Sous Chef

The Devil's Advocate

Situated in an old Victorian pump house hidden away on Advocate's Close in the historic and atmospheric Old Town. This bar is home to over 300 Scottish and world whiskies, and although widely celebrated for this unique collection, the team also serve devilishly good cocktails, a considered wine list and selected craft beers. As a unique setting in which to enjoy an expertly mixed drink, or learn more about Scotland's favourite spirit, it's pretty hard to beat. But add in the delicious food menu which is a celebration of the very best of Scottish produce, boasting seasonal and local ingredients, and it's no wonder The Devil's Advocate has been rated as one of the Top 500 Most Influential Bars in the World.
