OK people! In response to all the prevoius reviews of this bar I have drank here since 2001, and that is pretty good considering that when I find a homely bar to drink it is spoiled by the type of regulars that want to run the place themselves and claim it is there teratory, this however is not true. I have found (If you give the bar a chance and not just for the cheep drinks, but that is deffinatly a bonus) very welcoming, fun and the staff are carefully picked and and have become very good friends that i can trust. I have seen a turn in management in the bar and I find the current one is well up for the job, he has succeeded were so many have failed (and that is not a dig at all previous managment). But you have to understand that the bar is located in the central and busiest boozing locashion in Edinburgh anyway, so they have to be careful on who they serve and who they don't, IF YOU HAVE THE ID THEN BLOODY BRING IT! and stop mouning, it will make your night out alot easier. So i put to you this dis the bar or be dismissed from the bar because YOU were the fool. This is your choise.

The only good thing about this place is its cheap drinks. There is ALWAYS puddles on the floor, the bar staff are soooo rude the bouncer just doesnt seem interested in his job and the people in it are completley wrecked. But like I said the drinks are cheap, shots for £1 and doubles for summit like £2.50 on a friday night, you cant really complain

They seem a bit mad on ID-ing in that place...I got in, got served and THEN one of their friendly members of staff came over to the table to ID me. I didn't have any 'proper' ID and was generously told that I could finish my drink and then I'd unfortunately have to leave. This was after I'd assured the guy that I was 19 (which I genuinely am), only to receive the sneering response, 'Yeah, and I'm 36' (which he patently was not). I know bars are obliged to ID but the way they went about it was ridiculous. I will definitely not be going back.

i think that bar salsa is a great pub.It had cheap drinks,a good atmosphere(when there arent any neds or trendies around)and the staff seem pretty cool.Me and my mates like to go there practically everyweek and just chill out.I highly recomend this pub to any cool people.

This pub lacks everything. The staff, especially some half wit that is the manager, are lazy, incompetent and generally shite! The drinks especially the cocktails have been thrown together with no thought whatsoever. The clientele is, ahem, choice to say the very least. You are either surrounded by drunken incontinent old men who leer at you, or are surrounded by schemie underagers. They must be desperate for money in that place. Finally, your choice of music is the managers preference of hard thrashy SHITE or weird jazz, no salsa, no up to date commercial pop, nothing worth going in the place for at all.
