“This place is a proper pub where the pints flow and the banter’s top-notch,” says one of the regulars, and they’re not wrong. Another local chimes in, “You get a right mix of footy and friendly faces, what more do you need?” Southsider definitely delivers on both fronts.
What Sports Are Shown
If you’re into football, you’ll find the place buzzing with fans on Premier League match days. Beyond that, they also screen other major sporting events, so you’ll catch the Six Nations or the occasional Rugby match if you’re lucky. It’s the kind of pub where everyone has an opinion on the scoreline, and you can bet the locals aren’t shy about shouting it out.
Atmosphere & Vibe
What’s impressive about Southsider is its unapologetic, laid-back vibe. The walls are adorned with football memorabilia that sparks nostalgia while the low lighting creates a cosy retreat from the bustle of Edinburgh. You’ll see groups of mates huddled over pints, jovially debating tactics or celebrating a last-minute goal as if they’d scored it themselves. The staff? Engaging and quick, which is a must on busy match days. People come here for the game, but they stay for the community.
