Whistlebinkies — Restaurant in City of Edinburgh

GIVE YOUR STAFF FIRST AID TRAINING! A man fell off a bar stool during my visit, cracking his head against the concrete floor. The staff showed an atomising amount of incompetence, pulling the man off the floor straight away despite risk of further injury. They proceeded to throw the man out of the pub with no further assessment of his medical state. When I informed a member of staff that it was dangerous to do this, due to the major head injury the man may have suffered, I was told he was drunk and had a “sober” friend with him who could deal with him (who they also chucked out). I wonder why the man who was injured was served alcohol in the first place, if the staff deemed him to be too drunk? Happy to take his money but not to help him after a serious injury, not a good look! Myself and my friend tried to help the man, but were told by the staff not to follow him (we did try but could not find him, I hope he is well). Drunk or not everyone needs to be treated with compassion and respect! I hope your staff receive first aid training, or at the very least can show some level of basic human compassion in the...

Staff friendly most of them .Except manager not a nice guy dresses like a scruff covered in tattoos, a mess ,groups are not to bad but that manager could not organise a piss up in a brewery, long wait between groups which people just go away and find some where else if I owned the place would not be pleased but he does not worry .locals he does not worry about because he knows he has all the tourist that come in I dont know what they think but the place is a dump lights hanging of the wall ,air conditioning unit falling down health and safety need to see that, place needs a good clean glass left lying from the night before ,would not like to be in it if there was a fire a death trap .Bouncers are very friendly even say good night thats more I can say about the manager he never speaks never says good night he just stares at you though you have killed his son not a nice atmosphere. Will not be back thank goodness I did not take friends that were down from Aberdeen they probaly thought that I have really gone down in life .If I was tourist or locals give...

How was Whistle Binkies you ask, Well, It’s the only place I would venture to any time after 21:00 and stay there at present until 05:00 but normally only open till 03:00. The staff are so friendly and helpful and kind, the bouncers are the same and very courteous, I have got friendly with Vlad and Pedro and they do a fantastic job and have everyone’s safety assured and the age group is all welcoming from 18 - unlimited! What a great atmosphere, I always meet amazing people in Whistle Binkies and everyone has a story to tell, so for me it’s the best meeting place in Edinburgh, so please pass on my good wishes to your staff including Megan behind the bar he is so cool and also young James from down Dunbar way and the beautiful lady and her daughter that I met there on Sunday night.
