The Hanging Bat in Edinburgh

Popped in for a quick drink before going out to dinner. Never been here before but will definitely come back. Nice vibe and friendly staff, the food looked good and a wide selection of beers, reasonably priced

Really cool place to go to eat or hang out with some friends and have a few drinks on an evening, great music and atmosphere! Be sure to check it out! 🙂👍🏻

Great bar. Very cool selection of beers.. local and international, they also have snack and warm meals .Cozy place friendly staff.

Nice pub to grab food, or just to sit and have a drink. Food was tasty and served relatively quickly. Drinks weren't too expensive, considering the general pricing of Edinburgh. Would recommend over other nearby pubs if you're in the area.

I love this bar. It has a great atmosphere, superb (i.e. very expensive) beer and music. The draft beer menu is carefully curated and constantly updated (google “Bat Taps Twitter”). The staff are great too. Although they can be grumpy sometimes when its really busy with stupid, drunk punters 😉

Amazing if you're into your beers. First time I went I was given a half dozen tasting samples for free all because I said I was looking for something fruity! The guy serving us seemed to have an encyclopedic knowledge of beer and it really came through. I love trying new drinks here. Nice atmosphere too.

I was recommended this craft beer pub by a friend, and I was so pleased we visited! The beer selection was fantastic, and the friendly staff were great with alot of knowledge and willing to let me try before buying. I feel like it's missing something though, to make it five star. Maybe a better music choice or more on brand decor? Maybe some hanging bats!? 🤣 Still, definitely going back!

Amazing craft beer bar, excellent selection of beers and very knowledgeable and helpful staff

Had lunch here midweek & was very quiet. On the main Lothian Road. Stands out from outside but doesn't look like like a pub or bar.Quite large inside spread over a number of different levels & more "pub like". Wasn't very obvious what choices of beer they had but whilst I was looking round spotted bottles of Tegenseer in the fridge which I like so went for one of those. There are maps on the walls showing where their beer comes from but a simple menu would have been fine. I ordered a hotdog will chilli, mustard etc & barman seemed to take an age messing with a tablet before the order was processed.Disappointingly the bottle of beer wasn't properly chilled. Food was very nice & made for very substantial lunch.Not bowled over with this first visit maybe just bad timing & am willing to try again when next in Edinburgh.

Really nice choice of beers and loved that they gave you a wee taster so you could try before you buy! Quirky wee place but we tried to order food and were told the kitchen isn't working which was disappointing. We also had bought Groupon vouchers the day before which weren't honoured due to this. Bit of a let down!
