I have just had a long weekend in Edinburgh and had heard about shandwicks. I had heard lots of negative things and so went in with low expectations but however by the end I had changed my mind completely. This place has pints for very cheap prices of £1.95 which is rare in any part of the country. My server was Finlay and he came across as a very kind lad and proceeded to ask about my day and what not while also giving me a very good pint even though it was in a plastic cup. Furthermore the atmosphere in the pub throughout the night was very good and not what people make it out to be. Give this place a try guys! Don’t listen to the people who give this place a so called bad reputation as it isn’t true!

Great place for students to hangout or for gathering! Alcoholic drinks here are fairly cheap and the pub has chill ambience. Location is strategic. Definitely would return!

Generally speaking, I think the people make the place and Emma H. is what MAKES this place. I was surprised to find someone so witty and charming, but there she was! Fantastic drink recommendation (the blue one?) 10/10 would come back for a drink and good bants

This place is amazing! Emma the bartender is the best person at this place! She truly makes Shandwicks the place to be. Emma always gives the best service, has the brightest smile and is just the best person at this place. Emma is the best! Plus just so pretty that the atmosphere may not be great but she makes that place shine!

I love going to Shandwick's, and the staff are always attentive and helpful. I was in this past Saturday, and had Emma serve me. She poured immaculate pints, and made sure that my mixed drinks were perfect. We later ordered a pitcher from her, and it was the best Venom I've had in Edinburgh. Would highly recommend this venue to anyone that wants great, affordable drinks.
