We went with my sister yesterday to have a meal as we have visited the place last year when we were in Edinburgh and loved the food. This time however they have refused to serve us because it was 7:24 pm and apparently if you have no ID you can?t even eat there after 7pm. We said that we won?t buy any alcoholic drinks but they said we can?t even eat, ridiculous. This is the 1st time ever we had such a bad experience going to a restaurant/bar or pub to eat. Will not return there again.

Staff and service are terrible. Waited over 30 minutes for my drink at the bar and when asked the bar staff about it they said they hadn?t served me after going back and forth and needing to show them my online banking to confirm I had bought a drink they finally made it. Staff were extremely rude after that to my friends and I. Other friends at the bar over heard them calling me a ?bitch? and a ?cow? 0/10 would no recommend anyone to go.

Always loved it here and have been coming for years. But was disappointed to see the menu has changed and all the drinks we regularly got have been replaced with more expensive, boring ones. The reason we liked candy bar was because it was fun, affordable and different but now it's just like all the rest.

Visited last week with some college friends, was recommended some yummy cocktails by Matthew. Atmosphere was great and the live singer made the night. Will definitely be back

Bouncers on an evening are very aggressive and the men were pushing around girls outside. Do not go here for somewhere safe. Plenty of other bars on George Street.

Racist bouncers. Absolute disgrace. Do not go here if you are not white. They do not like anyone talking to them who are non-white. You will have an awful time.

My boyfriend and I came here for some drinks as part of our engagement celebrations and had the most amazing time. The cocktails were incredibly tasty and with many of them at only £5 - what's not to love? We found the music, atmosphere and ambience to be perfect and found the service to be very quick and helpful. We will definitely be back to try more of the menu soon!!

Staff couldn't be more helpful. We pre-booked a table a few months in advance as we were a party of 24. Music was fab and cocktails were made so quickly. Great prices.

Affordable and delicious cocktails with friendly staff. The Candy Bar is central and in a fantastic location of Edinburgh.

I went for a friend's birthday drinks and the bar staff close to ruined our night, The wait to be served was long. The wait for really simple drinks was far too long. The barmen were really only attentive if you were a young blonde lassie and actively ignored everybody else. It was so obvious what they were doing. One of them actually left the bar and appeared to do so to give a girl his number. The men were actually quite rude when speaking to me and my friends. I would never go back for drinks again and if you are reading this, encourage you to avoid a horrible experience yourself.

Christmas drinks at Candy Bar. £12 for the smallest cocktail. I'm sure I was given one of the £5 cocktails with the Christmas wristband promotion. I did mention but was told that's what the cocktail is.

A really good high end bar to meet with friends and socialise. Amazing, fun, friendly & helpful staff who know their job well. Good list of drinks & cocktails! Highly recommend

Myself and a group of the girls went for some lunch and drinks, the staff were lovely, very polite and attentive to make sure our food was ok and that we had drinks. Cocktails are amazing and good value for money. Food was also really nice, especially the sticky toffee pudding. Will definitely come back.
