Belushi's was a convenient restaurant that was associated with my hostel across the street. As a welcome gift I received a small free beer for staying at the hostel and a discount on my food order. You're able to do a mobile order and pay for your food there, but if you want the discount you have to order from the bar and show your room key. They were open pretty late so it was convenient for me to grab a bite with my adjustment to the time change still off. The burger was ok, it came with some gravy to dip my fries and burger in but I didn't use it. There are a lot of better places to eat in Edinburgh but I just went here out of convenience. They host a lot of daily events so I imagine those are fun to socialize and meet new people passing through. read more

Belushi's is a cool hang out spot in old town. They have a variety of liquor choices and drink and food specials Monday through Thursday. There are TVs at the booths where you can play PS4 video games. The customer service was great as well! Definitely a must try. read more

If your looking for a good burger and sides this is the place for you. If your looking for good service don't come here. We were staying at the hostel across the road so we had a 25% voucher for here. First they over charged us and we asked for it to be refunded. The manager first blamed his worker in front of us then blamed us for ordering in the wrong order. Took forever to give us the refund cause apparently they don't seem to know how to do one. Made us a bit annoyed before we got our food. read more

eeermmmm... it's hard to work out whether I like it or not, it brings back loads of memories of being able to get in places but whether I like it or not is a different kettle of fish. It caters for the hostel residence and the old football watchers so it's not particularly the same crowd every time, which makes it quite hard to gauge whether to go in.. I accidently went to the karaoke night on Thursday which was one of the worst things in the entire world, it was like a Chinese torture to be honest. Filled with people who really think they're the new Mariah Carey which isn't amusing, it's just saddening and embarrassing. read more

This place was a last resort since everything was packed in city center Edinburg. Its a hostel/bar/restaurant/american food? Its a bit confusing. Anyway my girlfriend and I got a mix and match platter. Took about an hour for the empty dining place to get our food. Everything was too greasy and the wings didnt even come out. I do not recommend the place. read more

This place almost makes me miss my back-packing days! If only there were a Belushi's in South America I'd probably not have come back. But unfortunately there wasn't, so my only experience of it was when some Oz friends were in Edinburgh for Hogmanay and they stayed here. The bar downstairs looks deceptively small from the outside, but it holds just over 100 people in total, and they also have a separate room which you can hire. In some ways, the décor's exactly what you'd expect from a backpacker hostel i.e. it's laid back, relaxed and comfortable, but there wasn't a hint of the shabby, grotty, run-down images that spring to mind when you picture budget hostel bars usually. Drinks are nice and cheap too, and the staff are always up for a bit of chat whilst they're making it for you. But the best thing is that they always have different things on every night of the week. Don't get me wrong, it's first and foremost a sports bar. But they also have live music on thursdays, open mic on saturdays (luckily I only spectate in that one) and "i-factor" on tuesdays, which is essentially a competition to see who has the best playlit on their ipod - if that's you, you get a free drink. If you haven't been yet, then go. Next time you're out for drink within walking distance this should be your starting point. read more

I know that it's cheap and bases its ethos on livening up backpackers, but that's why I like it. Belushi's sells itself as being good fun, and I have to agree. I've always had a good laugh when I've been here. I was delighted to find Belushi's in Edinburgh after my experience in Convent Garden (one day I'll review it and relive the magic). Down in the London Belushi's, my good time was largely to do with their great staff and my friends, but there is still a buzz about this place. I love to go travelling but when I can't, I like catching the buzz in Belushi's. It's bolshy and caters for the young, boistrous crowds it usually attracts, but if you take it for what it is - a young, carefree bar - then it's awesome. Their karaoke nights are cringeworthy but satisfying, and if you're up for a rowdy night out then it does the job! read more

Good place to catch a football game, bad place to look for a vegetable. We had nachos which were pretty disappointing but otherwise the food was standard bar fare and the fries were tasty. If you're staying in the attached hostel you get a nice discount. read more

If you're stuck at the Edinburgh train station, and you desperately need to watch a sports match (in my case, the World Cup cricket final), your nearby options are few. Enter Belushi's, an American-style sports bar. It is not a traditional English or Scottish pub (go to one of the pubs next door for that). They have 6+ large televisions in their three bar rooms, meaning that everybody can watch their own preferred sport (good thing too, since Wimbledon and a Formula 1 race were opposite the cricket). You'll need to go to the bar to order everything--no table service, you might get that at the 2 bars next door that don't have TVs--and the ambience is loud, but you might just make a friend while you cheer your team/car/tennis pro to victory. The friend I made happened to be a cricket-mad bartender from the pub next door! Be warned: the bathrooms are a long long way from the bar (up a staircase in an adjacent hostel run by the bar) so you'll need somebody to keep your spot while you take care of business. That's what you might call a design flaw for a pub. But if you need or want to hang out for 4 hours...no one will wonder why you have not bought food or give you an odd look when you only order one drink in an hour. That's Belushi's. read more

