Cold Town House 4 Grassmarket, Edinburgh EH1 2JU

"A brilliant location for a "cool" bar. Visited here for a few drinks (food is also served here). The staff on arrival where very welcoming and were happy to accommodate us on the roof terraces. Suggest booking a table If you know you are going to visit to avoid disappointment. Our server was happy to discuss the menu and choice of available drinks. We ordered two cocktails one of which was the Iced tea that was delicious and well presented. Also tried the home brewed beer here that was also a fresh larger. Would recommend giving that place a visit, rather expensive but well worth it."

"I recommend the place, very nice terrace and Castle views. I have been working in the hospitality industry for many years and I would like to comment about the staff. I had lunch in the restaurant, Holly my waitress, was new but didn't look like that, she was very efficient, dynamic and kind. She was giving a very good service not just to me but to all the tables around. The waiter in the bar was very professional, he prepares very nice cocktails. The food was nice and respected my allergies request. The 2 Italian cooks I have to say didn't look professional, in my opinion, speaking in Italian between them but loud that I could hear all the conversation, they were eating with their hands in front of customers, (when still was quiet) and one of them was asking the waitress to bring the plates to the tables not in a nice way."

"Booked this place solely on having a view of the castle and we lucked out by having a table with a perfect view. Ordered 2 pizzas which were lovely and didn’t take all that long. Staff were very good and attentive checking on us during the meal and asking whether we wanted more drinks, can’t complain about the staff, food or venue. Amazing!"

"It did not disappoint. I really wanted to come to this bar as for the many good reviews I have read. It was hard to find a table even with the booking. I had to rearrange a bit our plans, but it was totally worthy. We were at the rooftop bar. Great atmosphere and amazing view of the castle. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Service was quick and attentive. We had a couple of drinks and a pizza, which I must say, it was very good! Coming from Naples, it’s difficult form me to find good pizza, and this was so good. Perfect dough and fresh ingredients. They have a lot of vegan and gluten free options as well. We had really good time. Must come back!"

"A great pub on many levels including nice roof terrace bar with a view of the castle. The roof top bar also has a van parked on it where they serve the drinks and cocktails from. There are also old ski gondolas you can sit in. They brew a nice selection of beers to try instead of the usual commercial fare. We didn't try the pizzas while we were there but they looked and smelt amazing."
