The Chanter in Edinburgh

First time visiting, really enjoyed meal and staff where very helpful. Will no doubt visit again.

Nice pub with a view of the castle. Lots of TVs with sports, a snooker table, etc. Friendly service and good food options including gluten free options

Nice pub,shame about the manageress .Possibly the worst excuse for a so called responsible person. Rude,ignorant, aggressive and arrogant.She threatened / Intimated us with police and security.WHY ?Her reason was the adjoining table was marked reserved from 9pm so we had to shift or leave . When queried she ' stole' my drink ,the doorman following her instructions asked us to leave but had the good grace to listen to our version of events. When he tried to reason with the creature from Cell Block H , he was told he would be sacked if he didn't throw out a 60 year old couple.I will be lodging a written complaint with both owners of this pub and the licence board as this so called manageress is not fit for purpose.Prior to this the bar staff were super friendly, the service and atmosphere were good. Even the DJ apologised about the frustrated hag !

Really lovely place! The drinks were delicious and the pitchers were relatively cheap. Very queer friendly staff which was much appreciated!

Very poor central management, which makes The Chanter one of those (few) pubs in Edinburgh that demands a pre-payment to book a table (only for 5 people).After speaking to a member of the staff, I booked a table and I received two confirmation emails. After a couple of hours I receive another email from central management informing me that my booking requests cannot be accomodated (my payment was already collected).Fun fact: the central management is not even based in Edinburgh but they still make decisions without being at the pub. This puts the bar staff in a very uncomfortable situation and dissatify the costumers.

What a brilliant pub! We popped in for a quick drink and ended up staying for the whole night. The DJ was fantastic and the atmosphere in the pub was great all night. The team were so friendly and attentive throughout and had great knowledge of the vast range of craft beer available. Will definitely be back soon!

A wonderful pub full of character and good natured staff. I can't speak highly enough of the chef as the food we got was top notch. Would definitely recommend 👌 👍

They do the best boozy brunch!! 6 drinks for £20pp! Our server Savannah was friendly and attentive. Would definitely return.

After reading other reviews, I have to point out that NOT providing free wifi is NOT a reason to give only 4 stars... who needs free wifi when they go out to eat? Sounds like a lonely meal... This is a great place. My wife and I enjoyed it a lot. It's not trying to be anything but itself. The food was great, the staff was friendly and attentive, the menu is solid, and drink selection is on par . I had sloppy joes, my wife had fish n chips. Both were cooked proper and tasted great. Don't pass on this place , it's def worth checking out.

The Chanter‘s pub is located not far from Edinburgh‘s castle. The menu offers a classical pub‘s food variety, with burgers, breakfast, and a special section for vegan food. The enhancement of the bar is wide, giving the guests some space: it is not over crowded. Important point: the food and drinks are ordered directly at the bar, and then served to your table (so you should note your table‘s number before going to take your order).
