Over 300 whiskies in a medieval Old Town close, with seasonal Scottish food and one of Edinburgh's most atmospheric settings.
Tucked down Advocate's Close, a medieval alley just off the Royal Mile, The Devil's Advocate is one of Edinburgh's most atmospheric whisky bars. The building dates to the 18th century, and the interior pairs exposed stone walls, candlelight, and a mezzanine dining area with a collection of over 300 Scottish and world whiskies. It has been named one of Edinburgh's favourite whisky bars by visitors and locals alike, and the kitchen serves seasonal Scottish food that changes monthly. Whether you are dropping in for a pre-dinner dram or settling in for the evening, the whisky list covers every Scottish region and the staff know how to guide you through it.
