Good spot to have some snacks and cocktails . Their hot and cold snacks are good. It is usually packed so we always sit at the bar . Also you may try different whiskies . We had a whiskey flight
Nice cozy bar , friendly staff giving great advice on whisky if you have not much idea like me :) a huge whisky menu available , also cocktails , beer , wine . Good lounge music as well
Jacob's ladder was delicious and so comforting on a cool breezy day. They have a lot of great cocktails and the a nice ambiance.
Holy shit what a great place. Beautiful interior , impeccable service , banger after banger for your Spotify playlist and the food was delicious! I will dream of the pork belly for a while
great place to have drinks and their cocktails are very unusual. tried niños del alteña taste pretty well . def worth visiting when edinburgh!
Delicious delicious food. The pork belly was absolutely insane. The fish and meat platters were very varied and very good.
Better to book for dinner specially weekends. Beetroot risotto was delicious - gin tonic for 6$ and great service. Nice atmosphere and music . I definitely recommend!
Hard to find but a gem! Go early afternoon or late at night. If sunny then take a terrace table. Eat if you can but do not leave without having an ‘Idle on Islay ’. Cheap champagne too!!

Cocktails and whisky list! You can drink here everyday and never make it through the list. Bartenders are amazing craftsmen and women. The black dog is spectacular
fantastic hip spot for food and/or drinks. meat and cheese plate , mussels , asparagus , and cullen skink were great!
Tucked in alleyway with nicely lit ambiance, it offers great cocktails and wines . Definitely recommend the fish platter and the truffle and parmesan fries !
Part of the Bon Vivant group of bar/restaurants & like its siblings it doesn't disappoint. Hard to pick a favourite from an outstanding menu but the burger could be Edinburgh's best.
I had the lamb , it was great. Also had a G&T (Electric Spirit) - not only was it good but it was cheap !
The lamb and the pork belly were incredible! Long long list of whiskies available to taste.
Try the cheeseboard, it was delicious!!! Great pub - not touristy and delicious rose and gin cocktails .
Good atmosphere and helpful/knowledgeable staff . A lot of great whiskey (300 to choose from!). Try the truffle chips .
Cool interior, perfect for date night ! But always busy so book ahead, otherwise unlikely to get a table.
Reservations absolutely required. Touristy but not obnoxiously so. Ribs were great. Excellent cocktails .
Great for cocktails , and a cool dinner spot. Not quiet an intimate - more like loud and funky. Love the truffle mac and cheese !
Beer is fantastic, food top quality! The staff is very helpful ;)
LOVE this place- food and drinks are incredible. Bartenders are great, super knowledgeable and friendly .
Lots of hype. Poor service. "Cool vibes", but you can find a lovely and genuine Edinburgh experience (and great whiskey ) elsewhere for less ;-)
The whisky selection is excellent, and they make a mean Penicillin.
Great whiskey based cocktails and a lovely atmosphere. Great for a couple of drinks after dinner .
It's a GORGEOUS bar . Lovely selection of beers and very nice little booths if you want some peace and quiet .
Great selection of whisky , food was delicious too. Can recommend the hot watermelon salad .
Amazing cave/witch-like atmosphere. Feels quite underground. Definitely worth a visit!
300 types of whiskey and they know everything about them, just ask a bartender . Awesome place!
Good food! Go with the Specials... they know what there talking about.
Lovely hideaway of the beaten track . Good beers and cocktails look great
Venison was great, whisky flight too
Good whisky , good whisky cocktails .
Great place for cocktails and atmosphere :) Brilliant staff ! Thank you for a speed!
Book ahead if you want dinner . Drinks are especially great
It's hard to find good cocktail bar in this part of Edinburgh, but this is the best.
Big fan of The Pioneer cocktail . Super friendly bar staff , too.
Best Old Fashioned in the world!
Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff , wonderful food, nice beers .
Definitely ask for advice on scotch . Very informative and on point.
Haggis is must to eat! Great atmosphere!
The place is beautiful but I gotta say both service and food were quite disappointing. We tried the smoked fish & charcuterie boards. Both meh. The same with the crispy polenta ...
Great cocktails and awesome romantic atmosphere
Food freshly cooked.staff friendly and relaxed atmosphere
Cocktails and great atmosphere
Can't be missed. Love the atmosphere and location
Large variety of malt whisky
Very good cocktails and ambiance.
Cocktails and food are the best I had
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
Excellent choice for vegans, good to see a fully vegetarian menu. The random decor makes it quirky. - Alistair Burns
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! - Danielle Boudreau
Lunch in the Cathedral Cafe is really good. Fresh homemade cake too - Antonia Mott
The atmosphere was nice and cozy and the beer tasting that they recommended was great too! Value for money place! - Maria Manoli-Zafeiropoulou
