Pilgrim in Edinburgh

After being in tonight as a first time customer i must say that this place truly surprised me beyond what i had expected. I found the prices to be really good for Edinburgh. The staff all seemed to go out of their way to do everything possible to make sure i had a great experience. I thought the whole atmosphere was great loved the burger i had and really enjoyed myself. I would highly recommend this bar to everyone the staff where amazing and i have to say i will become a regular in this bar happily.Everyone should come to this amazing bar and have a great time.Thank you to all the staff for being so good.

I was generously gifted a groupon voucher for Christmas, to enjoy some cocktails and nachos for four. After making the long journey through the cold and stormy weather we arrived at the door with much excitement and anticipation....but oh was that misplaced. After moving the time slot from our requested booking due to the empty bar being 'completely booked out' we were seated on some sticky leather stools. eager to cash in our voucher and order our drinks and quell our ravenous appetites, we struggled to get the attention of any one of the many waiters on shift. To be quite frank, we felt like a nuisance trying to order whilst they stormed past slurping on a can of monster and god knows what else. Once we finally got through to one of these incompetent staff, we waited a long while, tummies grumbling, and minds running for our orders to arrive. FINALLY we were presented with a 'sharing platter of nachos for 4' that would barely satiate the appetite of a small bird, let alone four hungry adults. The guac dip was a mere thimble of watered down neon green goo. still RAVENOUS we ordered some burgers. Only to be assaulted by the staff.... who dropped from great height a weighty card machine on my nose! despite floods of tears streaming down my face and making my fries sopping wet, the waitress barely apologised, and scurried away only to slip off her stool moments later. she then commanded us to return to the bar to pay for our food. Upon speaking to the manager, and hoping for some form of compensation she showed no remorse and only offered some more ice. Furthermore we clarified that the food included in the 'deal' was £15 short of what groupon promised, and she had the audacity to put it down to inflation. I implore you to re-route your pilgrimage far far away from this truly unholy establishment.

Was gifted a voucher 4 this bar, 2 cocktails 🍸🍹and some nachos. Very nice but geared more 4 younger people 😊😊

The drinks were pretty decent, though thus felt like an awkward mix between club and pub.. There was no real dance floor and we were seated at a table yet they were playing nonstop dance music at an insane volume. Very strange experience! Drinks also took ages to get to us and several times we struggled to get the attention of staff to make our orders.

Nice atmosphere and quirky decor makes it a really fun place to have hang out. We bought the Groupon promotion that serves cocktails and nachos. Friendly service staff and the drinks is well presented and very nice. They also run promotions for students and members! Would recommend visiting if around Cowgate area!

The staff were lovely and attentive. Problems It was very over crowded to the point even when sat down you couldn't move, the stools and tables were wobbly, the toilets were very very run down some of them not flushing and just appeared dirty(don't think this was actually the case it just appeared that way due to ageing) the outside also looked very rundown. The bar its slef was very funky and modern. So very mixed hence the 3 star review.

Loved the atmosphere, cocktails were fabulous, staff were amazing very friendly and helpful for us deaf ladies. They phoned a taxi for us. Highly recommended.

Absolutely full of young, white, straight people including big groups of rowdy lads - with some doing coke in the bathroom - who are territorial over tables and bar stools. Don't expect to sit down and make sure you cover your drink ladies. Unfortunately my partner got hate-crimed in the bathroom by a snorter but the assistant management and bouncer were really nice and reassuring that it's unacceptable in their club. Wouldn't feel safe coming here again but good to know the staff would help.

Visited on the 24th October, really nice looking venue with a good positive atmosphere. We took advantage of a Groupon offer of cocktails which were great. The bar was quiet when we visited, and we found the staff to be attentive and very helpful. Would recommend a visit!

I'd still go back despite three stars. The cocktails are great and super cheap, but the staff were slow and little rude, meaning I ended up carrying a bunch of martinis over to my table to help get our drinks sooner. Seating is comfortable if you get a sofa, dire if you don't. My back hurts thinking about those stools still.
