Went for a whisky tasting for a friends birthday. This is not to miss in Scotland! Worth every penny and I actually know a thing or two about whisky now. The guides are amazing.

As ever, you cannot fault the Whisky Rooms at the Societies Queen Street venue. New malts every time , together with a lovely set of rooms, and equally high quality food from the bar .

Michael Oglethorpe

I recommend getting there around mid afternoon for a bar meal as they can run out. Excellent choice that complements the main stars of the Society, their unique single malts & grain whiskers.

Anthony Cameron

The best restaurant in town and relatively unknown. The public bar and member rooms are a great place to have a drink and the staff are very good and knowledgable .

Neel Hajare

Not crowded if you go early. Staff is very helpful in explaining how their bottles work and recommending based on your tastes

Duke

Fantastic location to sit back, relax and having one of these highly recommended whiskies from the society. Club members only !!!!

Don't be shy, the range is incredible, as are the bar staff so just sit back and relax-you're in safe hands.

Craig Johnstone

Always ask the bar staff for the fish special. They are so good, they sometimes neglect to make them public knowledge ... Sublime!

Steven Hill

Do I really need to leave a tip for here? If you know me, or the society, then you already know all you need to.

Queen's Hall

Members-only organisation devoted to whisky but don't let that put you off. Open, stylish , welcoming environment & staff . A haven in the city centre.
