“If you're after unique cocktails, then this is the place! I had the Get Steppin' (I'm pretty sure that was the name) which was a bit of a shock at the beginning, but the more I drank it, the more I appreciated the flavours. Definitely recommend.”

“This is my kind of place. It's small, it's unpretentious from the outside, it doesn't call itself a speakeasy despite the understated exterior and moody interior, it's not packed full of Instagram influencer wannabes, the staff is super, and the drinks are solid. I did feel a moment of cringe when I saw the giant clear iceblock, having not so great experiences with the obnoxious pretension of similar bars using those, but that hipster-aversion was quickly allayed. The staff was welcoming and cool. (Cool cool, not cold-shoulderish.) Laid back. I could tell it was the type of vibe I prefer. The space is intimate, and the backbar full. We took a table overlooking the bar and got the full show. Music wasn't too loud or in your face, just melodic ambient beats. And I do appreciate their attention to preventing flash photography as it's a small, dim venue and blinding flash is at best annoying, and at worst harmful. The cocktails are not showy. And that's fine with me. Not all cocktails need fancy garnishes and glassware to shine. After all, it's about flavour more than gimmicky presentation. I'm going to be honest that I don't actually remember the first cocktail I ordered as it was a few months back, but at the time I was very impressed by it. I then ordered the Affinity which is a prebatch in a bottle. I always find that a bit like cheating, but I also know people like the novelty of pouting their own drink at their table. I didn't like it as much as the others, but it was still a solidly good drink. So between smooth, well-balanced and crafted drinks, the chill ambience, and the lovely staff, it was definitely a 5-star sort of experience.”

“What a charming place!! And I loved the ode to some school R&B artists. I would definitely recommend this to others and come back the next time I visit. The service from the bartender was absolutely outstanding and he accommodated my allergens wonderfully (which is not an easy feat).”

“There's a reason Bramble is consistently highly ranked in the world's best cocktail bar listings. Original cocktails skilfully made in a cool, chilled environment at very reasonable prices. The highlight for me though (along with the top class booze) is the staff aren't pretentious unlike some other cocktail bars; they just want to find what you're after and give you a top experience. A must visit if visiting Edinburgh.”

“The bar didn't have the best decor but the service was very good. The selection of cocktails is unique, and the server was kind enough to talk through some to help us choose. My partner and I enjoyed our drinks and agreed that they were very different from other cocktails we had that same evening. Recommend this place if you fancy something different!”
