Dietary restrictions: They had two gluten free beers on tap and a cider so I was very impressed. Friendly staff and cool vibes.
Nick Edwards
Cool venue. Great beer.Can't comment on the food as I only had the ale.
Michael David
Decent pub but their no pint glass policy is stupid and unpatriotic.

Scott, the bar tender, was amazing. Friendly environment, drinks reasonably priced. The food was great and by far my best place of the evening.

5 stars and maybe starting to fade a bit. So many do. The bar is amazing. The beer is amazing...big kudos to the fabulous 6% house lager and American hop head beers. However, when you get to over £9 for a third of beer on the board that is not rare world class aged German or Belgium (or even aged Scottish) ...it risks becoming a bit silly. Stay strong Hanging Bat!

What a great little place this is. A really excellent range of local and not so local beers. Staff were really friendly and helpful and the food was really good. It was really busy when we arrived around 7pm but was a bit quieter from around 8:00pm onwards, although it was a Thursday evening. Would definitely call again next time we're in town.

Great selection of beers; everything from sours, stouts and porters to pale ales. Friendly staff and vegan- and allergy-friendly menu. The kitchen accommodated my girlfriend's egg and milk-protein allergies with no issues. The Nachos with vegan cheese was delicious.Vegetarian options: Most dishes available as vegan and vegetarianDietary restrictions: Most dishes available as vegan. No separate kitchens, but utensils cross-contamination taken seriously. Allergy ingredients were not marked on the menu, but the menu clearly stated that you should notify staff regarding any dietary needs.
A fantastic bar - with both a great beer selection but also tasty food, and good cocktails.Mostly keg beers - craft beer. Not a huge place. The smoked meats are cracking.

A cool dark atmosphere with a wide selection of beers and tasty, yet simple food. Kids were welcome and enjoyed the hotdogs.

I became a regular there during the five days of my stay in Edinburgh. The place bewitched us, we got addicted. Every member of the staff is super professional: they respect the customer, have a great sense of humour, they are super friendly, and they create an amazing, cozy atmosphere. I loved the food. Their fish&chips is extraordinary, their signature burger is delicious, just like the beef stew. AND the cocktails!!! Best taste, quality and value.Kid-friendliness: They are happy to welcome everybody:kids, grandparents and everybody else.

Lovely and cozy pub with a selection of craft beers, some of which are also from cask. Beers are a bit on the pricey side and drinks have to be ordered at the bar. Food is okay but nothing out of the ordinary. Loved that place.
Robert Hyland
A great bar / cocktail bar. Fantastic atmosphere and very trendy styling. Excellent range of draft craft beers which change regularly, but this is much more than al beer house. There is a good range of cocktails too, which is great because that invites a very different crowd from the typical bearded beanie hat wearing craft beer aficionado. Food is typical bar fare - sandwiches, burgers, wings - but made with care and at a better level than most. Someone has put a lot of thought into this place.
Fantastic real ale pub, definitely
