The cocktails are truly amazing. Well balanced and delicious. The Bloody Mary martini is an absolute must try. The bartender we had was lovely. Very relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, could spend an evening here so happily. read more

Thank Logan the bartender! Great service, great drinks, great atmosphere! Skip the tourist traps and head to Lucky. You will have a great drink and the staff is friendly and helpful. Thanks to Logan I have the inside scoop on our next stop in Copenhagen as well! Don't let the unassuming front fool you! read more

Excellent Cocktails and friendly staff. Nice atmosphere in a charming cosy bar they have a pool table down stairs.

Nice little neighborhood pub but they take their cocktails serious. They have their own creation of cocktails and some daily special. If you are into trying something new you should give it a visit. Or you can just come order a draft beer and sit outside and look over to the park. This place is cozy and cute. read more

I had been wanting to go along to Lucky Liquor for ages, but for whatever reason couldn't get a convenient time. Then Caz organised a UYE Craft & Cocktail night and I finally got my chance. It doesn't seem to be a very big venue, but it was cozy to slip in to out of the rain. Table service for cocktails is always a nice touch, as is the water delivered to the table straight away too - we've got to keep ourselves hydrated after all! The cocktails are incredible - lots of thought has gone on to every aspect; the taste; the presentation; the garnishes. I need to go back again, just to work my way through a few more drinks. read more

I'm going to give Lucky Liquor a 3*. I was a bit p*ssed when I came but I could still walk and talk and most of all I wanted them to make me a cocktail based on my fav ingredients - this is claimed to be their selling point or USP... I did ask for a couple of things but they were 'out of that' or 'don't have that'. Hmmm. Another friend also mentioned having this issue too. I had a cocktail - fairly boozy but not that memorable. Nope, not due to the aforementioned previously consumed drink as I can remember the majority of wines sampled that night, just not that memorable. So, we'll see how this goes. I will give it another try at some point, no doubt during cocktail quest to see if the rating improves.... read more

Lucky Liquor is a funny one, superbly hipster, cocktails in light bulbs, a record player playing classic vinyls and a small but well formed cocktail list. Last night however I was a bit disappointed, they offer table service, yet despite there only being two tables of two people in (of which we were one) we had to go and ask for the menu, and then after an unreasonably long wait, go and order at the bar. Other tables which people had left were left dirty and not cleared for ages. Despite the nice cocktails, the service could do with some improvement or it'll be a while before I visit again. read more

Immediantley steeping into this interior I loved the vibe. The decor really sang to me! After we sat down the bartender gave us a wee glass of water, toatlly unusual but I like that touch! That extra mile goes far. The cocktail menu is full of drinks which sound amazing. The bartender asked me what i usually drink and that's normally a french martini, but i wish i had something else - not that the drink was bad I just wish I opted for the wild card and went for something else. Defo coming here again for a wee quiet drink - it's a wwe jem on Queen street. read more

Try the paloma! From the people who brought you Bramble, there is a new kid in town. Lovely little place on Queen street where they choose your cocktails for you based around what you like drinking. We all loved our drinks and the service was great read more

Nice selection of cocktails - but many are prepackaged- wasn't overwhelmed by anything - good not great

Ooh, nice! You know somewhere's ok when they deliver your friend a drink with a clockwork monkey on a string. Chessboard floor, plenty of seating, nice downstairs by the looks of things and an efficient, if taciturn, water. What I really liked was that the instant anyone arrived, the waiter appeared with a weeny tumbler of water to drink while a harder option was decided upon (or not-so-hard, in my case). There's not much in the way of a written menu - just a price list with names and prices, so you'd have to enquire. I think the idea is you pick one - like a lucky dip, hence the name. That's my guess anyway. I requested a mocktail and was asked not what kind of flavour I'd like, which is the usual question, but what I'd like to avoid. Heh. Interesting. No bananas, please, I say, and off he zooms to create something for me. Well, full marks for the not-banana. It definitely didn't have any of that in it. Also no coffee or lamb, so we're on a winner here, folks. All the same, it didn't knocktail my socktails off; it seemed to me more like just bitter lemon with a mint sprig. That said, it was very mature - not that sweet and fruity - and lots of lovely crushed ice to play with afterward. Also, it only cost £3.50. Huzzah! read more

