The Bow Bar

Great selection, super friendly and helpful staff . A perfect place to take a break or catch up with friends. Full of locals, always an excellent recommendation!

The staff knowledge of their whisky is beyond... Some many kinds of whiskey and around 10 taps of beer you never heard of... Got to love this warm place, so worth it!

Superb wee place, laid-back and the atmosphere makes for some seriously relaxed daytime drinking . Super-friendly and knowledgeable staff , great beer selection , lots of whiskies too.

Way better bar than you'd think, given the location. Great whisky selection , and decent beer options . Somehow not touristy ?

Cozy bar off a good strip. Our beer was served warm, but the wide selection of beers and the proper setup of the bar make it a good place to rest your feet and enjoy a drink.

Great beer !! And if you are looking for a good whisky here is the place! Huge variety with a whisky menu and the staffs are your best friend to help you to find your perfect drink!!!

Lots of interesting and different beers on tap ! Also a wide variation of whiskeys . Cozy feeling but could easily fit in more sestings without getting crowded .

A lovely pub with craft, draught beer and a huge whiskey selection . I could imagine The Bow Bar as a quite genuine Scottish pub ! Cheers!

Tons of nice draft beers (we loved white cloud most), nice whiskey , nice ambiance, friendly staff .

quaint little pub with fantastic old school vibe. great craft beer selection both bottled and on tap and a good price to boot.

really a nice pub ! large selection of beers , especcially scottish ones. Go there for a pint, and if you don't know what to choose, trust the waiter !!

Good craft beer selection and a very good whisky selection . It can get seriously busy and it's quite small so get in early to avoid the rush.

Impressive scotch selection and expert bartenders - Ask them to help you choose the best whisky according to your taste.

Education! The staff took the time to listen, educate and make suggestions. My favorite: the Oban Double Matured. Excellent place. Quite pricy .

Best selection of whiskey with great ambiance. Really enjoyed this bar , a must go in Edinburgh!

Great whisky selection (and beers ), really helpful bartenders that make good suggestions and are fun to chat with.

Cute pub with nice coffee flavored stout ☕️ . Chicken and leek pie was ok.

Alechemy is very drinkable (ale made with lager hops!) the house beer

Whisky selection is almost overwhelming, but fear not--patient and knowledgeable bar staff is there you find something you like
