While I was working in Edinburgh, I took my wife to this restaurant and she absolutely loved it. We ended up going back three times before heading back to our hotel. The restaurant is really cool and has a great selection of interesting beers. Overall, it was a fantastic experience. View all feedback.
What 19Plum67 doesn't like about The Hanging Bat:
Had the misfortune of visiting this place, ordered a beer, paid the man what was a slightly above average price for a pint and recieved a HALF, avoid at ALL costs, rip off merchants preying on the unwary, was only after ordering saw the signs saying no pints, pure con artistry, should be shut down View all feedback.
I really like the hanging asked. it's a real beer pub without "old man style '. although I'm not a big bearder, I love that they can taste 1/3 pints of different laymen and beer (or smaller quantities to see how art of beer they like. the staff are very friendly and really knowledgeable about the animals. there is also a large selection of bottled beer and obstbier. the best is that if they are no longer lust on beer they have a huge selection of spirits, namely gin and are happy to recommend many options to taste.

Probably the best place for beer in Edinburgh, it is easy to understand why it's packed most of the time. The Hanging Bat has a great atmosphere and a fantastic selection of beers... and cider (which I always favour, not being a beer fan myself). If you want to be able to grab a table, go there early.
Great selection of craft beers! Probably the best in Edinburgh! They do a great job of the food too!
Oh, now we’re talking. Head and shoulders above anywhere else around Lothian Road and no discredit to the competition the Hanging Bat is a beer cafe (I’d just say a very distinguished pub, in truth) with 20 cask and keg taps and hundreds of bottled beers backing them up. The owners have created a dim and trendily homely space on two levels with a long bar along the left as you come in. Go on a Friday or Saturday night and you’ll see the following they’ve established a following enjoying quality beers constantly on rotation, a relaxed atmosphere, and an unpretentious attitude toward good service. Even though the taps change frequently, look out for the Tempest Rye IPA...read more