This is so far my favourite cocktails place in the city! I have been there a couple of times now and just love it every time! This place is this little underground bar that isn't the easiest to see; but it is a gem! Their drinks are delicious and even if a little pricey, that is exactly what i would expect to pay for a nice cocktail; it always has the right amount of liquor and the presentation is always on point! I ordered a few and they were all oooh so delicious so i would say, pick anything that sounds good to you and i am pretty sure you will enjoy it! tips - there is a pool table downstairs read more

From the team behind Bramble & the excellent The Last Word Saloon comes a new hip drinking joint above ground. Located on Queen Street the bar is reminiscent of an American diner with tiled floors & bucket seats. I headed here after partaking in some cocktails at The Last Word Saloon as my friend & I desired one more for the road. They have a small cocktail menu located on a cute, retro board which I chose from, picking Lucky 13. It was delish and served in a cute milk bottle. My friend wanted a Vespa Martini which wasn't on the menu but after asking our very friendly & knowledgable waitress if he could order off menu, he was served a 'perfect' cocktail. The bar also has seating outside so in fine weather it would be a nice spot to savour a fine drink. read more

Me and my friend ended up here after checking its yelp reviews (YAY!) It did not disappoint. The staff were attentive, yet chilled. Water was served without having to ask. Cocktails were super cute. We did not feel the need to leave super fast and giggled our way into the night here. Plus points for me were the menu, which was small but varied and I felt this type of menu meant that the mixologist spent time on each one making them perfect. Price was reasonable for the atmosphere, drinks and the amazing evening we had. Will be back soon read more

I am so glad that there are places like this in Edinburgh. Cool and understated comes to mind. The staff clearly know their stuff and were more than happy to talk us through the cocktail options and ingredients. I will definitely be back here, such a refreshing change to the packed bars on George Street and worth every penny. Circa £6.50-£7.00 per cocktail but delicious! read more

Hard to find but well worth it. A tiny room of a bar run by 3 staff who did not stop all night. The cocktails are utterly amazing. I recommend the Black Forest. The decor pays homage to a 50's diner but feels cosy and homely. The music is good and not too loud. read more

Yes... it 'tis a theme. I do prefer my cocktail bars and other bars and anywhere I can get anything to drink to be slightly hopping (but not so hopping that I can't get a seat) on a Friday afternoon at 5pm, my personal wasted-time preference. So Friday I took a wander... ok a mini-wander down the street from my place of occupation and I took a seat at an outdoor table and what did I see to my surprise (no surprise, I've totally been here before) a magical blue-eyed hipster creature... with sleeve tattoos that I may have imagined and he made me the most oh-so-perfect cocktail consisting of only the ingredients I love, and none that I loathe. And then there were 3 (maybe 5) more equally brilliant, equally delicious and boozy concoctions that delighted every taste bud I had and some other buds too. Now some suggestions on how to order here... as you must be careful to not say anything that will lead them astray - lest they create a delectable, yet surprising drink that you never knew you would have loved! First, tell them a type of alcohol you like. Then tell them four other types you don't mind. Then tell them the one you don't like... but that if they combined it with something you liked it wouldn't be so bad. Next tell them about your favorite fruit... and then tell them that you like all fruit... and other spices and flavors... but not rosemary, cause rosemary is gross. Then... tell them to make you a cocktail without rosemary. Voila!!!! The single, seven greatest cocktails you've had in your life and a girls' night out to remember... sort of. Bed by midnight. read more

This place was a good example of "does what it says on the tin", although I'm not sure I'm using that phrase correctly. :) It's a wee bit on the small side, but with table service and a decent mix of random and creative cocktails this is completely fine and generally preferred for a relaxed evening... I am curious as to what this place could be like on an overly busy night, if they let people crowd the bar and stand around it could be a nightmare given the amount of time it takes to make drinks, but they may not allow this... I've seen similar bars that offer table service take this approach. (There is also a downstairs, but it seats very few people at the moment.) I can see where for many people this place would slide between 3 and 4, and even 5, stars... there's just so much a small place like this with pseudo pricey cocktails has to get right. For me it's a rounded up 3.7 for now, but I have a friend visiting Edinburgh shortly that will likely flip over at the place and declare it an immediate 5. The cocktails were quite creative, both in ingredients and presentation... one is served in a light bulb glass and another, called "Happy Moments", on a picture frame. The drinks were also consistently good, but unfortunately none of them blew me away... I believe that may be down to personal preference however, and I will certainly try some of their other creations when in the area and in the mood for something different. The service was sincere, but expectedly a bit slower... good cocktails don't mix themselves after all. read more

