Sandwiched between two fast-food establishments, barely far enough from Old St tube for your eyes to adjust to the outside world, is this bar named after a nocturnal bird more commonly associated with open heathland than the urban jungle.

Earls Court is not somewhere known for its cocktail bars, and even less so for its cocktail bars that feel like walking onto a Hollywood set from the olden days. And then pops up Evans and Peel. Entrance to this … Continue

There is a time and a place for groundbreaking, elaborate and innovative cocktails but that time and place most definitely isn’t at El Camion. The original of this two-site ‘chain’ is tucked away over in Portobello but fortunately a newer incarnation is … Continue

Having opened its doors way back when in 1999, Rick’s has been a fixture and favourite of the George Street cocktailing scene for many a moon. The bar first came to my attention when I arrived in Edinburgh as a … Continue

Say the word “liqueur” to me and I’m instantly transported back to childhood Christmases. I’m 8-year old me, beaming as I take furtive, delighted sips from a thimble-sized serving of my Gran’s festive Malibu, carefully measured out by my poor, … Continue

In a city alive with the buzz of the latest opening or pop-up, there is something reassuringly comforting about an establishment that has been open since 1798. That sure is a long time by anyone’s standards and so it is … Continue

It’s a sad fact that, over the years, Edinburgh’s Grassmarket has become rather grimly synonymous with lairy hen and stag dos, and, as such, a part of town best given a wide berth come Saturday night. Which is a real … Continue

Friday night at 6pm is an interesting time to review a bar in central Edinburgh. On the one hand, with the extra pressure of attending to herds of post-work punters, it’s arguably the best time to test service, quality of … Continue

The first thing you’ll notice about Bramble is that it’s very difficult to find. I’ve been twice before, and on my third visit I managed to walk past it twice: before consulting Google maps, which gave me the completely wrong answer. … Continue

It started well enough; the steps leading down to this subterranean venue were just steep enough to instil a mildly thrilling sense of trepidation, and the decor reminded me of my favourite Parisian bistro. Had I known this was as … Continue
