Been going for years and years, since even before the extension and love the drinks and atmosphere. Staff are always friendly and welcoming and most have been there for years, so they all know exactly how to WOW the customer. Its the little touches that matter and they know it. The pitchers are outrageously sexy and the music always kicks. Great place to start off your night and even if you go in grumpy and stone cold sober, your troubles will be melt away in a flavoured vodka haze and you'll leave in the perfect party mood. Be warned though, this place is not for the faint-hearted or the generic binge-drinker, and the shots/cocktail menu is extensive so you'll end up a regular before long. The best local ever!

Fantastic selection of Vodka, good place to go for a quick one. Not the kind of place to relax over a couple of pints though

The 5 minutes I spent in this bar rates as my worst 5 mins ever!I ordered 2 teas...but on taking my money the barman returned to say he wouldnt serve me. Reason 'this is business love'. Oh yes - how shortsighted of me - as he could be getting 2 boozers on my floorspace! How shortsighted was he - me being in marketing!

Its a vodka bar that plays hip hop/ RnB loud. If you like this combination you'll love this place, if not then stay well clear. The cocktail menu is the biggest i've seen. first visited in 94 when a fresher, and never did get around to cocktail 100.

Love, love, love this bar! Always has a great atmosphere & the shot menu has to be seen to be believed. Can sometimes get very busy at weekends, but it's worth the queue at the bar!

I love this bar, its stylish, classy & a great place to take a first date. BUT if it wasnt for its constant R&B music this place could be up there with the best in Edinburgh.

This is an excellent place to chill and have a good time or even just sit with a few friends and get drunk. Love it! I think I've tried all the vodka's on the menu now and may have to start at number one again:)
Excellent vibe and friendly staff - who directed us to The Honey Pot restuarant a few doors up to get some excellent and affordable food. That's a cool place as well!

OK, not so much a pilgimage bar, or a must see Bar for me. I've been drinking there since 1994.

It's a great bar, with good staff, they have an excellent menu of cocktails and shots, scaled all the way up to pitcher size.

The music is urban & hardcore hip hop, which is not my thing, but never really becomes an issue, if you want to sit with a bunch of mates, and chat, sit on the traditional side.

However, discover it for yourself, since it is the greatest bar in the UK. Just don't be a woose and order a pint. show some imagination :)
