Recommend to visit by a work colleague and we were not disappointed. Staff were friendly and attentive. Cocktails were exchanged made my wife alcohol free ones as she was the driver. Well worth a visit and lots to choose from.

If this is the best cocktail bar in Edinburgh, I prefer to have a beer at the train station
Dark atmosphere, dirty tables and cocktails that seem to be made casually

Loved our visit to Bramble. Proper underground hidden bar. Great cocktails, quality rums as well. Staff are very helpful and friendly; background music is soulful. Great location for catching up with friends or romantic drink as it has cosy hidden corner seating as well as tables.

This is one of our go-to speak easy bars in Edinburgh. Find the dry cleaning shop and head down the old, bleak looking stairs. The gold plaque on the wall lets you know you are in the right place. Walk inside to a fabulous bar, well hidden from the streets. Interesting cocktails all around circa GBP 9 each. Very groovy music, relaxed but exciting atmosphere. The bar tender saw me shazam’ing a song and kindly directed to the bars Spotify playlist he had created. That is attention to detail and super service. Seats are limited and it is very popular. This is the only bar in the world where we start cocktails at 4pm. That is because we go right on opening time to ensure we get a seat. My favourite cocktail is the Tomatillo. Unusual taste but delicious. Highly recommended.

We visit a hell of a lot of cocktail bars but this has certainly been one of the best and so it wasn't a surprise we had to wait a while for a table...definitely worth the wait. Knowledgeable and friendly staff, home made ingredients going into the drinks, extensive menu and a very cool atmosphere with fantastic music.
