Once Upon a Thyme and whiskey pours
Once Upon a Thyme anchors the cocktail side, while whiskey, gin and craft beer broaden the order. This suits a mixed group choosing between a named drink and familiar bar categories.
9 Advocate's Close historic building
9 Advocate's Close puts The Devil's Advocate in Edinburgh, and the venue occupies a historic building. Casual dress and casual service keep the planning low-friction.
Lounge, booths and outdoor terrace
Seated bar, lounge seating, booths and an outdoor terrace give several ways to settle in. A lively noise level makes this a better fit for social plans than a quiet sit-down.
