“ Fab wings and great beer selection. Awesome pub quiz too ”
“ Great selection of locally brewed drinks and some awesome food! We visited this past weekend & had a warm and friendly greeting, with great knowledge and advice for drinks, as well as offering samples of some of the more unique drinks. We stayed for a few drinks and also ordered food, the sharing plate of fries was huge and absolutely full of flavor! It's also Dog Friendly, so that was very handy too. Love the decor inside too, it's like the inside of my mind popping out onto the walls ”
“ I've never been to the actual restaurant, but this is my favourite place to order wings from! I always get the cauliflower "wings" as they are so good!! ”
“ Brilliant bar and awesome food. Chicken burgers and wings to die for. Fantastic selection of drinks and very reasonably priced. Staff were fantastic and really look after the customers, great service. We'll definitely visit again when next in Edinburgh. ”
“ Thursday night pub quiz/trivia was a blast. Excellent host. Great food too. ”
“ Excellent chicken wings - best in Leith. They benefitted from the billed 24 hour brine as the meat was perfectly succulent and housed in a crunchy coating. The pickles were well balanced between sweet and acidic, which complimented the wings well. You can choose from a range of sauces or dry rubs with the chipotle sour cream being selected on this occasion; it brought a pleasing lactic tang and touch of heat. My partner had chicken tenders which were equally delicious. Good range of local craft beers and very friendly service ”
“ A small pub with a soul and also with very tasty beer, which is not found in usual pubs. Types of beer change, which cannot but please. Usually there is NeIPA, which I really like. Also very tasty food! ”
