We had a lovely work evening dinner here this evening. Hannah looked after us and we had a lovely time - never an issue all night and she was checking in with us to make sure we had evening we needed. A really fantastic staff member, she deserves all the credit in the world. Thank you!
T. P.
Had an absolute blast here. The staff were amazingly bright, bubbly and fun. Shout out to Sara, Will and Hannah for making us feel so welcome on a busy Friday night and for having banter with us!

We booked the cocktail masterclass with Martin. It was great fun and the cocktails were very tasty. Would recommend to anyone wanting a great activity/venue for a birthday!
B. A.
Came in for an impromptu drink with friends when visiting the city during the Fringe. Great day made better by excellent service and cocktails. Aperol spritz only £6 as well! Would and will recommend
E. M.
We had a fabulous dinner and drinks here on Tuesday before a gig, highly recommend! Great food, lovely venue and fantastic service from Will!
S. S.
When I arrived, I was not sure whether to seat myself or wait to be seated. Guy behind till was not really interested in my question, but eventually pointed at a table I could sit at. The rest of the staff were lovely. My waiter was very polite and checked my order. Food and drink delicious. There is a great choice of food. Would come back again.
L. L.
We had an amazing Christmas party at ABO Exchange. The food was excellent and could not fault the service either.
H. M.
Lovely place, hannah helped us get what we needed with no issue what’s so ever. Amazing service would definitely recommend.
Z. N.
Been here loads and always enjoyed- most recent visit was hosted by Ciara and she was such a good server. Great food, and such great experience at a central location. Thanks Ciara, and thanks All Bar One!
M. B.
Spent the afternoon in All Bar One catching up with pals. Great venue and staff could not have made us feel more welcome. Highly recommended.
K. V.
Martin hosted our cocktail making class for our hen party! He had such amazing customer service but was willing to have some fun and banter with us. The cocktails were amazing and made the wholes experience worth the journey from Ireland. Thank you!!!
r. w.
Lovely outside tables in the centre if Edinburgh. There was a bit of a hitch with our voucher, which was eccellenty resolved by William
D. G.
My partner and I came in for something to eat and a drink before a gig at Usher Hall across the road, and it was so nice - music was really loud and we’re both autistic so we were a bit unsure if we were going to stay, but our server (receipt said the name was Will I think) was really lovely and friendly and took good care of us! Chips were amazing too.
A. H.
Enjoyed our visit here, sat outside in the sunshine. Table service, ordering our beers through their app. Quick service after ordering. Busy place outside and in.
D. S.
Great drinks tonight.
We been looked after well. Thank you Martin & The Team .
F. E.
came here after the Van Gogh exhibition and wow! was served by Blain and James, very helpful and made me laugh whilst serving me. I shall absolutely be coming here again!
M. L.
Booked a cocktail making class yesterday with 6 friends & it was so much fun. Niall was a great host showing us how to make the 3 cocktails we had chosen & we had lots of laughs along the way. Would definitely recommend this at All Bar One 😀 …
c. w.
Really lovely inside; the staff were great! I wasn't fond of the crab taco I ordered; crab was frozen. We instantly wished we ordered the nachos when we saw the next table eating them- would go again just to try them.
A. S.
Really enjoyed our Christmas team night out. The venue was very festive, food delicious and service was excellent. The table was in a position that allowed plenty of room for everyone so no squeezing past other tables. Would recommend for a great night out.
D. W.
Wonderful experience. Lovely food, Great atmosphere. Perfect for a nice meal before theatre. Excellent prices for food and wine. The staff were just a delight and made for such a nice visit. Highly recommended.
C. P.
A delicious dinner in a warm relaxing atmosphere. Friendly waiting staff, I’ll be visiting again.
M. M.
Lovely food. Sara was very friendly and helpful.
S. A.
Although the drinks were very nice, the outdoor covered area is great and when I booked the table the communication was fantastic from the staff and no complaints there, however the ordering of drinks however on the App took far too long to arrive, 30 mins on average twice... we then had to order more straight away to predict when they would arrive. No reason was given but process definitely needs streamlined especially as August will be a prime month with customers.
S. I.
Our server Sara was brilliant. Great experience
R. F.
Full to the brim of bloody good vibes. Cracking set a staff who go above and beyond for anything you ask for (like seriously ask them to do anything and they’ll do it...genuinely anything)
Went in for a glass of vino with the wife and a couple of juices for the wee ones, and the girl who served us served us with a 5 star smile! Sadly I didn’t catch her name (Carol? Cassie? Callie?), the bartender James kept the kids entertained with a joke and a couple of silly faces (:p) and as always Martin was there to capture everyone’s attention with a tale from the past.
