Various cocktails

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.

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.
