Excellent cocktails and food is delicious. Do try out the deer burger - might be on the sweeter side. The staff is courteous and warm - they were really patient & understanding with our toddlers.

Jimmy Angelakos

One of the best choices for burgers in Edinburgh. Nice ambience, not too loud , u can get relaxed & quiet burger dinners on weeknights. Good selection of local & int'l craft beer , rotating guest ales .

Beth Tomlin

Amazing burgers , especially the mushroom , swiss cheese and garlic mayo one. Upgrade to Piri Piri fries for lots more flavour.

Great food and beer but the service not so much! It took us enquiring about our change (after 20min) for her to bring them.. shape up people, you have a great place, don't ruin it!

You can sup on the vast array of beers dispensed by exceedingly shiny taps, and dine on our favourite thing about the place: sharing planks. Read more

Amazing stock of cask ale here, pretty much all the main brewdog lineup!

Breakfast menu served until 12 weekdays and 5pm at the weekends. Great value too.

Two Courses £12, or Three Course £15 - All day, every day. Look out for the squirrel marked dishes on the menu.

Super friendly service . They also have smoothies ! (Not on the main menu)

damo

Great starters. The Red Squid , lamb Kofkas, and Tandoori Chicken Skewers are all fantastic....

Chris Leckie

The sister pub of Dukes in Dundee and Holyrood 9A in Edinburgh. You can be assured a good pint but it will cost you.

Not as nice as its sister pub The Southern, but not bad. Decent selection of beers if not the widest range

The food is amazing, n that's an understatement! Enjoy!

Good beer selection , but alas the kitchen still leaves something to be desired at the price point. The recommended burger was grey and juiceless, although at least the meat wasn't defrosted patty.

Becca Strahan

Super tasty burgers !

The food! It's so amazing!
