Usquabae Whisky - Edinburgh, City of

Amazing place to celebrate my birthday. I had a Whisky Tasting based on my personal taste, with a great variety. Gabriel was in charge of the tasting that day and everything was perfect! We also had dinner in West End Brasserie (the restaurant upstairs) after the tasting, Sandra was one of our servers and bartender, and helped us choose the best option for food and drinks for each of us. I highly recommend everyone I know to come!

This could be the best whiskey bar you'll ever visit. The atmosphere, the menu, and the wonderful conversations with the staff all contribute to a magical experience that is an absolute must for a relaxing, cozy, and contemplative time out. I will definitely be returning here soon!

Spur of the moment visit from hotel across the street. We were treated to a relaxed and enjoyable late-afternoon break, learning about different regions via a handful of selections suggested by our kind waiter, who was from Argentina. Looking forward to my next visit…..

Edinburgh was busy for the rugby. And Usquabae was too but this restaurant/whisky bar is noticeably well managed so the vibe was calm. Service excellent. Food outstanding and prices very reasonable I've paid three times this amount in other places for food not even half as good. So it's unreservedly a 5 stars from me.

Nice ambience in early evening Tremendous selection of fine and rare whisky Initially I had phoned up to enquire about booking but was told that a booking was not required and just to come On arrival was asked for a booking and explained the above, It didn’t go down particularly well with staff but that was soon cleared up. Later into the evening, the ambience started to change from a tranquil more intimate softly lit venue due to very loud patrons and loud music more like a standing bar so at this point list its edge on class and sophistication which it initially presented with. Not that much of a problem but it was more pleasant when quieter and more relaxed and not so loud and raucous. The whisky was delightful, lots of choice. Got the chance to try some nice rare whisky too which you certainly don’t find anywhere very often. I would go again, but for early evenings when it’s not loud. *Still not sure if they want you to book or not?
