Went in here for some food and drinks yesterday. They had screens advertising £5 pizza Tuesdays but when I tried to order that the girl at the bar said that that wasn't deal they did anymore. Why the hell you advertising it then? Got a pizza anyway and it was pathetic for the £7/8 I paid. It was small, very bland, and very disappointing. The drinks were okay priced and not too expensive but no cocktails.

Loved this place. Have you ever been to a bar/pub in an actual library? This is so cool. The staff was professional and kind, and the atmosphere was really cozy. If you have the opportunity, take a seat at the tables at the second floor: you could go up for a wooden stair and enjoy your Todd and drinks amongst book shelves. Enjoy!

Nice location, good atmosphere, but do not order food. We had to wait over 1h for the first plates to arrive. Mostly cold. And just not good. Pizza wasnt even cooked. And it took another 20 minutes for the last plate to come in. Take a drink, enjoy the atmosphere, just do, not, order food.

As a student of Edinburgh University, you're bound to have visited Teviot at some point. Most of the functions and events through the University will be held in the building or students will arrange to meet here. There are 2 areas where you can buy food and drink, the Library Bar is where my friends and I frequent most. You don't need to be a student to be allowed in, but you do get a discount if you're a student!

The drinks are a good price and their food is good, given the stereotype of University food being mediocre, the Library Bar doesn't deserve this ideal. Food are freshly made and you can expect the same quality of service and food as you would from a restaurant. The aptly named bar is surrounded by bookshelves with glass panels displaying various aged, leather bound books. It's a very beautiful part of the building and definitely fits the purpose of catering mostly...

We were in Edinburgh for 3 days and the last night we went with 3 Latin friends to eat and drink there. When we were alone on the 2nd floor we began to play mime. One of my friends had a beer that she had bought during the afternoon where she kept it in her backpack at all times, when at one point she took it out to imitate "homero Simpsons". At that moment, staff members come up and tell us about the beer where we explain that we are playing and he tells us that it is not fun for him, 2 minutes passed and the guard came to throw us out of the place, without any explanation. We apologized, but the treatment was very discriminatory, I personally felt that they treated us like criminals when we are not. They forced me to drink my gin quickly and leave the place. It was really a very unpleasant and...

We went on a trip to Scotland with some Latin friends, we were in this place for lunch and then we went at night to have dinner and drink something. We were playing mimes (guessing children's movies) when for no reason a staff person came up to tell us that he didn't find our game fun, we apologized and explained that it was just a game, but that we wouldn't do it anymore, to not bother In a matter of seconds the guard appears, and without further explanation he asks us to leave the place, in a very rude and impolite way. Without understanding much, we left the place. But very disappointed by the bad treatment (discrimination). I do not...
