The Queens Retreat Pub

Good old boy pub. Pool table and Juke box. A few different beers compared to your usual pups.

Awesome night for my sons 30th birthday party

Great public house, great friendly bar staff and management.

I would give 1,000 stars if I could!Hubby and I (Americans) found ourselves in Edinbrough for a quick overnight. I found Queen's Retreat on Google Maps and we made the quick and very pleasant walk over from our hotel Dakota.When we walked in, what a sight!Fifteen or so men, from 20-60 years old, many wearing matching maroon flowered shirts touting the name Midlothian FC, shooting pool on a comically small table, and singing Kenny Rogers at the top of their lungs, playing air guitar with their cue sticks.We knew that we were in Our Element. They weren't so sure and tried to be helpful by directing us to the birthday party in the event space next door.We assured them that we wanted to join their party and were welcomed in with open arms.This is a Long Standing Pub of Choice for the men of South Queensbridge. Nobody has to tell us this. It's clear.We were the first Americans they'd ever seen there!The beers were cold and the cocktails were precise. The music was spot on, but often drowned out by the Midlothian FC fight song, Sunday loud and proud by men standing with hands up on their mates shoulders like the Rockettes as they kick their feet in the air. (There was no kicking conducted by the singing men of Scotland.)They played our wedding song on the jukebox, and when my husband, trying to wrap his engineering mind around English Pool with it's tiny bals and table, didn't notice the song...I was quickly asked to dance by one fellow and another.When I asked where their wives were, they were reported to be home Ironing r Hoovering." Two sweet ladies did manage to break free of their vacuum and arrived at nearly midnight.In all honesty

Quiet place to relax & catch up with friend's.

Beautiful and friendly place...staff and manager of the venue very helpful..

Nice friendly local pub, lounge recently refurbished with addition of timber framing looks well and bar area is now finished looks great and very welcoming, staff have pub properly set up for safety measures re cronavirus.

My local pub set in the heart of a housing scheme built in the early 70's

Great night thanks to all. Yasmin had a lovely birthday. Mo

Was there with my Amateur Football Club Saturday afternoon so the pub was quiet before 2pm
