Golf Tavern, 30-31 Wright's Houses, EH10 4HR, Edinburgh
This is my most regular sports watching hang out and have eaten here a number of times.
The food is decent pub fare. I've probably tried most things on the menu and have found the fish and chips to be the best choice - a good sized fish, nice crispy batter (you can choose to have it breaded instead), plenty of chips and tartar sauce.
I most recently ate there on a Thursday night. I ordered fish and chips and my friend chili con carne. After we ordered we noticed that they do 2 for 1 on Tex Mex on Thursdays. We had already paid by card but the bar staff were very helpful and called the kitchen to cancel the fish and changed it to another chili, then refunded the card. I guess they should have pointed the deal out to us when we ordered though - especially as one of us was having something from the Tex Mex menu already.
The chili was good. Not a huge portion and the rice was over cooked (a bit soggy), but it was very tasty. For less than £3 each with the offer, I'm not complaining!
The management seem very on the ball in this bar. They always do offers when sport's on - penalty kick competition for the FA cup final, pies at half time during the 6 nations, free pints for Scottish wins, raffles etc.
Overall, a good little boozer! I don't miss the old Golf Tavern at all. It had already made the transition from charming old man pub to student dive and was well in need of an overhaul.

I agree with Andy - the old Golf Tavern should not be missed, before it was refurbished I recall that a corner of the pub could not be used as the ceiling was being held up by a scaffolding pole.
The food is standard generic Edinburgh pub food but this place really excels in sports coverage. The screens are excellent and there are loads of them so you should not have any trouble seeing the action. There is also the bonus of pies at half time for big games and free pints for Scotland victories.

What a shame. They had to go and revamp the lovely old pub and turn it into a trendy bar. I remember chatting to a retired gentleman back home in Shropshire and he had very fond memories of this place when he was a student. I would hate to take him there now.

There are two great things about the Golf Tavern - the first is the fajitas and the second is the sharing chcocolate brownie sundae; both are equally delicious. Its a great place to hang out on a lazy Sunday afternoon. The only down side is that John Leslie seems to agree and has been there drinking with friends the last two times I was there.

A very good bar for watching live sport. If you get in early enough (like we did for the FA Cup final this year) and get a booth upstairs, it is sport-viewing at its finest. They are quite good at putting different games on different screens so there are no arguments about which game they should be showing.
The food is good too and I can recommend the fry up on a hungover Sunday.

This is a geat pub for sitting all day, with plenty sport on wide screen TVs it's a winner for a Sunday session. Food's not bad too.
