Great pub. Always a fantastic selection of quality Ale and good food. What's not to like!

The Cloisters Bar in Edinburgh offers a cozy atmosphere with a great selection of local beers. However, recent reviews highlight incidents of rude staff behavior, including a barman shouting at customers. Despite this, some patrons still praise the friendly service, great beer selection, and delicious food. With a mix of positive and negative feedback, it seems that The Cloisters Bar may be a hit or miss experience depending on the staff present during a visit. For those willing to take the chance, it offers a unique setting inside an old church and a true local pub vibe worth exploring.

Of some of the low-star reviews is clear that there is not enough space at the entrance of the closter to allow the passage of a millennial.

I visited this bar on a Sunday afternoon, as I had heard a lot of how busy the pub can come in the evening. from outside it looks like a bit.

I didn't know how many nice bars that would have edinburgh. they call it the natural suspicious glasswegian in me, but I didn't expect so much as I did.

One of the best pubs I know. The interior is not expert and the range of beer on the tap is impressive. I also enjoyed a gin and a lemonade that was one of the...

A very quaint pub that looks to have been part of the church next door at some point in history. The place definitely has a neighborhood feel with students from...
