One of the best pubs we visited in Edinburgh, staff and customers made us really welcome. The atmosphere watching a football match was electric, a bit heated at times but no trouble or aggression. The manager here is a good guy, really entertained us made us feel welcome. Def be back later in the year for some fine scottish hospitality. Keep up the great work guys.......and gals

Took a look in last month for their 'ale' festival, some very good ale on tap but not all available from poster, only 2 or 3 out of the 12 or so listed. Food looked to be going at a fair rate. My only compliant (along with various other establishments) is why do the staff and friends always gather around the servery and tightest area of the bar, 1 poor barmaid having to navigate through 6 bodies to serve food from the kitchen, i ended up having to take the long way round to visit the toilet as squeezing past was becoming very annoying !!

Love this place. Staff leave you alone when you are trying to watch the footy. 2 big screens and loads of small ones for the sports. Good deals on food and drink too.

The haymarket bar provides standard-issue drinks, is inhabited by trash and the barstaff are unrelentingly rude.

Just a bloated "Casuals" pub.Boring drink, boring food and boring prices.These type of pubs are cloned all over the uk.No atmosphere at all. Awe... and pretty barmaids pruning themselves in the mirror to impress the customers.I had one pint and couldnt get out of the place fast enough.I ended up a five minute walk away in Mathers at the West End(A real pub)

This is just another brewery pub offering the same old drinks at the same price, food is fried or out the microwave, its not badly priced but fairly bland. The good thing about the pub is the sports but there are far better pubs less than two min away.

Went into the Haymarket for a Scotland game and had a brilliant time.
The food is ace and well priced and the drink is reasonable as well for a west end pub. The staff are very friendly and there are a few Tasty Barmaids as well, and it doesn't matter where you stand to watch a game, you can see a screen or telly from anywhere in bar......Brilliant...!!!! Keep up the good work
