About The Black Cat

Independent Single Malt Sanctuary on Rose Street

Located on Edinburgh's historic Rose Street in the New Town, The Black Cat is an independent pub passionately dedicated to Scotland's greatest drinks. With rustic reclaimed wood interiors, warm mood lighting, and friendly staff who know their malts intimately, it provides an authentic retreat from modern chain bars.

  • Curated Whisky Gantry: Over 150 single malts ranging from peat-smoke Islay drams to smooth Lowlands and rare cask-strength bottlings.
  • Scottish Craft Beers: Independent draft taps from Tempest, Cromarty, and Stewart Brewing.
  • Trad Sessions: Intimate live acoustic Scottish folk music sessions several nights a week.
