multiple hen/stag parties happening here every weekend. The garden is great to smoke and have a drink too. The inside sometimes is smelly but you notice it only when its almost empty :S overall nice place to go for a drink

hen/stag night hades. Rammed at weekends, a literal physical fight for bar attention. Ominously the only pub in edinburgh I've been asked to leave (cos of a friend's actions before you ask :-) ). The bouncers are expletives deleted.

Awful, awful, awful!
My friend had booked a private room for his 21st and we arrived to find that guests were not being allowed in and made to QUEUE OUTSIDE! I appreciate that it was very busy (as it coincided with a football game) but as lots and lots of people left, the power-drunk bouncers let in people who arrived after us walking in off the street. This is disgusting as the birthday boys mum had gone to a lot of effort and paid a lot of money only to find that guests for a PRIVATE function wouldn't be allowed in. When she asked to speak to the manager, he sat hiding in his office, claiming he was too busy while the power-drunk bouncers were left to deal with the problem.
To add insult to injury the manager then opened up a private entrance for a group of 20 or 30 skantily clad woman (who had arrived well after us) to let them in around the side of the building.
This evening says a lot about the type of venue this is and the HORRENDOUS management it is under.
I WILL NEVER DRINK HERE AGAIN AND WILL MAKE SURE THAT I LET EVERYONE KNOW HOW BAD THIS VENUE IS!

Popped in last thursday for a pint and something to eat. Large bar which i expect gets very busy at weekends. Was still quite busy in the afternoon when i visited. Beer was ok and the food was excellent.

Though I have had a few good nights in here, it's not in my top 20 drinking venues in Edinburgh. It can be a laugh (especially when someone you are with wins 1 minute behind the bar! Painful but great!) but as mentioned in previous review, it stinks of vomit more often than not and is a haven for hen/stag parties. Not my idea of fun, but every so often it can be wicked. Try at your own discretion.

Very poor beer but lots of atmosphere if you like the crowwded loud music scene.

Went in this pub to watch the Rugby, and was impressed with the facilities for this.
Baring in mind it was 2.30 in the afternoon, I didn't expect the gangs of tattooed women dressed up to the nines and blokes knocking them back ten to the dozen - I think if I came in here in an evening I would be very very afraid..

This pub is fantastic. Also on a Fri, u have to have the fat boy burger deal. HUGE burger, chips, salad and a bottle of lager, all for �5! In summer, they have a BBQ outside

Been twice, loved the first one, then spent two hours trying to find the place to go back again!! Time well spent I reckon!!!
You HAVE to visit the Three Sisters when in town.

"stag and hen party friendly"
"rudby club"
Looks like other users have provided parts of the reasons I hate it. Plus it smells of sick. Permenantly.