Will certainly be back to this quaint wee boozer as soon as I get the chance! Thanks All Bar One!
S. K.
Could not recommend more! Such a fun time! Great atmosphere and dab customer service. Martin is an absolute dream leading the master class (and he's pretty great to look at too) great place to spend a few hours.
S. P.
Decent food and drink great service..
However spoilt by the noise from the drinking side of the venue...
*Thanks for reply..but no need to discuss further...if returning will chose earlier slot when less busy.
Food was good and staff attentive..
E. C.
Had a wonderful cocktail making class with Martin for my friends Hen Do, he explained everything really well and made sure we were having fun, we had such a good time would definitely recommend!
e. p.
A very nice experience at All Bar One Exchange. Our server Tom TT was very helpful, we really enjoyed both our drinks and food! Will definitely be back soon! Thanks Tommy <3
C. B.
Visited for lunch, was served by Jason who was very helpful and attentive.
P. M.
good place for drinks and food, nice atmosphere, the team always tries to make your evening or lunch special, I definitely recommend it :)
j. m.
Good night out with work colleagues but menu wasn't as good as they didn't have steak
M. C.
Nice cocktails and good food. Nice big space so it didn't feel crowded even though it was busy.
We sat outside and ordered using the app. Card payments only and table service.
C. I.
I booked a cocktail masterclass for my 21st birthday and we had a really nice evening. A few of us arrived a bit late and Martin was very accommodating. He was very good at explaining everything and made really nice cocktails. We had plenty time in between to drink our cocktails and have a chat. Thanks again Martin for a lovely evening, we would recommend this to anyone who wants to have a fab evening!
V. D.
Fantastic Breakfast & Coffee
Staff very friendly ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
e. “.
Went as a group. Lots of space. Lovely setting. Spiced lamb meatballs from tapas menu were fab. Nachos home made and everyone enjoyed. Tapas macaroni perfect for a small appetite. The lads who had the burgers scoffed the lot so have to assume they were tasty. Will be going back.
R. S.
Great food in a nice bar setting. The chimichiri steak squewers were really tasty.
L. P.
We've just had a great breakfast here, eggs royale with avocado extra, for me, and haggis and pork sausage sandwich for my partner, all very tasty and served by friendly Ciara, also nice and clean interior
A. S.
You know what u r getting from an allbar one. The coffee was great, the food was super tasty, the staff were really helpful. I had planned to do some work, but the wifi connection was not suitably stable.
P. Y.
I really like this bar. They have a good selection of wines and beer. A nice selection of food. The food and wine deals when on offer are usually very good value for money. Friendly, smart and tidy staff. Much much prefer this one to the other ABO in Edinburgh.
R. F.
Came in to quench a thirst, had an excellent time and el vino certainly did flow! All of the staff were brilliant and very very accommodating . Will certainly be back in future! Thanks All Bar One!
L. O.
I was here for work drinks on a Monday night. There was a reserved table for 15 of us and it was pretty quiet in the bar other than us so I was amazed how long it took to get our drinks order, at least 20 minutes if not more. I'm just glad that the gin and tonic with coriander was worth the wait.
The place was nice and clean and I watched the other bar staff dusting and keeping busy which is nice to see.
M. W.
I reserved a table for a leaving do of a colleague last wk. My equiry e mail as well as subsequent e mails with changes to the booking were all dealt with promptly. I have never been this particular branch of All Bar One and this branch was equally as lovely with it's decor as its George Street counterpart. The service by the bar staff were friendly and professional. Very happy with my decision choosing All Bar One Exchange.
W. o. S.
This is a good option if you just want to enjoy a few standard bar drinks and nibbles with friends at the weekend because unlike many other bars in this area there are usually plenty of seats. The decor is pleasant and bright, the toilets are clean, and the staff are friendly.
S. X.
Had a lovely chicken burger with some sweet potato fries! Cocktails were amazing and Surprisingly fast despite the busyness and new Covid style of service, which was executed brilliantly! Couldn’t be happier 🙌🏻 …
S. R.
My regular place for eats and drinks before concerts in the Usher Hall. The food is good and reasonably priced. My only adverse comment is ... Not preferred at 1700 hours when the local office staff invade and noise levels rise ... especially on a Friday but it soon calms again
C.
The Classic Burger was as delicious as ever. Every bite, a taste of heaven! Mind you I have been on lockdown for the past few months. However, I did try the other burgers available, but, they weren't as yummy!
U. M.
Absolutely loved the pad thai, will be back!
D. S.
All Bar One has been my "work local" for years - it's overall very good, although I wouldn't recommend it on a Friday night before eight as it will be absolutely heaving. It's a great spot to meet someone for a business lunch or to have drinks on a quieter night. This place really comes into its own in the summertime, when everyone spills out onto the picnic tables and it feels more like an outdoor party than a pub.
