Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Have visited a couple of times before and enjoyed the ambience of the bar. Very welcoming, good Covid security. Huge portion of really meaty mussels as a starter, fish pie was really tasty, good value wines plus the government £20 contribution via "eat out to help out". All in all a very enjoyable experience

Had read the reviews and was looking forward to exploring Leith- very limited menu. Table was before 6pm but fish of day finished. Chose only actual fish dish - battered haddock - extremely greasy, batter heavy.
Desert rhubarb crumble panacotta- rhubarb so uncooked unable to cut. Young staff pleasant but certain member very abrupt and unable to even finish any request. Wish we had stayed at Fischers.

Treated to a meal here from my bosses for my birthday. We were sat at a lovely table by the window, the waiting staff were lovely.
Oysters were amazing! Will definitely be back for them at some point. Mains were brilliant, my monkfish was the best I've ever had.
All in all love this place. Thanks for a lovely night!

I love this place.
I come to Edinburgh every year and always come back. The menu is honest. The beer is well kept. They have music.
I said the menu was honest, but the food is beautifully presented and an absolute gem. Never disappointed and the fish couldn't be fresher.
One of my favourites. Anywhere.

My wife and I called into the Shore Bar for a quick drink before our lunch booking at The Kitchin. Great, friendly atmosphere with well-kept beer and polite, attentive staff. Looked like this traditional old pub had seen some rip-roaring sing-a-longs on the piano in the bar, and the steady stream of regulars were testament to the pub's obvious charms. We'll definitely return!

We had good fish and chips and mussels and the traditional salmon pie. We didn't have a reservation but they were kind to receive 3 people. Looked like a very local pub to eat fish and seafood.

The Shore Bar is on the waterside in Leith. Our annual visits to Edinburgh in the Spring always include a walk down the Water of Leith Path to lunch there on Sunday afternoon. The food is good, the surroundings perfect for lovers of the traditional pub and the atmosphere and service very good but most people go at this time for the excellent piano and bass duo playing jazz. Brian Kellock is a fine inventive pianist and has a great partnership with Kenny Ellis on bass. There’s also jazz on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. The bar is right next to the Fishers restaurant and owned by the Fishers Group.so the food is not cheap but very good.
