Visited the Bunker as I waited for my train from Waverley Station, which was perfect as its only a 2 minute walk straight into the station. I was served by Megan, who was lovely and helpful in choosing a gin! Definitely recommend a visit when in Edinburgh!

Great staff fairly priced and always a brilliant banter. Love this wee place as the usual crowd at the bar and the staff are always up for a laugh and giggle makes it feel at home everytime.

D. F.

B. B.

Stumbled upon Bunker while looking for some shelter from the hoards of Christmas shoppers. A proper pubs' pub. The seating, the smell, the beer on offer. Staff were friendly and prices reasonable. Pool table if you need it. Expect this place to be busy during peak times.

This is my 'go to' place, especially after pub closing time. ALL the staff (even the door stewards!) are super friendly and set the vibe. Highly recommend this place to anyone that knew life before mobile phones & the Internet destroyed spontaneous fun & social interaction,a tragic rarity these days. (*it's old skool, basically, & brilliant for it). 11/10! Keep doing what you're doing 😎

D. C.

Nice, friendly atmosphere. The staff are charming, efficient and approachable. DJ is excellent, door staff are on the ball and the bar staff are charismatic and quick. The layout is easy to manoeuvre.

C. Ó. D.

Friendly staff and locals. One of the few places this side of town that's open until 3 during the week and isn't a club bar. Good for a few late night pints with friends without boom boom music. It's a bit grubby around the edges but sure after a drink or 4 you don't really notice that kind of stuff.

Z. C.

Really cool bar and excellent service!

R. C.

Nice staff, cheap drinks music can be too loud to talk a lot. This is only bad considering most of the pub is made up of tables and a very small dancefloor.

D. G.

Just a nice friendly place I use after work or to meet friends. Generally nice people and the bar and door staff are great. Very welcoming and you get looked after well.

L. T.

Lovely little hidden bar right by Waverley Station. Good range of drinks and friendly staff.

J. H.

There was a time I used to enjoy Pivo a lot more but of late it seems to have become a little tired and grotty. Once a place to try interesting beers it hasn't really kept up with the sheer number of beers available in other similar pubs. Staff have always been really friendly but I'm not sure what this place wants to be anymore - the last time I visited the playlist seemed just as confused jumping from The Smiths to some dance beats - a strange combination. It has a great location and the potential to be great again - it just needs a little TLC.

It's hard to get a beer in Edinburgh after midnight. After running through the city for about one hour we found this bar. Nice atmosphere, not overcrowded, music from the past millennium, reasonable prices, good beer selection.

C. L. F.

Went there to do some writing. Great atmosphere with good tunes and friendly staff. It's a hidden gem near the city centre that avoids a lot of the tourist traffic if other places.

J. B.

Nice compact little pub with great vibes. Bar staff were friendly and so were the bouncers. Open late as well which is a bonus.

K. C.

Amazing place with very friendly staff. Drinks are well priced and the pool table is good sized. Nice, unexpected dance floor as well.

A. M.

Great atmosphere. Fantastic Staff, if you want a good night out then go here !

N. C.

Arron runs his bar with efficiency, oodles of enthusiasm, populated by friendly staff who remember you drink Brockmans gin and LOVE your quizmaster panache. Go CHUNK for the win ! 😍

G. M.

Friendly staff, good priced drinks. Not the busiest but good for a chill evening

A. S.

Nice friendly place, good selection of drinks. Free pool Mondays and Tuesdays. Quizz night Tuesday.

M. O.

Great Staff, supports the same team as I. Knows Henrik Larsson. But best of all, great beer collection!

A. R.

Great atmosphere, the friendliest bar staff, and a great selection of beers. Perfect for a drop-in before catching the train, or a good night out. Try the passion fruit sour beer!

Y. A.

Small but busy pub open till 3am has a small dance floor and good music

L. M.

I've only ever been here when it's been quiet. Fairly chilled and an extensive choice of beer- what's not to like!

C. H. (.

Great late night bar with an eclectic crowd. Good selection of draft and spirits

P. P.

Not sure on the story here, it's 22:45 on a Thursday, the board on the wall says "Live Music 19-01 Thursdays", but not in effect. And no need, for the 4 customers in here, two of which are glued to their mobiles. Can't fault the service..

D. M.

Fun place to grab a few pints. Dancing area. Great staff. When I was here, I believe it was called Pivo.

L. H.

If staff can only smile more and be more respectful towards customers unstead of making them feel less of a customer

L. B.

Love it here good tunes and reasonably priced drinks. Snooker table also

C. M.

A regular haven for those who have finished a late shift in hospitality or entertainment and just need to escape the busy clubs for their after work pint.

I. P.

I loved piwo... They're stay open until 3am, good beers and nice staff Thank you

D. C.

The place for great music, atmosphere and some interesting people. One of my favourite pubs in Edinburgh!

O. N.

We stumbled in on a Monday evening, not knowing what to do around the city but Verdine was really welcoming and helpful. Good draft beers, great chat.

J. R.

Okay but it is way to busy for me so I prefer other bars over it, better than some other places though

B. M.

Greatest Place , I know this place from 8 years , and now stuff is great , people are great and opening hours are great 😉

Staropramen on tap, comfortable chairs and great music (a mix of Tool, Nine Inch Nails, etc) while I was in.

Very popular bar, usually packed out especially Fridays after work

e. t.

Perfect for a late night drink and a cheeky game of pool.

N. S.

Popped in on Friday on our way back from the station and we had a lovely time!! Both of your manageress' are fantastic and so so welcoming! The cocktails were also very reasonably priced and the added entertainment when getting the Green Dog was a bonus!! Can't wait to come back when I'm next in Edinburgh!

S. O. D.

Not bad, good for a late pint when the bars are closed

O. F.

(Translated) I asked for a scotch whiskey recommendation, so I drank two glasses. It's friendly and comfortable, so it's a good place to have a drink. It went so fast that there weren't many people there. (Original) 스카치 위스키 추천해달라해서 두잔 마셨습니다. 친절하시고 무난하니 술 한잔 하기 좋은 장소입니다. 너무 빨리가서 사람은 조금 없었어욥.

A. Q.

(Translated) Open until 3 o'clock in the morning and without cost per ticket, that's already a plus point. Do not go if you are looking for a quiet place, illuminated and "pijillo". Pivo will give you good music almost always (sometimes they shoot for Heavy Metal, personally I do not like it) and a good selection of beers. Try the Kozel, a Czech beer that is worth trying. ____ Open till 3 am and free entrance, that's already something good. Do not go there if you're looking for a quiet, bright and posh place. Pivo is going to provide good music, most of the times (sometimes they go for Heavy Metal) and good range of beers. Check out Kozel Czech Lager, that's a good one! (Original) Abierto hasta las 3 de la mañana y sin coste por entrada, eso ya es un punto a favor. No vayas si estás buscando un lugar tranquilo, iluminado y "pijillo". Pivo te dará buena música casi siempre (a veces tiran por Heavy Metal, personalmente no me gusta) y una buena selección de cervezas. Prueba la Kozel, una cerveza checa que merece la pena probar. ____ Open till 3 am and free entrance, that's already something good.
