Bramble

Located down a small set of stairs on the corner of Queen Street, Bramble is easy to miss if you don’t know where to look. But this tiny bar is an Edinburgh highlight, mixing some of the finest cocktails in town with DJs every Friday and Saturday night.

The bar is small and intimate, with several cushion-covered corners to disappear into for the evening. The cocktails range from old classics to new inventions of Bramble’s bartenders, with some served in fine-bone china teacups.

Its popularity means that ‘intimate’ becomes ‘packed’ on the weekends, and being cocktails, the prices aren’t cheap. But if you want to try something special, Bramble is your bar.
