- Bex E4 contributionsAll 5 comedians were hilarious, had me (20s) and my mum (50s) belly laughing the whole time.

- Νικόλας ΣκορδέληςThessaloniki, Greece8 contributionsWe went there on a very busy afternoon due to the festival, plus it was raining and many people were searching for a place to rest.
In the main door there was a sign "Please wait here until youll be seated" and after a while a friendly member of the staff asked how many persons we are. As long as we waited for our table we seated at the bar and had a tasteful Whisky.
The food was great (Haggis Tower , Scotch steak pie,WHISKI’S BURGER, RUMP STEAK and for desert WHISKI CRANACHAN and STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING) and the staff was very friendly and helpful.
Next evening we got back again. Everything was great once again, just our order was a litle bit late because of the steak we wanded it well done. But due to this, they bought us our next round of drinks!
I highly recommend this place. The atmosphere is great too and after 10.00 there is live music.
PS Another bar In contrast , we went before, we couldnt understand how much time it needs to be seated , where to wait, nothing! The only thing they told us, was, that I have to take of my jacket if we seat because it was of a football club jacket!Written August 10, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- julhepEdinburgh, United Kingdom38 contributionsA great place with a Pornstar Martini Menu including a bathtub to share! My husband ordered a not on menu dry martini and it was great too. Prices were not too high either (for Edinburgh)
Nice vibe, eclectic decor which we loved and the staff were really friendly.
We booked here for after a day of rugby and a birthday celebration meal with our kids in their 20’s and we all agreed would come back again with various friends.Written August 8, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- hutchTranent, UK7 contributionsThe bar staff were very friendly and were on hand to give advice when choosing a cocktail. We are Star Wars fans so loved the decor and the Star Wars themed cocktails.

- 913Amandaf64East Riding of Yorkshire, UK6 contributionsCame across whistle Binkies buy pure chance. I was with my son visiting family and went for a wander…. hoping to find some live music. We weren’t disappointed….we ended up staying all night. Fab atmosphere, ambiance. Love this sort of venue. In the basement. Reminded me of the cavern in Liverpool. great band playing. Will definitely return.Written July 23, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Hannah C12 contributionsThis is hands down my favorite pub/bar I have ever visited, and I've been to thousands. The people were so friendly and went out of their way to make us feel welcome as well as handwriting a long list of other pubs and landmarks to visit based on our interests. The live music was also great and not just your typical pub classics (though those were great too). The building itself is also beautiful and while it is wee, it's bright and airy with plenty of room and all of the classic furnishings you hope to see. I truly cannot wait to come back for many more visits!Written July 6, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BillGibson1New York City, NY282 contributionsDisclaimer: I'm not really a Scotch drinker. I like various whiskeys, but never got into Scotch for whatever reason. Since we were staying here, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to learn a little about Scotch, and do some tastings. And wow, this place blew me away.
It's not large, so I would advise trying to go on a weeknight, or any night where the hotel isn't crowded. We had a tasting of 3 different Scotches, high end Scotch, and the staff spent like 10-15 minutes explaining all of them in great detail. It was awesome, like just what I needed.
I think they have around 200+ different Scotches. So if you are a Scotch connoisseur, you would love it. If you are a total novice like me, you'll love it.
In terms of bars specific to liquors, this is arguably one of the best I've ever been to. If you are even remotely interested in Scotch, I'd recommend a visit here.Written May 23, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The staff are amazing and very friendly. Definitely well worth a visit.Written August 5, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
