Went to a club night for uni students and was totally appalled by how security was treating people. my mates were in the bathroom stalls together (as most girls do in the club) and security started banging on the door and yelling saying to get out which is honestly a scary experience as a girl. Bathrooms in clubs are safe spaces for women, and while the security explained that the policy was one person to a stall because he didn’t know if we were doing drugs or quote “having gay sex” (yes! he said that), it’s scary to have some guy banging on your stall and freaking out when you’re just trying to pee. when we got out he was stood waiting right outside and then he just wordlessly escorted us...
I don’t think I had ever felt looked down and just treated so “different” especially in an lgbt bar as they sell themselves. I’ve been there twice with some girlfriends and with my gf the 2nd time (only cuz I gave it the chance it was my imagination). I’m non binary and u guess I come across as trans; but I’d really not recommend this place to anyone. After that I’ve been asking in queer groups from uni and experiences aren’t that much different, they just sell them selves as lgbt, and apparently their drag events are a hit; but on a daily basis, no one would go to this place as a first option. There aren’t that many other queer options in the city, but believe me, all those are better. This...
Ordered two doubles and two shots at the bar, noticed that the bartender gave me the card machine without it asking me for a tip. The card machine will ask you if you’d want to give a tip or not, I usually would however I noticed it went straight to approx £38. I then found that the bartender had tipped themselves £5.06 on top of a £33 bill that I paid for. After complaining, they offered me a “free drink” instead of my actual money back. They essentially gave me drinks that I had paid for with my tip?? Again, happy to tip but don’t be cheeky.
Very unprepared people, the girl with short hair treating everyone bad, laughing and being sarcastic all time. Forced me to pay tip for her and because I refused she told me “this will be your last drink because I see that you’re not okay” I only got one beer and was perfectly fine. When I came back and gave her 4£ extra she didn’t say a word. I don’t recommend this place. Sure you got plenty more options of places with better customer service and people who really makes you feel welcome and safe.

I went to scotland as a school trip, and this was one stop of our golden mile. Drinks were neither to expensive nor really cheap, just the average Edinburgh prices for coktails. The service was really nice and talkative, we teached the barkeeper some german. The ambiente was perfect, a really beautiful dark room with pink LEDs. The pub was quiet and quite empty.
The atmosphere at this restaurant was positive, but unfortunately my partner was asked to leave by security while waiting for me to finish in the restroom. This situation was discriminatory and should be addressed. It is not fair to treat individuals this way, especially considering my partner is non-binary.
The waiter, sporting an Afro hairstyle and long hair, should work on being more friendly and offering a smile. He is just an employee and not the owner of the company.
I spontaneously stopped by this restaurant for a drink and ended up staying to watch the Glam Slam drag show. It was such a blast, and I can't wait to go back!

Been here twice, once to go dancing after pride and once to grab some pub food and hang out and read and journal. Both were great experiences :
Really poor music. DJ just focussed on techno of songs that aren't current and any songs that are decent are butchered
