The Black Cat in Chiltern

My friend and I came when it was quite busy. We sat on a large table and were very kindly asked if we could move to accommodate a large group. More than happy to oblige as the staff had been really nice. Even though we didn't ask they compensated us with some free snacks, cannot fault the service. Been here a few times now the service has always been good.

I made a reservation for drinks after my wedding. They allocated us a table outside, as we found out in the day. I never got to see the inside of the pub and it drizzled a bit of rain too. I would have much preferred to be inside with our group and maybe get a whisky flight instead of being cold. Far from impressed, happy to not go back.

Nice pub with a great choice of whisky. Live music on the weekend til 7pm

Visited here twice with my partner over Valentines weekend and both times were absolutely brilliant. Massive whisky selection and Laura and Lauren behind the bar were the best craic! One of the nights had a trad band in the corner which meant for an incredible energetic atmosphere and the night without had the pub feeling so chill and cozy. Everyone who visits Edinburgh should pop in for a pint at LEAST once ❤️

Great atmosphere and knowledge of Whisky. 110% recommend

FANTASTIC SCOTTISH PUB for WHISKEY!! We stumbled upon The Black Cat when looking for a traditional Scottish pub for a PROPER WHISKEY. I'm not an expert and my girlfriend had never tried whiskey before so we asked Robyn who served us for the evening to help us decide. Robyn was so helpful and really knew a lot about the whiskies they had to offer. Robyn presented us with two delicious wee drams based on what kind of drinks we usually like and they were DELICIOUS! So delicious we kept having more. Very well priced too for the experience. Definitely would recommend going on Wednesday when they have live traditional Scottish music, they also have a quiz on Tuesday's which we would have loved to have done.

What a cute pub we stumbled on - lovely staff and great ambiance in there. The mulled wine and hot toddy hit the spot.

Great place all around. Great, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Excellent live music a couple of days a week.

Had a great whisky flight! My boyfriend and I both had one but we have pretty different taste in whisky and the bar tender helped choose 2 different flights to our liking in our price range. He was very knowledgeable and told us some great info about the whiskys we were drinking. Really enjoyable experience. Great chips too 😋

Went mid-afternoon when it wasn't too busy. I asked for help choosing a whiskey flight for a moderate price point and was greeted with enthusiastic response while staff helped pick a customized experience for me based on my preferences. The barman explained elementary and more in-depth information about each whiskey including geographical considerations for each distillery, casks, green/ecological initiatives for each, management styles for businesses, and typical nose and palate profiles. An extremely kind and educational whiskey experience. Would strongly recommend for those looking for a guided expansion to the palate, tourists, or dates.
