We had a pint upstairs and when a table opened we were promptly seated in the downstairs which is very cooly lit by candles and has plenty of atmosphere.

The room itself was nice, clean, and comfortable. You need to register your vehicle if you park in their car park. Their restaurant and bar and great. I had the steak with peppercorn sauce and it was tasty. They offered local brews and scotch. You need to make a reservation with the restaurant as it can get full quickly. The room itself is more noisy as it is closer to the tracks. I wouldn't stay here again due to temperature, unable to keep windows open, no AC, and how loud the railway is. But it was cute.

From the outside it looks quite traditional and quite small, however looks can be deceiving. The main bar is quite large and has an extensive bar. It has a good selection of ales, including Deuchers, so I was very chuffed with that. The bar has a good amount of wooden tables, suitable for groups during lunches and dinners. The exterior is quite traditional and at times the bar, due to its size partly, does feel quite cold at times. The food on offer is mostly your normal pub group food and is not that expensive, but not that cheap. Defiantly worth a try if your in the area.

It is a very friendly and inviting pub and the bar has an impressive selection of lagers and ales and they select a 'malt of the month' which my friend religiously orders. They offer an impressive cocktail menu, including Cosmopolitan's and Mojito's, which are very reasonable at around £6.

It was a Monday, and trivia night, so it was crowded. Good food and good beer, trivia was hard. (Name the fast food chain with most outlets worldwide? Name the top ten grossing Tom Hanks live action movies. That kind of thing - didn't need to be Scottish to play). A huge bonus that we didn't fully appreciate until a week into the trip - they offered skinny fries, which we yanks think of as fries, as an alternative to the thick cut chips that are included in every meal in every restaurant in all of Scotland. Okay, we have not been seeking out Michelin restaurants, but I sure long for some mashed potatoes with my chicken sandwich. Also, really friendly staff at the Old Bell (because we had literally just arrived, we didn't have two pounds in order to join trivia night; they said no worries, and just added it to our food and drink bill). And great ambience - traditional Scottish pub, with food and beer. Check it out.

Highly recommend Tiles and if you're lucky enough to snag a window seat you've got drink, food & entertainment covered!

Right on the corner of the park and a bit away from the tourist nightmare that is the area near Edinburgh Castle, it was a great place to take a lunch break. Tiles has plenty of local beer options on tap. The IPA and lagers were both good. I also tried the fish and chips...battered, not breaded and they were also quite good. They use haddock which tends to be a thicker fish and it wasn't overwhelmed by the batter at all. Similarly, the chips were full of potato and perfectly fried.

Our server was a fun woman named Sid and she was just dripping with spunky personality. Friendly, fast, efficient and always smiling. She made our meal even getter just being herself. The fish and chips were tasty, hot and fresh. The real star of the day was the tomato soup. I've never tasted anything quite like it and I figure they make it in house.