N. C.
Martin and Will, two of the staff, were absolutely brilliant. From the drinks, to the food, to the chat, everything was great. Thanks, guys.
S. O. (.
Lovely design inside. Great staff and selection of food and drinks as wwll as types of seats. Great service and bathroom is maintained very well. Only issue is amount of food on plate in comparison to cost. Having said that though, its delicious!
G. M.
Friendly reception, staff dealing with Covid protocols very well, I felt relaxed and able to enjoy myself. Excellent draught IPAs and wines (Good Gins too) and a really tasty meal. Thanks very much!
A. W.
Best cocktail making experience! Martin was a legend, we had so much fun!
E. R.
We had an excellent time here! We did the cocktail masterclass, the drinks and food were amazing, it was a very merry and enjoyable day for the five of us 😁 big thanks to the bartender!! 🥂 we will be back! …
J. P.
Festival Square is great location for an All Bar One with plentiful inside and outside seating. Not inexpensive! Just off Lothian Road so close to lots of public transport options (or taxi if you must) which is good given no-one wants to drink and drive.
P. M.
Lovely atmosphere and food. Niall was really nice and took good care of us.
K. M.
Nice friendly pub. Bit pricey but then it's in centre of town so to be expected.
K. L.
Came here for my mums hen do and Niall was absolutely brilliant, lovely and patient with all of us newbies making cocktails. 🐓💜 …
A. A.
Very good place to spend an evening with your friends. Well placed and good service............ The plethora of beers and other drinks here, are really good. Food is good, especially the spicey ones. Value for money and time. Recommended strongly!!!
K. S.
I prefer this all bar one of the two we have in Edinburgh, it has a much more London feel, could be to do with all the suits who converge here post work for drinks. It's a mixed crowd and always a good atmosphere. There's a great outside bit to sit when Edinburgh decides to shine on its residents. It's one of the largest terraces i've noticed in Edinburgh. Again, food is good pub food, and wine selection great. Located right next to the square outside the Sheraton Hotel, with its big TV screen, ideal for lazy summer sport watching.
N. M.
Lovely venue with friendly and helpful staff, very tasty food and a wonderful atmosphere fit for a family night out, drinks with friends or a place to chill after a busy day at work. Would definitely recommend!
F. R.
Martin was great at cocktail Making Class for a hen party! Had so much fun, thank you!
M. K.
Lovely place and atmosphere. Great food and cocktails. Place has been refurbished not long time ago and looks amazing. Fantastic staff and service. Well worth to try.
N. G.
Great service and delicious food. The place was quite quiet, the air conditioner was working and I felt very safe.
h. b.
Ciara was really helpful never complained about all our silly requests. Food and drinks all great. Good atmosphere
R. H.
Niall is PogChamp and not cringe, very nice staff, W+ratio+better than Shakespears
S. C.
Hadn't been in for a few months, and this looks like it's had a recent makeover - the seating areas and toilets both look like they've had a recent refresh so this is a pleasant place to spend some time. It's not especially cosy, although there are some booth type seats. decent cocktail and drinks menu plus the usual bar food type options. Usually some sort of deal on eg on menu, or cheaper cocktails on certain nights.
W. Y.
Great food and great service. Vicki took great care of us and made sure of an excellent experience.
S. M.

J. B.
Bar food. Not a restaurant but very good and cheerful. Great spot ..good outside area
K. D.
Not a bad place
Food was delicious drinks as you'd expect. The music was way too loud to have a conversation
Service at the bar was a bit slow
G. B.
Cool place to hangout. Weekends rush is easily manageable there as we can sit outside. Roads also is not nearby hence sound pollution free zone.
S. C.
Great outdoor seating area. Ordered via the app. So easy to use.
G. M.
Freezing cold to start with but eventually some member of staff got the message and turned the air con down. Food good and very pleasant staff nd very nice decor.
J. K.
It's a chain, so if you've been in one of these before you know what to expect. Basically an upmarket Wetherspoons, which is a bit like calling a Burger King an upmarket McDonalds. Still, if that's your thing, this place does it well, and it is located five minutes from the centre of town anyway, if you fancy moving on.
G. T.
Very nice bar, we had six small plates between 3 of us which was adequate and very tasty, very good attentive staff.
V. R.
Friendly service, tasty food! 10/10 recommend!

An amazing place to grab lunch and a cocktail. Cocktails are tasty and the food is amazing! Some of the best staff ever!

Covid friendly and more than accommodating for a couple of chaps looking for a drink.
Keep up the good work.
