You may choose a flight of whiskey or the bartender will help you find a good match. Great atmosphere and good background music playing.

Exceptional whiskey collection, as one would expect. Food is delicious. We visited with two toddlers and the staff was warm and extremely professional. A perfect warm place in Edinburgh.

oh man, amazing selection of whiskys w staff who can describe every one...the sun-dried tomato and pork sausages were great, so was the fish and chips ...

Fantastic place for a night cap with a huge selection of eau de vie. Holly is a fount of whisky knowledge and can pair your tastes to a bottle behind the bar . Bands play Scottish music from 9.30!

Haggis was great and the steak too. Ended the night with a whisky flight. Staff were very stretched but despite slow service a great evening

Incredible decoration and selection of whiskies ! Food is alright though on the pricey side. The cranachan is fabulous.

Had the venison steak & partner had sea bass absolutely spot on Michelin star cooking, red wine great too + rounded off by a few wee drams of glenfarcys

I second the tips on the Thistly Cross Cider and anything with whiski sauce (the haggis is awesome). Wish the cider was on tap rather than bottled though.
