“They can make any cocktail on request, it's really nice. They even give a nice water bottle straight away without having to ask. The atmosphere and the vibe was genuinely cosy and fun. Would drink again. Certified banger.”

“Recently visited the pub and it exceeded my expectations in every way. The food was outstanding, with a menu that offered both classic pub grub and Scottish fare. The atmosphere was cozy with just the right amount of music to create a lively vibe. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable about their wide selection of beverages. From start to finish, it was flawless. Overall, I had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend this pub to anyone looking for great food, drinks, and atmosphere.”

42-58 Angle Park Terrace, Edinburgh EH11 2JR, United Kingdom

“Would really recommend for locals and tourists! We had a super great time here, the food was excellent - especially the sweet potato fries, they where amazing! My mom had the sausage and mash and she said it was some of the best mash she ever had, soft and creamy. We had some great ales with our dinner although they had a great selection of wines, beers and whiskeys. We did make a reservation to sit in a booth which was great and comfortable and near the window. The bathrooms where clean and really nice. Would definitely recommend.”

57a Frederick St, Edinburgh EH2 1LH, United Kingdom

“Loved it! We did the potions experience, which was well worth the money - you get 3 x delicious cocktails and all the fun whilst making 2 of them (one is done on arrival in a different 'magical' way 🦄). Feels very magical for sure & a great experience for any wizarding fan. Peter was our host and was amazing, very enthusiastic and made the experience!”

84 Mitchell St, Glasgow G1 3NA, United Kingdom

“A bar that spends enough time, money, and energy to create a fun and engaging cocktail menu usually is a good time. Revolution definitely did and was a blast each time I go. They have a club downstairs as well, visit that after you get a bit toasty from the drinks. Strawberry negroni, please.”

225 Holburn St, Aberdeen AB10 6BL, United Kingdom

“The service at this place was among the worst I have ever experienced. From the quality of the food to the attitude of the staff, it was an absolute disaster. My family and I chose this venue for our Christmas day celebration, considering that the food needed to be pre-ordered months in advance for them to ensure they had enough for the everyone's orders. However, upon arrival, we were informed that they had lost our reservation. We were escorted to our table, only to be told that they had run out of sea bass due to multiple lost reservations and subsequent changes in orders. Despite one person at our table pre-ordering sea bass as their main dish, it was no longer available. We waited about 30 minutes before someone took our drink orders and another 10-15 minutes before the drinks were served. An hour later, our starters arrived, but they were freezing cold and instead of the advertised bread rolls, we received brown bread. It took another hour for our main courses to be served, which were disappointingly cold, dry, and clearly not freshly prepared. The person who originally wanted sea bass ended up ordering steak, but the steak was incredibly tough and nearly inedible. We complained about the quality of the food and were refunded only £50 out of the £250 we had already paid. Despite this, we decided to stay for dessert since we had already paid. However, after waiting an additional hour, only four out of the five desserts arrived, and all three chocolate brownies were missing the sauce. At that point, we decided we had endured enough and left. The complete incompetence and lack of organization at this establishment were astonishing. I strongly advise against wasting your money and time, at this shockingly disappointing place.”

“Bowling is a good time and the music is great as always. Drinks are amazing although there seems to be less than there used to be. Music is also a bit too loud to have any conversation.”

20 Princes St, Edinburgh EH2 2AN, United Kingdom

“Juniper Bar in Edinburgh is my go-to spot! The cocktails are not just tasty but my absolute favorites. The view is lovely, and the cozy environment adds to the charm. Don't miss trying 'The Don' and 'Chocolate Orange' – they're fantastic! 🥰”

2 St George's Rd, Glasgow G3 7UL, United Kingdom

“I'm giving this place 1-star to really emphasise the issue we experienced that caused us to leave fifteen minutes after arriving. It was my friend's birthday and he organised a night to have with our group by booking a table for 6 (costing him £30) a couple days in advance. The table was booked for 7pm and we arrived at 7pm sharp (later than we aimed for, but we assumed it wouldn't cause any problems). The place was crowded but that was partially to be expected due to it being a Friday night. Unfortunately, the abundance of people was the root of the problem that came next. After waiting some time to be seated at a table - which for some reason wasn't already prepared upon our entry - we were almost instantly greeted with an obnoxiously loud group seated next to our table. Typical drunk behaviuor. My friend requested we be moved to another table, but this wasn't possible according to the bar staff. Our next request was for the noisy group to be asked to pipe down a tad, but they denied possibility of that too. In the end, the experience just wasn't worth holding out for the rest of our friend group to arrive. And it certainly, by any means, was not worth paying £30. On our way out, one of the staff apologised for our unsatisfaction. Apology accepted I guess, though we already made our decision regarding coming back in the future. Thank goodness Katie's and AXM were nearby to save my friend's birthday night-out. Driftwood, you have good drinks. I'll give you that. But it's not enough to promise a good night in the future. You need to do better.”

31 Thistle St, Aberdeen AB10 1UY, United Kingdom

“I visited on Thursday the 9th of November from about 9pm-11pm. Service was absolutely fantastic.

I want to say thank you so much to the lady with the short hair and the man that took our drinks order they were so kind and really made my birthday evening. Thank you so much to all the staff, they are why i’d to return! x”

104 Bath St, Glasgow G2 2EN, United Kingdom

“We booked a room here after a dinner across the road. It was such a hot night so the air conditioned room was amazing. The door security is a reassuring start to the night. The staff were friendly and explained how everything worked. The karaoke system is easy to use and has a huge catalogue. The room was perfect for 6 people and the drinks service was excellent. A great way to spend time with friends and have a laugh. Not too expensive.”

4 Mounthooly St, Lerwick, Shetland ZE1 0BJ, United Kingdom

“Perfect place to stay and enjoy a wide selection of draft beers. If you're from a cruise be sure to check in with Conno on the cruise industry and the history of the islands. Also a selection of instruments there to play of you're in the mood. Have a good time here as well. Thanks for your hospitality!”

39 Main St, Rutherglen, Glasgow G73 2JF, United Kingdom

“I booked in a supporters bus ahead of the League Cup semi final and we were so well looked after. A big shout out to Stella and Becky who couldn't have done enough. I had reserved an area which they made sure we were allocated. The drinks were reasonably priced, the food was cooked fresh and the staff were all very friendly. I'd highly recommend and will be using for future trips to Hampden x”

2 W High St, Inverurie AB51 3SA, United Kingdom

“What a lovely restaurant and bar. We popped in for some lunch, the battered haddock and chips were absolutely superb. Fantastic service by the staff who all were enthusiastic and very friendly.”
