with all the faves, decent cocktails, very friendly staff. Only let down is the average whisky collection. For a pub named "Edinburgh Castle", I'd expect a few more options than the half dozen on offer 😉

L. R.

Just your standard inner-Sydney pub/hotel. Gets pretty full for after work drinks which brings in a decent atmosphere. If you just want to go for beers and then head to one of the many restaurants around, then that's fine, you'll have a good experience. Good place to meet people for a few drinks.

M. L.

I really like the traditional pub concept - The Edinburgh Castle certainly hits the mark. The beers are reasonably priced (and are even cheaper during happy hour), food is good value, and there's plenty of tables and chairs if you're looking to go in a group.

M. D.

Always a good pint on a Friday afternoon before heading home... or for a bit of sport on one of the TV's. Used to love the simpler pub menu upstairs... found the "upgrade" to be not quite as good as previous, but of course, each to their own.

K. S.

Old school classic Good selection of beers, some craft

c. c. m.

If you are looking a place to talk and enjoy, this is your place!

B. E.

We went here for a Friday lunch and struggled to find a seat for 4 people. The food then came nearly an hr after we ordered, although we were given some free chips by staff because of the wait, which was a nice offering. The food can be hit and miss! Sometimes really good and sometimes a bit 'meh'. I also find it wayyyyyy too loud. If you were on a first date here you would feel awkward shouting to be heard. I think it's a good place for a Friday evening drink, if you want a buzzy atmosphere but not great place to sit down and catch up with people!

B. L.

Staff and food were amazing, bonus as they were able to cater for people who are unable to have gluten. Great place to have a feed and a drink after work. Will definitely be back.

E. J.

It was nice to return to the Edinburgh Castle post lockdown. Refreshing pint of Four Pines Summer Ale. Is it necessary for the atmosphere to be so completely dominated by the stench of cheap cleaning product?

r. r.

Lively pub which gets packed on days closer to the weekend. Food is ok but nothing special. They have specials on beers and have a gambling area downstairs. There is a dining area upstairs as well.

A. C.

Upstairs is very well appointed compared to the general public bar area on the ground level. Good food. Good portions. Great selection of beers and wine. Well worth a visit.

D. H.

Staff was very friendly.good place to have a beer with the mates. Meals were OK..

D. S.

Food was good but they stuffed up our order and we had to go back to bar to get it sorted out.

D. L.

Lovely pub, in a quieter area of the city. Recently refurbished and looking welcoming. Happy hour beers were cheap and the food was delicious - especially the olives. Lovely place for a cold relaxing beer.

J. P.

My favourite centrally located historical pub for a drink after work any night of the week. Good place to watch the Melbourne Cup big race or to get together on Anzac Day.

A. G.

A nice little pub in the city to have a few drinks after work. Haven't tried the food, but the menu looked like a typical pub. There are multiple levels, which can host a functions and bookings. The staff are quite friendly and the prices are decent for drinks.

a. v.

I like the venue, the location and the service is good. But very unimpressed by the range of food options. Get a decent steak, have wings that don't have bloody peanuts and I'll not have to duck down the road to the pizza place next time

L. C.

Cold beer and great food

Z. S.

Food is average and not exactly priced well. Have been here a couple of times out of convenience and not yet been impressed by a dish. Last time I went the ragu was cold despite taking over 30 minutes to prepare.

G.

Feb 2017. Formerly a great pub, now gone down hill. We used to visit regularly, but tonight the upstairs bar was closed - apparently no longer operates on Mondays. Meal was delivered minus the salad it was advertised with. Bring your own salt - the salt cellar was 95% full of rice, with 5% brown, rusty salt. Has a TAB located in the VIP Lounge downstairs. Edit. As of August 2018 all is 👍. Undergone a transformation: great staff, good choice of beers and ales. And, consequently, the clientele have changed for the better (a lot of 'suits' in the top bar now - though the 'hi-vis' vest customers are still to the fore in the public bar). Have updated my star rating to reflect the vast improvement since my last review.

L. P.

One of my favourite pubs in the Sydney CBD, The Edinburgh Castle has maintained it's character which is a pleasant change from many of the other nearby establishments. The staff are friendly, there's a nice vibe about the place and they serve plenty of refreshing Reschs.

L. J.

Decent pub with a handful of crafty beers. Foods pretty good too. Had a pulled pork burger with was pretty tasty! Get there early lunchtime to get a table, gets busy

S. E.

Good beers .. friendly staff and definitely Covid conscious. Happy to drink here anytime...

I. W.

Top Aussie pub with restaurant-quality food, a wide selection of pale ales on tap, a pool table and (silent) big-screen sport in the main bar and a classy, cosy vibe upstairs. Very glad it’s our office local!

K. K.

Nice pub with a few outdoor seats where you can drink and eat. The burgers were great and service was nice and quick. Great place for a meet up.

P. C.

Watching the AFL in the main bar is a quite affair. The people in the main bar is a mix who want a quite beer. The upstairs is great. The bar upstairs is vital and there is lots of seating. There is also an outside smoking area. Its another one of my staple friday night pubs, particularly when the sport is on.

