Our first evening in Edinburgh during our Trip in Scotland. In fact, our first evening in Scotland. We were looking for some decent dinner, nothing fancy, and a tasty beer to go with it. We found this in the Murrayfield Bar, which also offered a homely atmosphere and a friendly staff. The menu offers a deal which gets you 2 main courses for 9,99£. So we ordered beer battered fish and shrimps, they both came with chips, peas and homemade tartar sauce. I liked the food, it stood up to the price, and served as a cushion for the beer to come after it. I think Murrays Bar is a good place for a quick & decent dinner, I specially enjoyed the atmosphere there, despite the array of TV screens showing sports programs(no sound). But hey, it’s a sports bar(it is, isn’t it?)!

Nice pub with good pub-food and selection of beers. A friendly local but heaving on match days.

This is an ok-pub, but you wouldn’t go out of your way to par-take of their tasty beverages. The staff are friendly enough… relative when compared to the pub at the other end of Roseburn Rodeo Drive, but I just cannot get a feel of love and undying affection for this place. I live not 100m away and have on a ‘few’ occasions found myself walking through their doors, but at the end of the day it’s just a place that serves booze. They do put on a free buffet of finger food around 5pm, and this is to their absolute credit, but it still doesn’t give me a warm gushie feeling inside. Sorry. As I said with my review of the other place(and I don’t mean Cambridge, but rather the Roseburn Bar), as a local I want a pub I can walk into and instantly feel at home… and loved. Roseburn is giving me nothing at present, and as a consequence we’re going to have to move!!! C’mon Roseburn pubs, improve your game!!!

This is a pub that is surely among the busiest in Edinburgh when the rugby is on at Murrayfield. It serves as a meeting point for friends before going on to either another bar or into Murrayfield stadium itself. Me and a few friends popped in here for a couple of pints before going on to see Scotland play Italy last year. The décor of the pub is as you would expect, very much orientated towards rugby and before the game you get a great atmosphere among the supporters and really vibes you up for the game ahead. The pub does a good range of beers and spirits and also serves food throughout the day. There are plenty of TVs around the pub and there are two projectors which are used for big sports games.

I used to live in this part of Edinburgh for a number of years and so I’ve been to this pub on loads of occasions. Its located in Roseburn close to Murrayfield. It is a decent sized pub with loads of televisions and 2 projectors to show sporting events. The food is no frills, but its fine and very well priced. The price of drinks at this pub is pretty good too and there are normally drinks promotions going on. If you are in town on a rugby weekend, this place will be packed and there should be a good atmosphere.

The Murrayfield bar is one of the busiest pubs in Edinburgh when the rugby’s in town. With plasma tv’s all round the bar and large beer garden its the best place to be if you dont have a ticket to the match. With the pub being mins walk from Murrayfield stadium its great meeting point for rugby fans from both sides. The pub is also ideal for anyone wanting a starting point before heading into town when the rugbys not on. Being on one of the main routes into town there plenty of buses and taxis constantly going past
