Reviews Hanover Tap

A great place to go for drinks but the food was definitely a miss for me. The mac and cheese was overly sweet and tasted more like fast food than restaurant food. The bartender was so nice and made some great gin cocktails though!

We came here for bottomless boozy brunch and it couldn’t have been better! Staff were more than helpful, we was early for our booking and they accommodated us, made us feel welcome and we had a great time. Drink selection? Perfect! Food was so good and the bottomless wings are to die for! Would definitely recommend and would visit again if we’re ever to venture Edinburgh again ☺️

Spontaneously walked into this bar for an early dinner, and absolutely loved it! It’s big, 2 floors (and a half?), pretty inside, with many meal options on the menu (small, shares, big meals, burgers, pizzas etc). We had Macsween haggis and a chicken & bacon salad, asked to add pulled duck on top - both were really good! Especially the salad!! Paid £20 for both, really happy.

Slight mixed feelings on this spot. I will say the staff are friendly and our food was great. Any we interacted with was polite and prompt. I went with one friend who is vegan and another who doesn't drink- They had nice virgin cocktails and lots of vegan options. Nicely thought out. When arriving the door was blocked by a group of guys smoking that I needed to push past, and then later realised half of it was staff. 😅 Blocking their own entrance. Just bizarre. Just before our food arrived we asked that our table got wiped down, as it was super sticky and crumby from the last people. They were prompt to do it, but did about half of it with lots of stickiness left. Since the food was good and anyone we spoke with was kind, I did like it overall. Just seemed slightly like it was run by teenagers.

We visited on a Thursday and they had 2 for 1 pizzas. They were delicious! Thin crust and just the right amount of sauce! Nice beer and great gin selection. Prices seemed fair!
