It's not often you come across a great cocktail bar where everything on the menu sounds amazing. This place has amazing cocktails, many of the rum based and come in a range of tiki style glassware. Unlike more hipster joints, these cocktails are packed with taste (and alcohol). Prices are very reasonable and it's a great atmosphere. Definitely recommend.

I have only discovered this place recently and am totally in love with it. The drinks are great, the rum selection is inspiring and now a personal challenge for my husband and I to make our way through. The food is great, straightforward and so tasty. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. We've gone as a couple for a date night and twice with a group of friends and the place worked well on all occasions. I would recommend anyone looking for a night out in Edinburgh to try here.

Great bar with a lovely staff, a competent Barman and a good choices of variation on the traditional cocktail. The show around their making is a nice touch to your drink (nice touches like a "flambé" on a cocktail). It's a fun place, with good music and a nice mood. A Greta place to spend time with friends.

Fan of rum? Trying to get into rum? This is the place for you. I can't speak for the food as I've never tried it yet. Bar staff are more than willing to talk about their favourite rums and make recommendations. Overall a great place to chill out and enjoy some decent alcohol. My only complaint is that the toilets - although nicely decorated - have no soap!
