Full description
Panda & Sons is an Edinburgh cocktail bar styled as a vintage speakeasy, with dim lighting, a long list of inventive cocktails, craft beer and a robust wine list. Reviewers praise the friendly, welcoming staff who happily explain the drinks and the consistently well-made serves.
Some find the decor plain and the first impression closer to a pub, but the atmosphere tends to grow on visitors. It suits couples and evening drinkers, and fills up quickly once the doors open.

Award winning for a reason. I recommend booking in advance to guarantee a spot, it fills up quickly after opening. There's a large selection of crafty cocktails with friendly staff who happily explain what you might enjoy. The decor is warm and gives a gentleman's vibe which makes me want to light up a cigar. :)
