Southside Steamie

A friend took me to this pub a couple of months ago and since then i've become a regular. The staff is very friendly polite and always smiling. The food is also really good. You should definitely try one of their burgers or hot dogs and you will be surprised on how good they are. Steamie also has some of the cheapest prices on drinks you will find in Edinburgh.
Overall a very pleasant place to go every day and spend the night with food and drinks.

***AVOID***
Never have I witnessed such blatant discrimination!!
As a care worker I am horrified by the reception we were given on tues 16th of Aug at lunch time in this place. The reception we got was rude, unfriendly and very unwelcoming. We have eaten out all over Edinburgh and have never received a complaint – never mind being asked to leave! If you believe that all people deserve equal rights I would urge you not to give this place your business.

The above review is not representative of my experience at The Steamie. Ever. The staff are charming, remember your tipple of choice and will be more than welcoming. I'd urge you to give The Steamie a try any time - you'll have a great time. Particularly on a Friday when they have live music. Go on - give them a go!

This pub is the biggest disgrace known to humanity. I used to live round the corner and it used to be exceptional. It must be under new management but the people running it have no clue about manners, customer service, customer satisfaction, food preparation or any other required factor in running a business. I took some friends and family in because we were at that side of town and much to my embarrassment it took nearly an hour and a half to get our food 2 breakfasts and 2 steak rolls. When the food eventually arrived it was overcooked tasted burnt the chips were already salted making you think they were just re-heated and when the manageress asked us to tell her if there was anything wrong with it at all we should let her know it really puts an edge on confidence about eating it. This brings me to the next point, their furniture is of poor standard and I'm sure its the same couch from years ago which ripped my jeans as compensation, they took my details and did not contact me which left me to do the work 2 weeks later in which the manger proclaimed they would not compensate me they would pay for a repair (who repairs designer jeans) but only if I presented them with a quote in case I was being underhanded. What a complete pratt! As a suggestion make sure you never go to this establishment, trust me.
