Creative cocktails & wonderful whiskies in Stockbridge.

Founded in 2012 by Jason Scott and Mike Aikman - the brains behind renowned Edinburgh cocktail bars Bramble and Lucky Liquor - we want to make sure people can have delicious, creative drinks without having to trek up the hill into the city centre.
The best of Scotland and beyond.

Edinburgh serves as a gateway to the best of what Scotland can offer and we’ve always tried to echo that idea with a range of more than a hundred whiskies from across the country and beyond. Our constantly evolving selection features interesting bottles from well-known distilleries and unique bottlings from shiny new up-and-comers while our bartenders are always happy to guide guests towards a dram that will work for them.
We’re here for your perfect night out - whatever that is.
Whether you’re stopping in for after work beers, pre-dinner cocktails, or a whisky flight to follow a meal, we’re here to give you the night you want.
Our warm, welcoming team of bartenders uses their passion and skill to create a diverse and intriguing menu of signature cocktails and are always more than happy to craft a classic or put together a tasting flight of whiskies tailored to your desires.
In addition to our curated collection of single malt and blended Scotch whiskies, we’re passionate about finding great flavour across everything we do and our shelves are filled with a wide selection of spirits and liqueurs to suit all moods, wines from across the world, and craft beers from all over Scotland and beyond.

This bar was one of the highlights of our trip to Edinburgh. Top notch cocktails in a super cosy and relaxed setting. The bartenders always friendly and had great recommendations including some unique cider options!
A fantastic selection of drinks and great, unexpected table service from the team. We enjoyed our time here but would like to visit again on a quieter evening.
The Last Word has to be the cosiest cocktail place I've visited in Edinburgh, with a chill and relaxing ambience. The service was great and the cocktails were top tier. Would definitely recommend for cocktail enthusiasts and looking forward to visiting again soon.
