There is a saying that “it is always better to travel than to arrive”, however Platform 5 at Edinburgh’s famous Haymarket junction aims to challenge that notion.

Having opened on 1st May 2014, Platform 5 takes a nod to the Station and tram terminal opposite and is quickly establishing itself as a valuable asset both to those in need of refreshment before or after transit but also to local workers and residents including those staying at the Tune Hotel overhead.

Breakfast served daily from 7am to 12pm

Main menu:

Mon-Fri: 11am to 10pm

Sat-Sun: 12pm to 10pm.

It was nice enough but the seating could be a bit better. You have to go upstairs then down 2 flights of stairs to get to the toilet. Not ideal for the elderly or infirm. This was our first visit so we need to think whether we would go back.

I Booked a table for six adults for Saturday well in advance and we were delighted to have the best table in the pub. The round table up the stairs to the right. Place was busy but never waited any more than three to four minutes to be served. A few times we used the bottom bar as only one serving at the top bar. The food servers did jump in to help out when they could. All staff very friendly. All toilets were clean which is good considering how busy it was. Loads of televisions around so never missed sports. This pub is in Scotland's capital city so expect to pay city prices. In my opinion £30 for 4 and a half pints and a double vodka and coke is very reasonable for Edinburgh. All in all great place for drinking and watching sport. Will be back on the 10th of February and will be asking for the same table. Cheers.............

Visited this place on a Monday night. Wasn't busy. Had to figure out that we needed to seat ourselves and order at the bar. Rdeuced staff. Food was good though. Had a pick 5 of finger food, for 4 of us. My favorite was the chicken bites in Asian bbq sauce. Fried cheese, bacon wrapped sausage, and panko fish bites.

Great place with tasty food and good beer. Maybe little bit noisy but expected, it's a pub

The food was quite satisfying. I tried the fish and chips as well as the Steak and ale pie, and they were surprisingly good for pre-made fast food options. The staff at the bar were friendly and accommodating. However, I did notice that the tables weren't as clean as I would have liked; they were a bit sticky, which was a minor downside. The atmosphere at Platform 5 didn't quite meet my expectations, hence the 3-star rating. It seemed more like a place to watch sports with a lively and noisy environment. If you're looking for a quiet spot to chat, this might not be the ideal choice. Overall, a decent spot for a quick bite, with good food and service, but it's more suited for sports enthusiasts than those seeking a relaxed dining experience.
