The Newsroom in Edinburgh

The food was good, large dish.Toilets tiny but tidy :)Atmosphere great! Nice staff, tending to all sorts of things, from helping to charge my phone to taking care nicely of a loud drunken guy, really pro.Interior nice, clean and casual.I recommend for dinner, lunch, chatting by a drink or staying the whole evening.

Very nice place. Nice food. Nice staff Coixe of beer and the cocktails look amazing

Amazing super friendly helpful staff. Amazing food and great value for menu. Would definitely recommend and to pre book if visiting

Amazing food, nice decor and service

Nice place to have drinks and something to eat, prices were average for the area. We ordered the fish and chips, it was a large serving, the fish was cooked perfectly, however, there was a couple of small niggles, the batter was a bit greasy and there were far too many peas on the plate. The servers were polite, prompt and well presented. The toilets are downstairs, if you are tall, mind your head when using the cubicle on the right as the roof is quite low above the cistern (there is padding to dull the blow). Nice place well worth a visit.

I popped in for a drink there. Because it was Friday evening the place have been quite busy however we found a table. I observed people around and I came into a conclusion that whatever reason, whoever you are with everyone will find something interesting for oneself. Casual and cosy The Newsroom will probably find your soft spot and hit it directly. Go and enjoy.

Located directly across from the new St James Centre, this restaurant is one of the best I have been to in Edinburgh. Extensive menu with loads to choose from, from fajitas to classic fish n chips to hot dogs. Dessert menu was short and sweet. Also a good selection of Christmas drinks and food which was a pleasant surprise. I've never seen a drinks menu with so much to choose from before, most specifically beers, gins and cocktails. Food and drinks were delicious. The environment in the place was lively but not overly so and we received a quick and wonderful welcome coming in from the cold. You have to go here! And we will definitely be back!

Amazingly delicious bramble cocktail, best I've had in a while. The staff was very welcoming even though I had no booking. Didn't have time to try their food but would love to visit again when back in Edinburgh.

Booked a table for 4 at 7pm & arrived to an almost full bar. Shown to our table, at the far end from the entrance. When our drinks arrived I asked & was assured that the air conditioning fan speed could & would be reduced!We selected our choices of food from the menu & within reasonable time, was delivered. My expected hot skillet of fajitas unfortunately not 'sizzling', instantly lost any heat, due to being seated directly under the extremely cold AC vent positioned above my head! The wife's chicken, haggis & veg got the same cold treatment, which she also had no pleasure in eating.We realise the need for air circulation is paramount, especially in these Covid times but our evening enjoyment was ruined by sitting in near freezing cold conditions!We were eventually offered & accepted a 20% discount, though this was not the intension of our complaint.Overall nice place, good atmosphere & pleasant staff, but poor seating plan - Would visit again, though I'd specify a warmer area to sit, when booking & quite possibly add a few stars to the review!

The food was incredible and the cocktails were amazing... A little noisy but that was the customers. Such friendly, attentive staff.
