The Persevere Bar

Been going to the adjoining Polish restaurant for years not realising they offer a Scottish menu in the bar next door. Firstly, it's a traditional old pub that's immaculately kept. There are plenty of TVs so it's great for watching live sport. There's a decent range of whiskies for locals and tourists a like, as well as beers (including several Polish options), wines and cocktail specials. The food is excellent: hearty, generous portions and cooked with care and attention. My chicken Balmoral was brilliant. Although Edinburgh has an amazing food scene, I think it lacks really good, homely pub food - and that's what you get at The Percy - and it's very favourably priced.

We had a Lovely pub lunch and drinks here today, service was really good, big old fashioned style pub, good beer and gins. Simple but extremely tasty menu. Everything you would want from pub grub. Fish and chips was excellent. Batter was crispy and fish fresh. Only criticism I have was the Size of the gin glasses, would have liked a larger glass, but thats just a personal preference. Extremely cheap, had to double check that it was correct as was just over £20 for two gins with mixers and fish and chips. excellent value!! Would definitely return for food and drinks.
