Only been to the whisky bar so my review is purely related to that. The whole place has a quite exclusive atmosphere, it's nice and cozy and you feel well treated.The bar has a good selection of drams anywhere in range of 4 and 210 GBP. I found quite a few that were on the menu but not on the bar. The overall experience was great, staff was very friendly, knowledgeable and able to recommend more and we had a good chat! The gentlemen there let us also take pictures of some of their beautiful bottles as well, I really appreciated that:)We planned to come again before our departure, but didn't manage at the end. But I definitely plan to come back in the future and I do recommend to stop by and have a few drams:) Wish all the business and staff good luck in the future and we are looking forward to come back again.

Whisky tasting at it's finest. Knowledgeable, funny, and a whole around pros. Didn't got to taste the food, but Heard Good things about it two.

The location and atmosphere are great and so is the selection of whisky and the food is good but a bit pricey. We felt like we would have appreciated someone to spend some time to explain the whisky menu and to give us some recommendations (or at least ask if we needed any) as the selection is huge and if you are not an expert it can be quite confusing. Overall it was a pleasant experience.

Ask for a booth when you book! It's super cozy if you do get one (rocking chairs are amazing). The whisky list is huge and not very informative, but the food menu has some pairing suggestions in case you come unprepared. Food was great too by the way.

Delicious cocktails. The bartender tastes each drink before it goes out and he knows what he’s doing. Also the deserts we ordered were absolutely delicious.

Staff was very friendly and helpful and the selection of whiskey is fantastic . My only problem was the price, averaging £5 a dram they must be making at least 500% profit on the bottles.

Very cool whisky bar with a great atmosphere. They have a big selection of whiskies, also some very rare ones, and the prices are actually very reasonable. The service was outstandingly friendly! We also ordered dessert there. +1 for the vegan key lime pie. Fantastic place, highly recommended!

Everyone has mentioned the whisky (the range is amazing and good prices) the beer (which was good ) and the amazing alcoves which are actually under the pavement outside and give the place a mellow atmosphere even when it is busy and worth a visit just for that. The food is also fantastic especially if you are a carnivore as I had the venison with chocolate dirt and I’ve never seen so much meat on a plate. My partner had the lamb and it too was a lot of meat with broad beans. The service has to be good with all the alcoves to attend to. Great place.

Best Whisky bar in Edinburgh.The selection on the menu is normally fantastic. Covering the various regions of Scotland as well as a selection from across the globe.The price points also suit a range of budgets.Interior decor is dark and comfortable. Seating options consist of: at the bar, a large table for bigger crowds, smaller tables or a series of "private booth" areas which are well integrated to the theme.Staff are usually chatty, very knowledgeable and eager to help you find the best whisky for your tastes.Organised tasting sessions can be organised on request.

We had such a great time. We came here for a Whisky flight and it was awesome. Great, very well-educated and friendly staff. They took their time with us and we also ordered food, which was delicious. Will visit this place again, if I ever come back to Edinburgh. Thank you for the good time we had!
