Review: Old Poison Distillery Bar, a cocktail bar in Leith

November 2, 2026 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Old Poison Distillery Bar on Portland Place is a hidden gem for cocktails and snacks. With neon skulls and a speakeasy vibe, it is perfect for a date night or business drinks. Highly recommended for your next night out in Leith.

Review: Duck Pond by Circa @ Edinburgh Festival Theatre

November 1, 2026 by Bronwen Winter Phoenix Leave a Comment

Review: Cafe Piccante, a chippy in the city centre

October 22, 2026 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Known for its purple boxes and smiley face logo, Cafe Piccante serves Edinburgh revellers until 3 am. The chippy food is fair rather than gourmet, but the welcoming vibe and iconic deep-fried Mars bars make it a reliable Broughton institution.
