Great atmosphere and good cocktails ! Very friendly staff and very helpful on the selection of the drinks. The decor reminds me of a 20' scene ( the hidden library entrance and wallpapered walls ).

Amaury J

Amazing bar in Edinburgh ! The entrance is the coolest -- a barbershop and you have to go behind a "bookcase." Coolest cocktails + knowledgeable & kind staff . It's a hidden gem !

valeria velazquez

It is so fun to enter to this bar . First you enter to a fast food place, walk down the stais where you find a small living room, where you pull a book from the book shelf to open the door.

Clara Eloy

Very cool speakeasy ! The cocktails were very interesting and I 100% recommend trying something weird like the bloody mary with Guinness mousse ! Worth their spot in the 50th best bars in the world

Antony

Absolutely loved this bar . As a solo traveller it was great to be able to sit at the bar American-style. They're so welcoming and informative. Cocktails excellent and (vs London at least) well priced.

Kostas

Great atmosphere and good prices. I told the bartender what kind of flavour I wanted and made me excellent sour and refreshing whisky-based cocktail (not in the menu ). Dubai in the sky is also good.

Fabian Martin

Cute venue hidden inside a barber shop but once you enter the vibe is just completely normal. Drinks range from standard to crazy but I didn’t rly love it. Surprised it’s on the top 50 list tbh

Barbershop or bar ? Go through the library at the foot of the stairs to find out. A large bar for the quality and innovation that happens here. Go and have a crazy cocktail in what feels like the 50s!

True speakeasy style bar tucked below a faux barber shop owned by a Panda family. Really creative menu with a narrative story and original cocktails .

Kim Pham

Go through the bookcase to one of Edinburgh's best cocktail bars . Order a 50/50 Sazerac and thank me later.

Elizabeth

What a nice place! The great cocktails and speakeasy atmosphere make this place a winner! Very excited with the bookcase entrance and the barber shop theme.

Emily Soukas

Everything you want in a speakeasy bar : great cocktails , wonderful stories behind them, comfortable and relaxing interior, and super cute bartenders who love what they're doing. #juandirection

Halsted Bernard

Inventive, delicious cocktails in a cleverly-disguised location. And there's even a secret bookcase entrance .

Rachel K

Best cocktail bar in Edinburgh . Favorite cocktail : Genever Enough with a chai incense bit clipped onto the rim with a tiny clothes pin.

Brandon West

Sat at the bar and had great drinks and conversation with Blake. Same owners and similar concept to Hoot the Redeemer, but more of a chill and lounge vibe.

Shaun Fink

An awesome venue for a night out. Hidden bun under the guise of a barber shop , and accesses by a hidden doorway behind a bookshelf.

Roberto

Seriously great cocktails . All have a special flair about them. Infused with actual smoke or home roasted spices etc. Loved it

Ben Engen

Cool little speakeasy . I enjoyed my cocktail but I was surprised that this place has generated such rave reviews globally. For sure worth going, but seems overrated to me.

Dan Conway

Hidden away! This is not a barber shop and it is definitely not a library . Great for cocktails here.

Audrey BRUISSON

Love the speakeasy feeling to enter in a huge place! Drinks are delicious and deco pretty well done!

Rodrigo Pv

Great service and interesting cocktails . The whole deco is great and the concept of being kind of hidden is fun.

James Southorn

Trendy , edgy speakeasy in Edinburgh...it's like being back in London. Love it!

Daniel Schaefer

Very friendly staff . Tell the bartenders to invent something for you and you won't be disappointed!

Ben Monk

Amazing cocktails , great service and quirky setting!

rfrly

Great atmosphere but I wasn't blown away by the cocktails .

Alkis Polychroniadis

Try the Long Island Eclipse!!!

Darren Teo

Try the birdcage if you're not sure what to order. Friendly staff and unpretentious place. They do great classic cocktails too. We also ordered a Vieux Carre and Aviation which was good

Taylor Marsh

cocktails , speakeasy

Leah Thomas

Terrible visit - ordered and charged for a NZ Sauvignon Blanc but definitely not served one, shots tasted heavily watered down, cocktails weren’t great and popcorn given out was disgustingly stale.
