Edinburgh has a long, dark history of illicit drinking dens and hidden taverns. Today, that spirit is kept alive by a thriving network of incredibly high-end, secretive cocktail bars scattered beneath the city streets.
Hidden in Plain Sight
You might walk past these venues every single day without noticing them. Sometimes masquerading as an innocent barber shop or an abandoned office, the thrill is in finding the door.
Subterranean Sanctuaries
Descend into the vaults of the New Town or the steep closes of the Old Town to find cavernous spaces dedicated to the art of mixology.
Remember, half the fun is finding the entrance. Just don’t tell them we sent you.