I. P.

Very friendly staff and a happy hour from 4-6pm with $5 schooners of your usual Aussie beers - Carlton, VB and Pure Blonde. Has a nice gaming area downstairs too.

C.

Always good food and great beer selection. Staff are always polite. Can get very busy at times.

C. B.

Busy pub. Lots of screens showing several different sports. Decent beer choice. Seemed a bit drab and run down, perhaps they are mistaking this for atmosphere or authenticity.

E. N.

This pub once was a hub on Anzac Day, not now, over sea's owners and the doors shut a 6.30 on such a special day.

M. A.

Good highly patroned pub. Gets very noisy on the main floor during peak periods. Good selection on tap. Food is above average quality. Close to transport.

J. B.

Jim and I were looked after superbly by Carlos a fortnight ago while in Sydney on a Friday night. Carlos went out of his way to make us, seniors, comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed both food and drink in a lively setting. Many thanks from Perth

S.

Only called in to use loo but the people were so nice we stayed for lunch. If You're single You'll be pleasantly surprised, the Ladies that work there are beautiful and very friendly, even to an old guy like Me.

R. W.

Good tucker, ace service, decent beer range and a chilled vibe. Worth the visit.

D. K.

Trying to be a Craft Beer destination. Rotating taps but not from independent breweries. Very good food. Always a good ambiance. Staff super friendly

L. T.

We came here for our hen and stag night drinks, it was warm and welcoming, with a great selection. Really helped us start our night on a good footing.

C. L.

A fun spot. Nice busy old fashioned bar on main floor. A more relaxed quieter restaurant upstairs. Good food and lots of ambience.

K.

Good variety on the menu though on the pricey side, but what has happened more than once now is the wait to receive the food once ordered. It took over 40mins this last time and it was lunchtime on a Monday.

J. F.

Look, it was fine. Not the best pub. Not the worst pub. One of those places that try to be a little bit classy. Not sure they quite pull it off. My double cheeseburger from miccy Ds, just a short walk away, was sublime

J. J.

Nice modern pub, have been here a few times for after work pints. Make sure you make it upstairs though! ...didnt realise it existed until last time, and its definitely the nicest part of the pub.

B.

Gorgeous ambience, as well as the 'worn' furnishings really captures the mood of a vintage bar. Dim lights and well balanced background music create a scenic atmosphere that is comfortable and relaxed.

N. T.

Great place to stop in with a good range of beers to choose from, as well as a few whisky's and wines. Food is solid and disappointed I missed out on their Sunday roast on my recent visit to Sydney.

K. V.

the beer is cold, the distancing is social, the check in is covid safe. happy to drink here after a long day.

J. E.

Fantastic schnitzel and an always rotating selection of beers on tap. Downstairs has more variety. Book ahead Fridays.

A. E. C. M.

Is a nice pub in the city, specially the top floor with the semi garden area. The beer selection is pretty standard, haven't had the chance to eat there though

D. M.

A good place to go after work, nice selection of drinks, reasonable selection of pub food and snacks. A good amount of seating, but you need to be there early on Friday afternoon if you want a table.

t. r.

Great pub, great atmosphere. Worth stopping a while...

A. D.

Had a catch up with an old friend here when down in old Sydney town. Have to admit it's quite a nice establishment. Upstairs is good for a less traditional pub experience.

A. M.

A great place to catch up with friends, the drinks and food here is great for a meal and the staff are friendly. Sit-down areas for drinks or food aren't too cramped which is good also.

B. J. T.

Public bar that serves meals downstairs with good bar service and selection of drinks. Pretty casual place that is more 'rustic city pub' than 'old man beer drinking'. I've been disappointed before with the food service in the upstairs restaurant. Food quality was average and service slow.

T. L.

I like this pub cos it has a friendly atmosphere and good food, but some of the bar staff could do with a bit of training in customer service.

A. L.

Classic after work drinks spot with a pretty wide beer selection on tap and some reasonably priced, but not amazing, food options. Seems to be not too busy in the evenings during the week.

S. I.

Great little city pub with an outside rooftop area.

S. K.

Delicious food and great ambiance. But food takes about 40 minutes on average to arrive (even just chips), so not a great lunch option on a week workday.

P. L.

Went on a Monday night for a quiet ale and the place was jumping between 6pm to 11 pm !!!!!! Leaves most pubs for dead . Great place to meet office girls if you are a single guy.

F. G.

Another awesome spot. We wandered past on Saturday evening and took a punt. Great food, great beer and a lovely pub with great atmosphere.

F. K.

Nice joint,wonderful crowd,affordable drinks,food is good there too.perfect for a Friday night catch up

M. L.

Enjoyed happy hour beers here yesterday $5 is pretty standard in the CBD. Shared a couple of bowls of chips which were fantastic.

