Great food, lovely venue and an amazing choice of whiskeys.
Bar keepers were very knowledgeable and could always recommend a good dram from your taste profile. Wish we had a branch of the society near us.
Great place to spend a few hours chilling out. It is members only. We joined after a recommendation from someone. There is a pub locally which you don't have to be a member where there is a wide range of whiskeys from this place available. We had some bare snacks whilst there which were very nice as well. Staff really pleasant and helpful.
The Vaults in Edinburgh is an exceptional whisky bar that I've had the pleasure of being a member of for a couple of years now. While both of their Edinburgh locations are fantastic, The Vaults holds a special place in my heart due to its authentic and cozy atmosphere.The opulent jewel tones and warm lighting make this bar a perfect winter hideaway. It's the kind of place where you can sit back, relax, and savour a dram or two of some of the best whiskies in the world. The knowledgeable staff is always on hand to guide you through their extensive selection and help you find something perfect for your tastes.
They could do so much more with the food here. I love this place, am a member, and enjoy every time I come here. How could you not? However, I do think that the quality of the food that comes out of the kitchen could step up a bit.
A hidden gem in Leith!!! We walked by and luckily we stopped and asked about this great place. Miguel gave us a bit of an introduction about the club and we decided to join right on the spot. Lovely decor and relaxing atmosphere, great selection of whiskey and fantastic food.
Unfortunately the Dining room on the second floor is not open anymore - so the atmosphere is quite cosy. Would have been nicer to sit in the room with the bar. Food was very good and the Whiskys stand for themselves.
While in Edinburgh for work I was lucky enough to be taken to this place by a current member. The Gnocchi was delicious and the rest of the menu sounded great. The main reason we went was obviously for the whisky, the staff were knowledgeable but weren’t as attentive as the queen street location. It wasn’t a massive problem, but we had to go to the bar to get service, while others seemed to get table service. As you can see by the photos the members area of this place has a great atmosphere, it isn’t over crowded and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I will definitely be a signing up as a member.
Very special night there a few weeks ago. Farewell night for a very special friend. We had a lovely night. The food was excellent with tasty and creative courses. The whisky 🥃 was to die for. The chef made some extra little things for us - a very lovely attention. Thank you again for this moment. We’ll come back with family for sure.
I had the chance to be invited here by a friend who is a member and it was a once in a lifetime experience! The curated selection of whiskies here was breathtaking. Each month, there is a new selection of limited release bottles to drink and, for member, to buy. The writeups for each are very well done! The food was also nice and hearty.. I think I will join the society and get bottles sent to me!
I never tire of the place. Wonderful setting. Great atmosphere, friendly and informed staff. Great food and an astonishing range of whisky and gin.
