Reviews Moonwake Taproom

Beautiful taproom with an awesome view of the brewery. Chillout music far away from the tourists. Very good draft beers. Order half ones and taste twice as much.

Moonwake is a cool place and that's my first tip. Tip: It gets cold here, even under the heat lamps but bring a coat and come anyway. This is a review of the Moonwalk Taproom. Yeah, there's a brewery here and from those clean and shiny vats come some great tasting, local and craft beer. But what else can I say about the brewery? I suppose I could say that the open entrance space has been used for a local pop up market and it was petite but fun. There were just a few stalls but each one was local, quality and good. The main reason, unless you want to look at shiny vats, to visit is the taproom. The taproom is up a flight of stairs, is on a balcony and overlooks the brewery. Isn't that a great place to enjoy freshly poured pints? Staff here are friendly and since they make the beer on offer are way more involved than some city centre franchise clone. You can meet the owners here. Order at the bar or at the table. I've talked through what I feel like and have had recommendations. Tip: Moonwake is a local treasure, isn't huge so you can strike out and turn up when there are no free tables. Consider getting in touch if you want to bring the office or a group of friends. Pizza! For at least half the time I've been drinking here there's been a deal with Pizza Geeks. That's a brilliant local pizzeria. Use their app to do an "at table" order. Frankly, beer from the brewery served with freshly made pizza carried over the bridge from the local restaurant is amazing. Tip: Follow Moonwake on social media. They're lovely, transparent, informative and it's the best place to keep up with their latest brews and events. I'm a fan but I'm yet to try their e-commerce offer. If I buy a crate of their beer then I'd drink it! [May 22 update - even better with beer garden] [September 22 update - still good] [April 23 update - really enjoy their market events, recommend following on social to find out about them] [July 23 update - growing and successful but still feels indie and authentic] [Overly 23 update - Moonwake Beers are superb and they have a knack for great guest taps too]

Very simple taproom. The beer you will be pleased to know is fresh and excellent. The wildly named lager is called , yes you guessed 'lager'. It's fresh, simply hopped, has a great head, and has a nice long finish. Highly recommended.

Nice start to the beer day! Crisp refreshing beer in the upstairs taproom with a view over the steelwork. Their weissbier is very good too.

Moonwake is the absolute high bar for beer in Edinburgh. Now, I am not speaking about the actual flavour of the beer, that's a personal choice. I'm speaking about the quality of the serve. Moonwake serves the freshest most delicious beer in all of Edinburgh. Fact. It is just excellent. I've been her 15 times over the last year and it's always excellent, really really excellent. I am a Pale Ale, IPA guy, but their selection is fantastic. Come down and give a local brewery your money, trust me it's worth it.

Walked in on an early Saturday enjoyed the Breakfast IPA. Which was very tasty.

Great beer, lovely staff. Very cool brewery.

Best beer I’ve had in the UK as an American tourist from the West Coast.

Stunning little place! Staff are all lovely, and the atmosphere is great! All the beers I've tried have been ace - the rye IPA is a must try, and the lager is super smooth and clean. Highly recommend popping by
