Drank here to watch England beat Australia in the world cup semi-final. Too few staff behind the bar making the queue massive, often out of the door. This just meant we drank less as it put you off joining the end and having to wait so long to get served.But the venue was awesome. Huge screen. Excellent atmosphere.

This is a great place to watch sport if the weather is good; large beer garden at the front of the entrance to the pub with a giant TV and nice atmosphere when busy, as it usually is when the weather is good. The beer on offer is decent, with plenty of non-alcoholic drinks available too. The fish and chips is superb. One of the best I’ve had in Edinburgh. The rest of the items on the menu is what you would expect from a pub. Personally didn’t think anything looked as good as the fish and chips but may be wrong here. If you fancy a ‘chippy’ while basking in the sun and watching sport then this is the place for you. Even if sport and sun isn’t your thing, I’d say it’s worth it just for the fish and chips.

Great place, recommended for families. Drinks were lovely, food beautiful. One staff member was very miserable and commented on a dog nearby that shouldn’t be in the pub beer garden. The dog was no bother. The way she spoke to the people wasn’t the best, she was also very miserable when serving. Apart from that everything was great!

A really enjoyable evening at the Pear Tree catching up with old friends. The staff were excellent, and there is a nice mix of different age groups and people from all walks of life. As a bonus, they sell gluten free beer by the pint, which is brilliant news for many!

Amazing place, quick service, friendly staff, amazing entertainment options. Was there during Fringe, but they have performances regularly all year round. Rooms for shows are small and cramped but that's part of the experience and fun.

Went here for the free fringe. Went and seen the fantastic five Northern Irish comedians. Great venue and a good selection of beers behind the bar. Tourist prices but can't complain as there was plenty seating and massive outside telly for sport.

This was my hang out as an Edinburgh student. Used to be the rock and goth pub.... Definitely not that now!Food is great, beer selection is ok but not spectacular.Easily the best beer garden in the city, and they have a huge screen to show sporting events, or whatever the Hoi polloi need to watch.

The rugby World Cup is heavily advertised and there’s a fantastic big screen set up. Went along to watch South Africa today. Had to ask staff 4 times to get the channel changed from cricket. And sadly they didn’t put on the sound, but were piping music instead. Staff just didn’t care at all about it. They weren’t showing the rugby inside either - lots of students watching Formula One.
