Tonic

Edinburgh, United Kingdom

Tonic calls itself Edinburgh's original cocktail bar, an independent tucked away on North Castle Street a few steps from George Street, crafted with passion and served with personality. Its team pairs bold signature creations and seasonal specials with properly made classics, will steer you to a new favourite or shake up an old one, and runs masterclasses; the Instagram bio promises the drinks come with a side of questionable banter. Open from five every evening, from noon on Saturdays, until one.
