"I booked expecting quite high-end style/experience (I was thinking The Campbell NYC) but it was rather different. We arrived having booked a table, and were seated outside in a tent around a small table on astroturf next to a road, (surrounded by a few tables of dirty glasses). I was expecting a seat inside as nothing indicated otherwise when booked, so i 'd advising calling. Our server was v.friendly. Another taller server approached us after we’d been seated and made a smart comment about a box I had just put on the floor 'you can 't eat here’ she said, as if I was getting out a knife and fork! It was cold outside (they do have heaters) so I asked for a seat inside as when I went to the bathroom I noticed over six free tables, (FYI this is a hotel and the bar is a reception area so people sit with shopping bags/cases waiting to check in). When they did seat us inside (reluctantly) after requesting we wait outside whilst they checked, they proceeded to sit us in a corner next to the service counter looking behind the bar and right next to another couple when plenty of other seats were free, with only one table taken inside during our stay. At this point I was ready to go as clearly they didn’t want us there, it was sad as I was celebrating my birthday as I mentioned on my reservation. We were ready to settle down and drink a lot of cocktails that afternoon (the one I got wasn 't to my taste but 10/10 for using vegan egg) but it wasn’t to be and on reflection if I’d had checked their Instagram page I’d have avoided. Fortunately we had a reservation at The Dome and had a lovely time that evening. In terms of the clientele checking in, we did realise it wasn’t our vibe, it was kind of like Gucci belt/TOWIE place, we were casual but had just come from The Ivy where we had no issues but felt unwanted here. People appeared to be profiled as to who got a seat inside and who didn’t. This may be the perect place for you but don 't think overall we were a good match!"

Just arrived in Edinburgh and grabbed some beautiful cocktails. Bartender was great and the drinks started off the Hogmanay weekend perfectly!

Excellent little bar. We didn't have any bites to eat. So disregard the point system. Staff were very polite and professional. Great starting point or ending point when out on the town

Drinks with a friend. We were seated in the outdoor area which was cosy and decorated to the same standard as indoors. All the cocktails we had we enjoyed. All style and substance. Great service too. View menu

I went out for drinks with a friend and we chose to sit in the outdoor area, which was cozy and just as nicely furnished as the indoor space. We enjoyed all the cocktails, each one having both style and substance. The service was excellent as well.

did not eat here, but had cocktails outside under a dach on the roadside. the personal was beautiful, but the location is bad, and the overly expensive cocktail was in the ground a little alcohol (equipped to be champagne) in a huge buck from crushed ice to the point where it tasted like not much. that was raw paper (which is good), but extended and you could not thro it. I don't mind paying high prizes if something is great, but that was certainly not.
