Milnes Bar — Restaurant in City of Edinburgh

Milnes Bar is a historic pub located in the heart of Edinburgh's city centre. The pub is named after Sir Hector Macdonald, a Scottish soldier who was known as "Fighting Mac" and was born in the nearby village of Rootfield. The bar has been a fixture of the city since it was first established in the mid-19th century, and is popular with locals and tourists alike.

Milnes Bar offers a traditional Scottish pub experience, with a range of beers, wines, and spirits available, as well as a menu of classic pub food. The pub is known for its warm and welcoming atmosphere, with friendly staff and a cosy interior that features exposed brick walls and wooden beams.

In addition to its regular menu, Milnes Bar also hosts a range of events throughout the year, including live music performances, quiz nights, and charity events. The pub is a popular spot for sports fans, with a large screen TV showing live sporting events on a regular basis.

One of the highlights of Milnes Bar is its outdoor seating area, which is located on a pedestrianised street and offers a great spot for people-watching and enjoying a drink or meal in the sunshine.

Milnes Bar is open year-round, and its friendly atmosphere and central location make it a popular destination for anyone looking for a traditional Scottish pub experience in the heart...

Wouldn’t recommend and wouldn’t come back. We had booked a table for 7pm for dinner on a Friday night. When we arrived we were put in the basement, alone, no atmosphere nothing and told to hurry up to order because they were closing the kitchen for the basement room at 7pm. We had to quickly make a choice. When ordering my burger the bar girl asked if I wanted onion rings. I asked if these were included and she said yes. Turns out they were extra. Food was very good so that’s the positive. No possibility of having a pudding as the kitchen was closed for us but not for upstairs so that’s just pure unfairness. No ice for downstairs for our drinks because they had already closed the bar downstairs but the waiter couldn’t be asked to go upstairs and get us some on one of the hottest days of the year in Edinburgh leaving us with tepid drinks. We hadn’t finished eating that the staff just came and cleared the table without asking us… We didn’t feel welcomed at all. Next time don’t take bookings if you can’t cater for your guests on a Friday night in the capital. The toilets absolutely reeked of urine which was...

Unhappy visit. Our group, five of us, booked a table on ground floor to watch a football match, to discover later that some of us, who also liked to have food, had to move temporary downstairs to eat, and this was not told to us at the moment of the booking. Apart this the service has been soooo slow, we waited 40 minutes (the pub was not full) for a sandwich and a burger, and again it was not communicated to us at the moment of the order, because we would have decided to not wait and seat together instead. After all, anyway we were trying to enjoy the time there, one of the managers approached us to let us know we should not wear football shirts and not to cheer when there was a goal. Well.. we were a group of five, 3 of us drinking coca cola only, only 2 of us wearing a football shirt, not even all football supporters, but he pictured us as almost dangerous. It was a ridiculous situation. Why do you show football match...
