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.

We found this address by chance because we wanted to have a drink in a local pub in Edinburgh!
We loved it: very welcoming and smiling staff, warm and lively atmosphere!
Place where all the Scottish residents meet to watch the matches and party so it was great to share a little moment with them!
Cheap drinks and very good beers, we recommend if you want to be immersed in the locals and have a good time 😄

Drove past a few times on the way to my son's place up Edinburgh, always liked the look of it. Popped in with my two sons for a quick pint and loved the look inside, definitely my kind of pub
Traditional with a lot of locals and a few visitors. Had a nice pint of T lager and very reasonably priced, I will return on my next visit

We visited the pub while our wives shopped at the yarn store nearby. Not the typical activities for visitors from the States but hey the beer choices were great and the bartender attended to business. Two patrons had their pups sleeping at their feet and the rest of the clientele was relaxed and chatting away. I'm not an expert on bars and pubs but this was a great place to cool down after a 30 minute walk and to enjoy the people of Scotland

The Artisan was exactly the kind of bar I was looking for when arriving in Edinburgh and happened to be just around the corner from my Airbnb. Came in during a football game which was fun to see all the excitement and came back each night during my stay. The bartenders were fantastic, great drink selection, good prices, and I adored the people I met. As a female, I felt very comfortable sitting by myself which can't be said for establishments back home. I will definitely be back, especially since they can pour a proper Guinness.

We were visiting from the United States and we never felt more at home - Friendly service, fun atmosphere, amazing drinks. We were also there during trivia night which was very fun. We will definitely be returning to this bar!

The pub is a diamond in the rough. Only last year they started accepting card payments! A local crowd of mainly men, with a few newbie locals and a younger crowd on the weekend. You will get a good laugh here if you can understand drunken scots.

Can highly recommend this pub it's not far from the usual tourist trail but far enough to not be affected by it. Excellent service from the bar staff when we were there great selection of quality beers and spirits.
Good lively atmosphere on match days with friendly banter from the Hibs locals.
Definitely recommended if your in the area.

We were a group of friends (more than ten) and sometimes it's challenging to find a place that seats us all. Well not here 😊 - a very nice and traditional pub. Coming from Finland, with plentitude of regulations, we were especially delighted to see dogs walking free in the pub 👍🏽

On the face of it a local football oriented male bar but actually very welcoming to all with also a strong Spanish connection. Good quiz every Sunday night.
