The Printing Press Bar & Kitchen

Turned up for a few drinks to celebrate my partner leaving the armed forces after dedicated service. Unfortunately we were not allowed in as it was too busy despite us choosing this venue as it was clearly quieter than other bars in the area. I pointed out the fact there were empty seats however again was told abruptly there was no tables. Customer service was terrible and arrogance levels were high.

Visited 15 March and was not impressed unwelcoming and a feel it was trying to be something it really wasnt. Didnt appear to have much choice of drinks and frankly was glad to get out of there. Maybe it has some history I dont know but I would find somewhere else if visiting Edinburgh as there are some first class bars..

This is the restaurant for Intercontinental Hotel George St. It serves as the breakfast lounge, bar and dining room. It was a printing press, hence the name for the restaurant. The deco ambiance is a bit dated. Rather dark and dim inside. The light fixtures were very retro. The drinks menu was interesting with names of famous people and the drinks which they may have favoured. Food menu was average and uninspired. It read like an outdated menu from another era. It didnt get any better when the dishes arrived. Cod was obviously poached or sous vide as the center was a tad under cooked. The dish was not steaming hot and the charred gem was cold. Theres nothing special about the charcuterie board. With so many great restaurants in Edinburgh, I will not patronise this place again.
