The Pear Tree

Nice-looking pub with a very generous outdoor area. Let down by the grumpy staff and poor food. We were charged £9 for a toastie, which was served in a cardboard container (we were sitting inside), with no side salad or chips. We were told they were "busy" despite being the only people in the back sitting area; outside was also fairly quiet. £12 for mac and cheese with no garlic bread (as mentioned on the menu), also served in a cardboard box. I ordered fries, but they never arrived. I honestly feel like this was the worst pub meal I have ever had. Not helped by the staff looking and acting like they wanted to be anywhere else. Worth a visit for a drink on a sunny day, just avoid the food.

The Pear Tree was our 11th stop in a tour of over 17 pubs around Edinburgh. Here we had the house draft - the Alchemy Pear Tree Summer Ale, made with pears from the Pear Tree (hence the name) in the outside courtyard. Unusual in that it has a courtyard (beer garden). this made for a very pleasant sit in the sun as we enjoyed our pints.

good pub for watching sports (they show the f1 even) but a bit expensive for a pint. they do have student and uni staff deals. no dogs allowed inside or outside, but a nice big outdoor beer garden perfect for when the weather’s nice. decent food as well if you need a bite

really good vibes in the beer garden, perfect place to go in a nice evening, they have space for live events and overall really nice vibes outside and inside, usually pretty busy in the summer evenings. price not too bad probably average for Edinburgh. only downside is the Guinness didn’t come in a guinness glass just a plain one.

Great pub/restaurant. Food is good and the vibe's great You can book a table on a match day and enjoy it with food and drinks. Must visit

Gorgeous outdoor seating area especially during summer, lovely indoor area too with lots of good seating. Really great service, good chill vibes, great to go with anyone and everyone.

We walked into the beer garden with a dog and my family, and a very rude server with a bald head and a moustache who looked like he’d rather be anywhere else than serving the public walked past, made no eye contact and just said “no dogs”, there was no welcome, no politeness at all about the man. Would not recommend him staying in hospitality. Not to mention there was already a dog happily sitting with other patrons. If this is the initial greeting that everyone gets then repeat business will be hard for you to get.

Had a great time watching Scotland beat Wales in rugby! My burger was excellent
