Visited in autumn 2017 and the dinner was amazing! July 2023 it has turned into bar only? Either way; great selection of whiskies (2023) and I recommend going her for exploring your palate through tasting menus. Great bartenders! Also they stock rarities like Ardbeg Supernova.
Only been to the whisky bar so my review is purely related to that. The whole place has a quite exclusive atmosphere, it's nice and cozy and you feel well treated.
The bar has a good selection of drams anywhere in range of 4 and 210 GBP. I found quite a few that were on the menu but not on the bar. The overall experience was great, staff was very friendly, knowledgeable and able to recommend more and we had a good chat! The gentlemen there let us also take pictures of some of their beautiful bottles as well, I really appreciated that:)
We planned to come again before our departure, but didn't manage at the end. But I definitely plan to come back in the future and I do recommend to stop by and have a few drams:) Wish all the business and staff good luck in the future and we are looking forward to come back again.
If you are a Whisky lover this place is a must visit. Very friendly staff and a grand selection of some of the finest Malts Scotland has to offer. The staff behind the bar is serious about their love for Whisky so you'll be in good hands.
Very cool whisky bar with a great atmosphere. They have a big selection of whiskies, also some very rare ones, and the prices are actually very reasonable. The service was outstandingly friendly! We also ordered dessert there. +1 for the vegan key lime pie. Fantastic place, highly recommended!
Excellent service with very friendly and knowledgeable staff ready to answer any questions you have. The cocktails are top notch and the atmosphere is perfect for a group or solo experience. Don't be afraid to walk in a different era and live your life a little! Give in your temptations just for a night!!!
Ask for a booth when you book! It's super cozy if you do get one (rocking chairs are amazing). The whisky list is huge and not very informative, but the food menu has some pairing suggestions in case you come unprepared. Food was great too by the way.
During our vacation in Edinburgh, we decided to do a whisky tasting here before grabbing a meal upstairs. It was easily one of the best decisions we made. Since we are whisky novices, the staff was tremendous at giving us an overview of what we were looking for and the menu of whiskies was divided into multiple different flavor profiles, which really helped to create a super diverse sampling of different whiskies. Any trip where I will go to Edinburgh, a stop here is an absolute must.
Everyone has mentioned the whisky (the range is amazing and good prices) the beer (which was good ) and the amazing alcoves which are actually under the pavement outside and give the place a mellow atmosphere even when it is busy and worth a visit just for that. The food is also fantastic especially if you are a carnivore as I had the venison with chocolate dirt and I’ve never seen so much meat on a plate. My partner had the lamb and it too was a lot of meat with broad beans. The service has to be good with all the alcoves to attend to. Great place.
Delicious whiskeys and desserts! Lovely ambiance too in the basement.
Best Whisky bar in Edinburgh.
The selection on the menu is normally fantastic. Covering the various regions of Scotland as well as a selection from across the globe.
The price points also suit a range of budgets.
Interior decor is dark and comfortable. Seating options consist of: at the bar, a large table for bigger crowds, smaller tables or a series of "private booth" areas which are well integrated to the theme.
Staff are usually chatty, very knowledgeable and eager to help you find the best whisky for your tastes.
Organised tasting sessions can be organised on request.
