The Kilderkin - Edinburgh, City of

My husband and I attempted to visit this restaurant when we saw that the door was open and they were advertised as being open for brunch. However, the bartender rudely told us to leave, using profanity. It would have been more appropriate for him to simply inform us that they were not yet open, rather than resorting to swearing. A simple apology and explanation would have sufficed.

The bar is decent, but there are better options nearby. The biggest issue is their inconsistent opening hours – they either open late, not at all, or close early, making it difficult to plan a visit without the risk of disappointment. It's unfortunate, as I fear they may end up closing for good after trying everything to stay afloat.

Fantastic place to grab drinks in Edinburgh. Felt like a locals place and escape from the mob of tourists. Helpful staff and great atmosphere.

Saw this place on the way back from a show at Dynamic Earth and thought it looked good for drinks before getting the train. The drinks and the place were average, nothing specific to say there, but it was the pompous arrogant bartender that really defined it. Drank up, moved on, wont go back.

Anti American establishment. Ordered beers and was harassed by the bar tender for being american, note the man needed a shower and a shave clearly he stunk. We then left without getting our beers and we’re yelled at “don’t come back stupid Americans” don’t come here
