The Mad Hatter in Edinburgh

Amazing pub in Edinburgh. Great choice of beers. I had the audacity to ask for the burger without the haggis. But it was very good.

Nice food, good music, lovely atmosphere - grest night. Thank you.

This place is across from the leonardo hotel haymarket. A popular place with people traveling to Edinburgh. I myself was over from Dublin, husband and daughter in tow. I was pushing to try here the few days we were here, my husband wasn't too keen. Obviously I got my way and on our last day we headed over for dinner.Pretty empty inside. There was a couple sitting by the window having drinks that was it. The lad behind the bar came over to us before we sat down and said sorry no children aloud. I said thats ok and left. ( should have listened to the husband from the start ha ha )I'd advice families not to waste your time crossing the doors of this place. I will be back over in the coming weeks/months without my daughter for meetings as we are due to marry in Edinburgh this year.Safe to say i will not be recommending this place to any of our family and friends from Ireland and Scotland.Reply to mad hatters reply...Hi there. Im sorry but i can only review on my experience of a place and sadly in my case this experience was not pleasant. After reading your reply I completely understand where you guys are coming from. However, I do think that could have been explained to us when we were there. Instead we were called to a halt when entering and having to leave feeling embarrassed for having a child.Im leaving this review Num1 to save other families from the experience and Num2 in the hope that you guys could put up some kind of notice on the door before entering and up on your social media sites. It will save alot of hassel.

My wife and I came here by chance on a weekend away... We returned the next day and now want to move from Hampshire to Edinburgh because of this bar. Russell and Blair welcomed us with such warmth and good humour. Amazing soundtrack, wonderful choice of drinks, exceptional service and kindnesses. Although I should be being paid for a review of such glowing references, I'm not. I simply love this place. ✌️❤️

Don't know why I hadn't been here before, what a lovely place! The food was so delicious - had the vegetarian flatbread and phwoar, what a large and tasty plate of food. The quiz (Wednesdays) was the best I've ever been to in Edinburgh, 100% will be back!!

A smaller pub in the Haymarket area, this is the place to find if you like a burger, they have to be the best in Scotland not just Edinburgh, very good friendly helpful staff also.

Warm and Cosy, Wonderful atmosphere, Food was great and staff were approachable and friendly, would recommend to friends, just need to be lucky and get a seat.

Brilliant place, small, busy, great drinks and good atmosphere. What more could you ask for. Bar staff were great and my girlfriend can vouch for the cocktails, she really enjoyed them and far from mediocre like another review suggested 🙄 would highly recommend going if you have the chance!

tldr: mediocre bar, don't try the white rabbitI went in to try one of their signature cocktails called a "white rabbit". It was the blandest drink I've ever had, honestly a waste of calories. I didn't want to drink it, and they don't offer replacement drinks. The bartender said it was my choice not to drink it, and that's true, but it's also their choice to offer bad cocktails.**Edit in response:Whether or not others have liked your drinks doesn't change my negative experience and is pretty abstract (I could claim a lot of people believe in bigfoot, who's to say). Reviews are about sharing your personal experience, and part of a successful business is ensuring customer satisfaction.

Our favourite bar in Edinburgh during our trip. Nice beer, whiskey and cocktails. Great music taste and nice vibe. Definitely a bit of me 😜.
