Allan D'SouzaFebruary 15, 2014The ambience was intriguing and the DJ was superb playing good club/house music coupled with music videos displayed on 2 wide screens at the front!- Russell CoswayAugust 31, 2012A short show occasionally when the monster is lowered from the roof and animated to appropriate fx and music... The lights dimming starts it... Get to the centre of the room... Or sit on the balcony
Priscilla PasqualiniAugust 30, 2016Best nachos portion I've ever had! Cool place, but the music was so loud I couldn't talk to the person sitting beside me!- AnaFebruary 29, 2012Great great pub/club. Friendly atmosphere, fun staff and good music. A must stop in Edinburgh. Highly recommended.
Emma TownsleyJuly 22, 2015Looks fabulous! Really smart, food is a little experience for what it is, but would definitely go back!
XenaGabriellefan BruceMarch 22, 2014Great pub but prices seem to have gone up recently so be prepared to spend quite a bit of money. Jenny emma xx :-)
Georgia GriersonAugust 31, 2013Went there with a friend several years ago and it was an enjoyable night :-)

JodyAugust 15, 2012Wouldn't give the advertised 30% off offer during the Edinburgh festival even though it's available on the app and I showed them.
Roshni PatelAugust 4, 2016Tourist trap. Wait staff is friendly but the wait is very long - we waited an hour for our food and the restaurant was basically empty. My suggestion would be to bypass this restaurant
Nathaniel CassidyJanuary 4, 2014Not what I expected it's more a theme park style tourist attraction than period bar as the outside suggests.
- Angella HartungDecember 7, 2013I didn't know it was seat yourself... Awkward.... SEAT YOURSELF PEOPLE! :-*
Dené SinclairMarch 22, 2012Total crap. Walk down the street to any other pub. Waited over an hour for food, but then again - I think they thought I was an American tourist.
Dee MuchmoreMay 6, 2011The music is too loud and the mac and cheese is terrible. I'd be willing to give it another shot though.
TomMay 9, 2011Desserts consist of nothing more than fake cream. Slow service. Over priced. (heineken = 8 quid) 80's music. Not good.
Pablo Ruiz EspinosaNovember 3, 2013Si te descargas la aplicación del restaurante consigues ofertas y descuentos! Hay un código QR en el baño para poder descargártelo. La comida genial y el ambiente increíble. Un 10.
David VanlommelOctober 20, 2017Mooi Facade Leuke nachtclub Goede muziek. Alleen het middernachtspektakel vond ik wat flauwtjes. Maar dat is natuurlijk persoonlijk