Lucky Liquor Co is definitely our favourite cocktail place, having tried quite a few in an altruistic and obsessive desire for fairness and completeness. It's a low-key spot, and generally easy to get a table. For a while we'd settled on visiting their sister location, Brambles, but we could never get on with the basement setting. Others might consider it cosy and romantic, but we thought it claustrophobic and oppressive. And, to be honest, the cocktails never seemed that good. LLC is on the ground floor, and while it's a long and narrow venue, and it's generally dark when we're there, it still feels quite airy. They have a room in the basement, but we never sit there. Their twist on the cocktail is a fixed selection of spirits and mixers (no choosing your gin here), and a desire to find out your taste preferences before recommending a cocktail from their selection. S settled on a Gin Daisy at our first visit, and I had an extra dry vodka martini. Both excellent, and I'm afraid that in multiple further visits we've not had anything else. Creatures of habit. The service is excellent; really friendly and helpful. I'm hoping that it gets busy enough to stay in business, but not so busy that we can't get our favourite spot. read more

Been meaning to review for ages - small, perfectly formed cocktail bar on Queen St in Edinburgh. 13 drinks used to create 13 cocktails served for 13 weeks. Beer and off license available. Service was attentive but not intrusive, providing excellent explanations of the more exotic ingredients. I would always try to squeeze in a Brooklyn, which is the house's "bottle conditioned" version of my favourite cocktail, the Manhattan. On my visit also had a Coco and Co, which is to me seemed a variant of the Margherita. All cocktails were very well presented, arriving quickly. The venue is small but comfortable. Nice bar design with white tiles and lit coloured liquor bottles. Excellent. read more

Oh. My. The coctails are divine and just enough gimmick-y. The megawatt was delish! I really enjoyed the place as it wasn't packed with drunk people, and the music wasn't too loud. Maybe I'm getting old, but when I go out for drinks I want to enjoy some good alcohol and be able to communicate with my friends. read more

Best cocktails in Scotland. No question. Possibly also the best music. Visit before the rest of Edinburg discovers this place.

We popped in her for a UYE evening that Caz so lovely organised, crafts, cocktails and cake! I mean what could be better! It was a fun and chill night. Some people had brought proper crafts with then, kitting, embroidery, while I brought clay... haha . I was able to share some of my wonderful modelling clay with those that had come 'craft-less'. the cake Caz got was amazing, but don't get excited they don't serve cake here, only bar snacks but they looked tasty. Really they should serve cake! Just saying ALL Bars should serve cake! They are really missing a whole market there! Anywhoo John and I ordered two rounds of different unique drinks. I had one in a light bulb! It tasted of tyme and other magical cocktail things! The drinks were all well presented, really unique! So not only were you getting different types/styles of cocktails you also got really creatively presented ones! It drew me in and I would defiantly come back. read more

Well, here we have another cocktail bar in Edinburgh and it is following the tried and trusted formula of very enthusiastic staff and a good selection of choice. It's quite a quirky scene and the very cool thing is the selection of music being played in the bar, all on vinyl! Sunday is bring your own vinyl and you can hear music as it should be! read more

Recently moved to this end of town and this is one neat little bar. Service was great. A well honed, edgy cocktail list however as I am of a certain age the addition of a coffee machine and a few more dry bar snack options would boost it to 5 stars. read more

Fantastic cocktails; well selected and curated flavors. Hard to find a cocktail that won't challenge and delight your palette! Had this place recommended and was not disappointed. Entry has a but of an ice cream shoppe flair. Stayed for two drinks, the mixologist sat down and discussed the flavor profiles - it was great! If you are looking for something more than the ale/wine scene (which they do have too!) give this place a try. You will not be disappointed. read more

Great music. Fantastic cocktails if a bit pricey. Everyone gets water which is a nice touch, makes the wait bearable.
