Ordinarily great food but the Bavarian stew had very little meat in it and just a lot of cabbage (sauerkraut I'm sure) in a watery stock and no butter for the half baguette

Always love Brass Monkey, and this was my first time booking. I had to move the time of my reservation as I was stuck in Newcastle and the guy on the phone was really warm and funny and more than happy to move things around for me. The brunette member of the bar team with the fabulous eyeliner was also especially lovely. Thanks again gang

Excellent service from booking and checking booking, and request for specific area, all accommodated with enthusiasm, to lovely warm service on a busy night. Great venue to watch rugby matches on TV. We will be back.

Great venue and staff! The music can be a little loud at times which makes it difficult to hear what people are saying but other than that it's a great place to have a pint

Great place to pop in and have a few beers and a bite to eat. Good atmosphere but a bit loud due to the flat surfaces around. Enjoyed a friendly meal and beers.

Didn’t eat as had to leave early due to family emergency after a couple of pints of the excellent Long White Cloud. This is my favourite food/beer bar in Edinburgh however, the recent decision to keep the disabled toilet locked and expect customers to ask staff for the key shows a disappointing lack of respect for, and empathy with, disabled customers so I may stop visiting.