M. L.

Love coming here for a quick beer whilst the busy city is slipping past. All the office people rushing around and your sitting sipping a beer. Great hospitality too. Tnx guys.

k.

Very old pub and very well maintained. A wonderful Central place that feels comfortable and safe for quiet drinks. Sports screen and friendly staff

T. H.

Crowded and the food is a bit pricey. But not a bad pub. Staff are friendly.

m. m.

Excellent pub. It not rowdy with some skull thumping music. Food is good. The ambience was great!

B. G.

Went to watch AFL on their big screen as advertised on their website. They had NRL instead. They wouldn't change the channel even though nobody else was watching. Annoying.

A. S.

Good pub, good beer, the chicken parmigiana was terrible though. It looked like someone with a bad cold had sneezed on a perfectly good schnitzel.

G. L. M.

Great surprise in the middle of the city. Reasonable price drinks and food. The ceviche was delicious!

M. H.

Great busy pub with a lively atmosphere. Reasonable food and drink prices, friendly staff. Couldn't recommend it enough

E. L.

Great old pub with a good range of beers.Awesome friendly staff, good food.

W. P.

Aside from that the food is great (remember, it's a pub not a restaurant) The staff are always friendly and smiling, unless you annoy them then the smile gets a bit fixed :) Just a good honest pub with no bullsh*t :) Thanks

A. M.

We had a great experience at "The Edinburgh Castle". We spent more than 5 hours and still we don't wanna loose this place....Awesome ambience!!!

M. C.

Quite a large choice of beers and 2 ciders on tap. Large plates for meals and 3 tv to watch different programs (greyhounds and sport)

L. P.

Abbey went above and beyond to help me find my missing mobile on Saturday after it had slipped behind the lounge. Nice food and nice drinks too!!

J. S.

Great atmosphere.Good city pub for sports and drinks.Awesome friendly staff.

D. F.

Excellent food and very friendly staff. Great lunch venue when you need your food delivered quickly and be able to get back to work.

R. L.

Great staff and service but that's as far as I go.. The food is average.. First time here tried a chicken burger, which was pretty much raw, still bleeding when I had it..I returned in hope I would try something better, even told the waiter about my previous experience and he was very apologetic.. I ordered a beef burger, which turned out was totally burned, I could bearly eat half of it :( I will be back but definitely not for the food.

B. H.

Happy hour prices are a definite attraction for a beer or two after work. The meals are good quality too.

C. S.

Good place good food but services is lacking. Took over forty minutes for lunch time food on a Thursday to be served. For a table of four none of got food at the same time.

A. L.

Always love this place, food n staff are amazing 5/5 ⭐ rating

S. R.

I love any pub that serves jalapeno poppers and Fireball, and The Edinburgh serves both. Well made drinks and tasty share plates.

C. M.

Easy place to have lunch, good pub food but can get very busy on a Friday

A. R.

Sweet staff, orgasmic well priced food, great selection of booze... lots of fond memories had and to be had... would recommend to anyone whos looking for a good time!!

g. r.

Excellent place to bring your friends and family. The beers are cold, staff is great, and the food is worth it.

C. F.

Great drink selection, good atmoshere.

j. p.

Not a bad place to have a beer. Lovely young lass behind the bar. Little creatures pilsner on tap which made my day.

T. W.

Awesome atmosphere. Great meal options. Friendly staff. 10/10 had so much fun.

M. M.

Great service, nice smokers area. Love this place

J. M.

Friendly pub with helpful staff. Not cheap but has a nice atmosphere and music at a sensible level

N. Y.

Great pub to hang our with friends and to have some drinks after work, highly recommend ! I ordered rump steak and it was perfect !

J. O.

Nice relaxing pub with reasonably good pub meal deals.

M. H.

Little bit of Scotland in the heart of the city. Bagpipes on every night and all you can eat haggis. Great stuff.

r.

Good vibe, good beer. Food is nothing to write home about, but on part with other pins in the area

P. C.

I had a couple of icy cold beers with friends on a Sunday arvo, quite pleasant

J. H.

Great place awesome staff but the upstairs bar ... come on ... don’t close it so early

p. f.

In the middle of CBD... Perfect!!

J. H.

Very traditional layout, great fish n chips, very enjoyable except for the pesky customer who was eventually ejected! 🙂

R. S.

Friendly comfortable pub with reasonable prices. Great if you like sport as it has a couple of big screens

H. F.

Great atmosphere to chill out and enjoy your favourite drink

W. L.

One of best approaches Ive seen to address covid restrictions in a pub.

T. G.

Good for lunch, after work drinks or an evening session. Can get busy, but you’ll usually find a spot quickly.

M. W.

The foods here was excellent, much better than i expected. Wish they had a pool table though...

D. J.

Nice city pub, better than i thought it would be. Really nice steak for the price, beer fresh

S. M.

Ate upstairs - pub grub at restaurant prices, slow to get the food out and staff who didn't seem very interested. Pretty standard Sydney pub experience.

J. P.

Nice steak but could not order mash instead of chips.vegetables was just beans

P. E.
