Amazing pub with very friendly staff who are extremely knowledgeable regarding the drinks they offer! The bartender's were more than happy to recommend and go into detail about each whiskey behind the bar. I couldn't fault it one bit. A cosy (and clean) place with a great atmosphere especially with live music in the evenings! Recommend to anyone visiting Edinburgh

We spent some time in here for drinks which were delicious! I had a few different gin drinks with their mixers that they recommend. Very nice small pub with a variety of alcohol and food options. Great service and would definitely go back.

We had a really fabulous evening at this pub! Friday evening music was amazing! 👏 - Irish folk style acoustic band - we got chatting to other people around us and it was a really good friendly atmosphere! Great pub! We didn't eat there on this occasion just had drinks - including several whiskey tastes! 😃 🍺 🍻 🍷 🥂🍸

Food was lovely, nice little lunch. Espresso martini was banging, really enjoyed it. Unfortunately the staff were not overly attentive, so we skipped dessert as we were waiting a long time (we were right in front of the bar) the staff were chatting up at the bar and didn't seem to notice. 10% charge was automatically added, which peeved me.

Lovely, friendly little place on the Royal Mile, recommended by the Royal Mile Whiskies specialist whisky merchant a few minutes walk away. I wasn't sure what I wanted to try, but the very helpful bar maid suggested smelling the fragrance of three to help me decide. I went for one of the Skye whiskies, to try something new. It was lovely.

Fantastic place to find interesting and rare whiskies in the heart of Edinburgh. Staff are always good chat and helpful and the place always has a nice buzz about it. To top it off, live folk music most evenings after 9pm. This is my favourite watering hole in the city by far.

We had a great time here. I enjoyed a flight of whiskey (the four regions) and we shared some food. The flight was great and came very generous pours. Service was incredibly friendly and the garlic bread was delicious.

Polite, friendly staff, very welcoming. Good selection of spirits and draught beer for average price in Edinburgh. Live music daily from 9pm. Would return here again