You wouldn't know I'm a resident in Edinburgh, the amount of time I spend in this backpackers' bar. Belushi's is an Aussie's dream, a hostel, right in the centre of town, with a lively bar and a load of Fosters on tap and they show live sports. The bar looks tiny, but holds a surprising amount of people, and has a really good travellers' party atmosphere. Everyone is up for meeting new people and generally pretty drunk so it's always a good laugh. Everytime I come here I have a great time, and normally end up pretty drunk. Most of the times it has been for the football, and there is always a great atmosphere for sports events without the accompanying aggression you sometimes get. The staff are really friendly and the prices are cheap so overall it's a great place to have a boozy night and meet a load of Aussies. Also if you're actually a tourist here, I've been told from friends that it is a good place to stay in, with competitive prices and clean, nice rooms available. Not much more you can ask for really read more

Came here on a pub crawl and was really surprised by the space inside--it did not look very big! We did a jagertrain (see picutures) and then hung out for a bit more--there was almost enough space for everyone to get a seat (we were a large group). They were playing all types of football (soccer) games and even had one screen showing the hockey playoffs in America (very surprising to us). Also, there was a live 2 person band (guitar and bass) that were quite good and played a lot of popular covers. read more

During Freshers Week Belushi's kept popping up and giving us free shot glasses. Apparently if you went to Belushi's with your free shot glass, then they would give you a shot in it. Great! So one night we did just so and actually had a good night. It is much more laid back than normal bars as it is part of a hostel. Everyone is all about having a good time, on the cheap. You can make friends with some random Australian back packers who swear you can go stay with them down under, but in reality you will never see them again. Surprisingly good for a relaxed, fun night out. read more

I have had bad, bad experiences in Belushi's! It's a total dive.....I know but I have to mention the elephant in the room, it's really not nice. It makes up in cheap drinks and great banter what it lacks in surrounding and cleanliness. But at the end of the day, if you're looking for a cheap and fun night out then you can't go wrong. Belushi's is amongst a handful of places you can get wasted in relatively cheaply. It serves it purpose well...but is definitely not for me! read more

Came here for breakfast on a Wednesday morning before catching a train to Wales. The dining room was completely empty, however we waited over 30 minutes and the food never came. Can't give a review of the food, even though I was very excited for the Scottish Resurrection. The only thing that ever came out of the kitchen was water and an orange juice. Don't waste your time with this place. Might as well eat at Burger King or M&S in the train station. That's where I'm headed now because the food never came after waiting 40 minutes. read more

Belushi's is one of my favourite bars in Edinburgh. It caters for a young, friendly and relaxed audience although because its located right below a backpackers hostel has people from all walks of life. Most of the clientele are travellers and on every day of the week you will find it a new and interesting person to chat to, although it also has plenty of regulars too. I would especially recommend karaoke on Thursday nights even if its not usually your scene. There is always a mix of talented singers and down right bad singers every week and its the sort of atmosphere where you dont feel as though you are being judged no matter what your performance! Belushi's also does a large range of cocktails (most of which I have tried!) and these are excellent. Ask the bar staff if you arent sure what to try. Speaking of the bar staff.....they are a friendly and feisty bunch, and there a few lookers among them too! Definately a good night, though mostly for a younger crowd. read more

Yes, we liked Belushi's. Nice pub, great atmosphere, had a really good time. I was here when it first opened, it would be cool to check it out now that it's been on the go for a while. Time to check out some 2 for 1 burgers, methinks. read more

Great food at an acceptable price, poor drinks selection, though. Shame about the service with a scowl, too.

Great place just next to Waverley Station. Has good selection of beers etc and cheap prices as well , never tried the food but always seems to be busy and food does look good. Very studenty and backpacking place as right at a busy hostel and very central. Shows sport on tv when it's on and great atmosphere. read more

Overpriced bar relying on a captive audience from the hostel upstairs. Nothing special.

Belushi's has a great feel about it. Being part of a youth hostel it is really easy-going, both its staff, clientele and way of service. Its cocktail menu is also amazing when you compare it with the prices of George Street. A solid favourite with me and all my mates. read more

Went here for lunch on a Saturday, the food was nice enough and the place had a good atmosphere. The staff were friendly but didn't seem to know what they were doing. Altogether, a good place to go if you're looking for a sports bar, but I probably won't be in a rush to head back. read more

Not a bad little spot really. Good central location with reasonably priced drinks. Quite the student/traveler hang out considering it's right under a hostel. Has a really good open-mic night too (Sunday nights I think) - saw some real talent there. read more

This is one of those places where you know no matter what night of the week you go, it'll be busy and an exciting atmosphere. Situated right off Waverly train station and below a big youth hostel, you get plenty of younger travellers for whom every night is Saturday night. The food is mostly US style - they do great burgers and pizzas at generous sizes and budget prices. They have a number of tv screens showing sport/music etc. The staff are usually foreign travellers themselves, which all adds to the atmosphere. It's a great place to meet people and remind yourself (if you're an Edinburgh local) of the excitment of the city. read more

great place to drop in for a little tipple or something to eat, suitable for day trippers in edinburgh for the day, students and tourists staying for a few nights, it is also a hostel and is a perfect location as it is 2 minutes walk from the main train station, so if your drunk you don't have very far to walk and for tourists staying in the hostel just a walk up the stairs! overall great atmosphere and very reasonable prices particularly for the centre of edinburgh;~) read more
