   Great beers, frickles are so good and salt and chilli wings are insane. Pizza looks like heaven and taste like original Italian. Very vibrant and funky place. Great value for money and definitely worth to visit.

   Superb location for a lovely catch up with friends visiting from Australia. Awesome view of the castle from the deck where we sat in the sunshine.

   Staff were friendly, attentive and brilliant. We had a bigger group so they helped us split the bill. The band were also extremely good. Food was also lovely. Really good vibe for a Saturday evening and set us up for the rest of our night!

   We visited the rooftop for cocktails. Nice space with great castle views and fantastic staff but not a lot of cover for a drizzly April evening. Cocktail menu a bit limited.

   Thank you so much for joining us on the rooftop and for sharing your feedback! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the space, the views of the castle, and our fantastic team. We appreciate your comments about the limited cocktail menu and the cover especially for those unpredictable April evenings. We hope to welcome you back soon, perhaps on a sunnier day, for an even better experience!

   We booked the roof terrace and I had a fantastic Philly Cheese Steak handheld pizza (the best food I’ve had in a long time!) and my OH had haggis loaded fries (equally as good) washed down with a coldwater lager and Baltic ipa. Nice view of the castle and nice relaxed vibe. Good service too!

   Wow – what a fantastic review, thank you! We are so glad you booked the roof terrace and made the most of the view – it really does make for a special spot, especially with a cold drink in hand. Delighted to hear the Philly Cheese Steak handheld pizza hit the mark (we think it's a bit of a hidden gem!), and that the Haggis Loaded fries and beers went down just as well. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to the team – hope to see you again soon for another round!

   After taking our orders, servers forgot to bring our drinks. We asked for water for the table three times and only got it as we were about to leave. They automatically added the discretionary charges when we were paying without asking us if we’d pay it.
   

   Cold Town HouseResponded on April 14, 2025

   Dear Vidhyah, thank you for your feedback, and we’re truly sorry to hear about your recent experience. We understand how frustrating it must have been to wait repeatedly for water and drinks that were forgotten about. That’s not the level of service we aim to provide, and we’ll be addressing this with our team. With regard to our discretionary service charge, we absolutely trust our guests to review their bill before making payment, and we're always happy to remove or adjust it upon request. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and hope to have the chance to welcome you back for a much better experience next time.

   Food was good but cocktails and beers are very expensive for what you get.

    Really lovely bar in the heart of Grassmarket. A nice escape from normal tourist traps.
