What User likes about The Hanging Bat:
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.
