Nice bar for a huge selection of whisky. Some draft beer and lager also available, although I didn't try any. I had nice Danish 7 year old, slightly peaty, dram. A must for whisky lovers. They serve food, but the kitchen had closed by the time I was there.

A must visit (and the Vaults) whenever one finds themselves in Auld Reekie
