The atmosphere and the staff are amazing. The food was also delicious i couldn’t recommend this place enough

The Basement Bar in Edinburgh offers a vibrant atmosphere with mixed reviews on food and service. Some diners were disappointed with undercooked steak and slow service, finding the prices too high for the experience. Others praised the delicious margaritas, friendly staff, and enjoyable sharing plates that make for a great night out with friends. The cozy ambiance, live music, and eclectic menu are highlights for those seeking a fun dining experience. Overall, The Basement Bar is recommended for Mexican food lovers, despite varying opinions on noise levels and value for money.

Food took an hour to come and found mine was quite burnt and unenjoyable. No one served us for over 15 minutes just for drinks and then another 15 for food.
