Food and Drinks

Pros:

• "Great app for ordering drinks. Would definitely recommend this venue as it’s great value for money in the city centre."
• "The club sandwich that my other friend had was worth the money it was huge."

• "The drinks don’t taste very strong but still a reliable place to go for tasty fruity cocktails."

• "The food is freshly cooked and the menu isnt just a bog standard pub grub menu as everything has their own twist."

Cons:

• "Food was cold and re-heated, sent the first plate back and the second plate was even worse."

• "Food was dreadful, microwaved."
• "We asked for a caesar salad without bacon and the salad arrived with bacon."
• "One of my cocktails I paid £10 for was 90% ice and was more like a slushie."
• "The BOTANICAL SUMMER SALAD - AVOCADO AND GOAT'S CHEESE, which didn't have enough avocado or goat's cheese for the price of £11.50."

Atmosphere and Experience

Pros:

• "Floors a little sticky and curious smell in the air as you'd expect from any reputable underground watering hole. Friendly clientele, door staff and bar staff. Reasonably priced drinks."
• "Good vibey music as well and the most interesting DJ stand I’ve seen (carved wood pulpit)."
• "Played Pacman on the arcade and got introduced to shuffleboard, which I enjoyed very much."
• "The music isn't too loud so you can actually hear what people are saying to you and the atmosphere is not bad."
• "Very welcoming on our first visit to Edinburgh and enjoyed the drinks as much as everywhere else (revolutions)."
• "Went on a weekday evening but there was a lovely vibe. Cool decor, good music, WONDERFUL cocktails."
• "What a fantastic experience! I was here with a group of friends to celebrate a birthday, and it was absolutely brilliant."

Cons:

• "Large late night bar that plays cheesy music and tends to be filled with blazing idiots or stags and hen parties."
• "Extremely Disappointed with the Security Team's Unprofessional and Harassing behavior."
• "Exceedingly chavvy, full of 'lady's' I can only describe that look as though they are retired prostitutes"
• "Toilets were horrible, no hand soap at all and toilet paper everywhere."
• "The whole floor and tables were sticky and the smell was not pleasant."
• "Decides to go on a nice venture to the watering hole with my fellows. 10 of us in all. Just myself got refused entry, even though being sober and valid Id."
• "Terrible experience! The place was almost empty and very dirty with sticky tables and floors."
