What a dive. Visited in the afternoon and it was ok, nothing special. Went back in the evening and it was awful, The drinks tasted watered down and were very expensive compared to other pubs in the area. The floors were soaking wet, toliet floors wet, filthy & smelly and hard to get served at the bars. Not my idea... More

I regularly visit The Three Sisters when in Edinburgh. Usually very, very busy (its a haven for Hen and Stag parties) and lively. Staff are always pleasent and usually quick to serve. If you are looking for a busy and lively night in Edinburgh, this is your place! More

We really enjoyed our night out here. The bouncers were so nice, not to strict. Music and facilities were good. More

We called in to this pub on a Saturday lunchtime, primarily to watch a football match prior to going into central Edinburgh. Big mistake! The drinks prices are extortionate. Nearly £4 for a pint. So is the food. We ordered burgers in a roll at £8.95 each, thinking that for that price it would be something special. It is fair... More

There are better pubs and bars in Edinburgh. More of a rowdy soccer and rugby bar than anything. More

I went inside to get a drink only to be told we weren't allowed back into the courtyard, stood for ages waiting to get back to see band only... More

Drinks are pretty good here. They have Free food nights on Wednesday for SR card holders. It really depends on the time if you are going to get food. HAHA. Also, most of their events they hold don't end up being how they advertise them. They have pub-quiz on Tuesday and it is a blast! So, great bar. It is... More
