Quiet setting, with superb cocktails and knowledgeable , passionate staff . Candles on every table add to the ambience. Great spot on its own or for waiting for a table across the street at el cartel.
Bites are all lovely. Had beef main was really good and plenty to fill you. Witchcraft cocktail fab. Dog friendly which is a lovely plus. friend brought Moss the lurcher. Wine from next door, great.
Cocktails , nibbles and innovation. Everything here is fun and different and there is so much atmosphere! Come at night if you can brave the crowds but good for a great atmospheric lunch !

Great spot tucked away. We had some of the “bites” which are tapas style . Every dish was excellent. Great wine list by the glass and staff very friendly and efficient.
Grape and grain punch was fantastic! For small bites, mushroom truffle roll and aubergine tartlet were both great too!
They serve fantastic cocktails . Enjoyed the cozy atmosphere and the bearded guy providing us with amazing drinks was great fun and always adviced to our satisfaction.
Brilliant cocktails , nibbles and service. Go over the road to the Mexican restaurant afterwards!
Absolutely delicious - been 4 times now and always impressed! Haggis Bon Bons and the lemon tart dessert are a must!
Excellent cocktails and service. I didn't eat here but the menu looked very good. Ambience is also excellent
So amazing. Perfect Sunday night roast. The food was amazing along with the intimate ambiance.
Great wee bar ,full of ambience.Had the greatest sauvignon blanc i ever had,from chile.Its a bit more expensive but it's a wine bar .
Excellent cocktails , attentive and friendly staff , great cosy and romantic atmosphere ...does nothing wrong.
Love the atmosphere in the place! Bar does a mean cocktail - and the dinner menu is full of interesting options.
Great atmosphere for a chilled out lunch and buzzing in the evening. Drop in for a warm welcome and get the bar team to mix you a cocktail or pour you a glass of wine .
Great pub , cosy atmosphere and great selection of gins ! Go, you won't be disappointed.
Great spot for cocktails and nibbles. I wasn't impressed with the mains
Go for happy hour and order all of the bites at the bar .
Incredible wine selection , lovely atmosphere, perfect for a quiet bottle (or three) with friends
Great atmosphere, lovely food, novel tasting options.
Excellent cocktails by knowledgeable and capable bar staff !
Use "the cloud wi-fi" regardless of what network you're on you'll lose signal in here'
The pork main was epic and can do a negroni !
Also try the bread with oil & balsamic - the oil melts in your mouth and the balsamic is really smooth not sharp. Good quality stuff!
Great atmosphere. Friendly staff
Great little cocktail bar cum restaurant . Try the German dry reisling. The menu is always good and the bites are great value .
Good cocktails . The gin ones were particularly good.
Coctails were interesting. Ambiance was cool. Liked do much.
Cocktails - try the Charlie Chaplin

Good food cooked just the way you want it. The starters are superb.
Excelentes drinks e super descolado!

Fantastic cocktails & staff! Plus, they serve barrel aged cocktails that you can also buy in tiny bottles to-go! - Brynn Evans
My favourite place on a recent trip to Edinburgh. Love the unique idea behind the place, 13 liquor's / 13 cocktails. I opted for a beer & bourbon, it was perfect. Great intimate atmosphere, nice staff - Dave Mullen Jnr
LOVE this place- food and drinks are incredible. Bartenders are great, super knowledgeable and friendly. - Viajandolavidaloca
The best Mexican in town! Be prepared to wait for a table but the funky, street food vibe it worth it. Margaritas are fab. Wait across the road for a table. Once you get in, have the shrimp tacos!! - Dean McVey
Great selection of beers to pick from, top atmosphere, just off the tourist trail. - Simon Lant
Fantastic selections of gins, and other spirits. But especially the gins! - Nick Boardman
