Not too bad a shop if you fancy a quick drink and a few games of pool . The jukebox is crammed with good stuff too , drawbacks ? Never shows british sport instead you get constant aussie rules,cricket and rugby , even when theres no aussies in the place ... Dont dare ask to change the channel !!
Drinks are ok and the punters/staff usually friendly and welcoming .

I loved this pub. If you wanted to drink on the cheep there is lots of good deals, if you want to drink good beer (and have the money) they have a great range.

Staff were great fun, music was the best I've heard since arriving in the UK (good mix of Aussie and U.S. rock, live music on Sundays was great).

I guess the toilets were done up because they were clean and very well presented.

Shame I didn't have more time in Edinburgh.

Great range of Aussie beers & good fun staff. The toilets aren't that bad but they could use a coat of paint.

have spent some very friendly afternoons and evenings playing pool there. People are relaxed and friendy, beer is cheap, music is great. They should really do something for the toilets though...

I have been in a lot of pubs all over the world, but this one takes the cake. Its scuzzy. Nothing but a bunch of blokes running the place. Do they ever clean it?

Very nice Australian bar, but not themed like walkabout. Found their prices a little steep, in comparison to some of the other bars. e.g. bottle wine is 10.50, same wine is 7.20 elsewhere.

We were here in September of 2005 and we thought it was a pretty awesome place to hang out! It felt just like home which is just what we needed seeing as we were a long way away from there! Beer was awesome!

Not a bad place really. We were expecting some tacky boozer, with kangaroos and surf boards..but infact they sell alot of real beer imported from oz..and lots of crisps and sweets too! The music was quite good and the staff were cool..definately check it out if your in Edinburgh!

Gazza, fair comment about the pub but really if you want to watch english sport there countless OTHER pubs that cater for that stuff, ... think about it mate. Cheers, Brad.
