Basically, ignore all these other reviews. The Tron is the ONLY pub worth going to in Edinburgh. Whoever said the bar staff need to be more attentive doesn't know what the hell they are talking about. Their Head Barman "Chin" will look after your every need as soon as you step into the room. "Chin" we salute you and see you soon !

The ground level part of this pub is a scummy jakey hangout and because of this i never went near the place for years. however i was assured by my boyfriend that dig a little deeper (go downstairs) and its alright. and actually hes right for a change! very studenty, its dark and all the tables seem to be in mysterious little corners of their own which is fine for a couple but i wouldnt go there in a big crowd. for city centre its cheap cheerful but not much else

If you are going to sit down,check the seats for chewing gum.
Staff need to be more attentive.

The Tron is an OK pub but there is nothing really spectacular about it. It is not very big, the staff weren't that bothered about getting up from a bar stool and serve you, but it is cheap if you are a student. If you didn't go to this pub you would not really miss out on much.

while on vacation from the states i walked past this place and it was soley the music that sucked me into it. although i dont recall the price of things beacause everything to me in the uk is expensive- i do remember the music on the screens.everything i loved and even things i didnt love yet played. ah i will miss this place the most. and yes- i felt like creepy old girl because everyone there was much younger than my 30 years. but on the bright side of things i was amongst people with flawless taste in music.ha.

Great place if your a student, £1 a pint on Sundays or Wendnesdays with a Yellow Card. Typical student haunt, you get to know quite a few of the customers if you spent a lot of tiem there. Friendly staff, Friendly bouncers Friendly customers.

Nice cheap booze, friendly staff and customers. You may struggle to find a seat on some nights, but quid a pint drinks make up for that (get a yella card!). They're comfy seats too when you do. Good music, and lot's of tv screens to stare at when your a bit fargone. 3 floors with live music in the basement on some nights. Think there's even a pub quiz once a week.

Great place to start, finish or contain your whole night. Staff are great, the food is tasty and in large enough portions. The drink is cheap and even cheaper if you are a student. the seats are comfy and there are enough of them that you should usualy find a table, unless its a wednesday night when it is PACKED as it's pound a drink (£1.25 and £1.50) for some drinks. All in all amazing

All I can say is if your out in Edinburgh and you fancy going for a drink The Tron is the place to go!. Relaxed Atmosphere comfy nooks with leather couches, T.V screens showing the Juke-Box music video's everywhere, Good pool table, Great food & friendly staff too. Not to mention the 'Yellow Card', where you collect different cards, obtained when buying drinks, collect a set of 3 and get a free drink. Yellow card's also mean you get drink's cheaper. They cost £2 but only 4 students. The only downer I got with the place though.. Anyway if your in town be sure to visit.

This is one of those yellow card pubs that offer cheap booze to students. Apart from that, it's a bit crap. Not much life about the place and the drinks are well expensive for mere mortals
