Review: Gin and Rum Festival, Assembly Rooms

October 11, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

While the lengthy queues and £7-a-drink tokens might give you pause, the Gin and Rum Festival delivers on its core promise: an incredible variety of spirits you won’t find on the high street. For enthusiasts, exploring this collection in the beautiful Assembly Rooms makes it a worthwhile, if expensive, treat.

Review: Landy’s, a smart fish & chips restaurant on North Bridge

September 21, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Landy’s on North Bridge serves up good fish and chips in a sit-down restaurant with a bar. It’s a great city centre choice, especially during busy times when you can grab a drink while you wait for a table. A solid meal in a prime location.

Review: The Cocktail Geeks, a cocktail bar in the city centre

September 13, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The Cocktail Geeks delivers a fantastic, themed experience. The Stranger Things decor was atmospheric, the staff attentive, and the drinks menu (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) was a creative triumph. A top spot for an Instagram-worthy night out in the city centre.

Ivy on the Square’s “Taste of Scotland” menu offers an unforgettable dining experience in the heart of the capital, and it’s available from 1st August to 2nd September 2025. Highly recommended.
