Footlights Bar & Restaurant in Edinburgh

Really friendly and welcoming bar. Lots of great beers on offer and there's a nice vibe to the place. A beer and a cider cost just under £10 and the bar staff are happy to offer a taste of a beer if you're not sure what to pick. There's an open mic advertised for Thursday nights.

Lovely pub. Music and open mic night with very good singers and musicians. Thoroughly enjoyed our night out.

Really good food. Selection was brilliant. Decent atmosphere but no table service and very poor attitude from staff

Brilliant bar. Great for watching football. Good selection of beers and the staff are very friendly and attentive. Highly recommended and worth a visit. Very central too.

Maybe it is what things cost now but seemed expensive. This is a nice large bar where you can eat. The food was good. Music choice for me was good too. Suppose just a bit disappointed with the number of TV screens on showing sport.

Great place to catch all sport; book a table in advance if you are in a group. Good selection of beers, gins etc

The first night the kitchen was closed due to an issue but MY GOD it was worth the wait coming back the next two nights my parents and I LOVED!!! IT, Mark was amazing, excellent service and extremely friendly and made the whole experience there feel homely. When my dad hurt his foot earlier that day the barman on the 3rd night was very accommodating to my dad waiting on him hand and foot and making sure he was OK. I'm hoping to come back to Edinburgh and when I do I know exactly where I'm going for my food and drinks and the prices are amazing compared to other places we got all our food and drinks for half the price of 1 meal somewhere else and I had the mac'n' cheese both nights as ive never tasted one as nice as that and I love my Italian meals...Ps thank you mark and the rest of the staff who served us. We never felt more welcome anywhere else x

Decent place with great staff, great beer and great food. A common meeting point if gigging nearby, due to size and the two pool tables. Great!

After a busy first day in the office, we were all invited out for a meal in the evening, which of course we accepted. This was the selected destination, and it is located very well. Although the outdoor seating area wasn't the best as we were cramped onto the side of the pavement, you do get excellent views of Edinburgh castle so the trade-off is probably worth it!My eyes were immediately drawn to the mac n cheese burger, which not only comes with a patty but is slathered in macaroni cheese. What a fantastic idea! When it arrived I was not disappointed - in fact I marvelled at the amount of macaroni cheese was actually on the burger, as it was spilling down the sides. Unfortunately this meant I had to use a knife and fork to safely eat my burger and not humiliate myself in front of colleagues, not that I generally have any problem with that. It tasted delicious. A special note must go to the chips on the side which were chunky but also soft and tasted great!

I was looking for a pub where I was able to order Haggis and cider. A typical scottish pub, great atmosphere, very yummy food at reasonable prices. You can pay with card.
