Excellent cocktail bar. The atmosphere was fantastic, very chill and clean, and the cocktails were high quality. The bartenders were friendly and helpful, and they made us cocktails to our taste - even letting us try some cocktails they were working on (their take on an amaretto sour was phenomenal). Highly recommend

Wonderful cocktails and even better bartenders who make them! This is a MUST do for anyone visiting or local in Edinburgh. Peter is fabulous, definitely ask for him! More than just gin, they can make anything you can think of!
Edinburgh's hidden cocktail bar, tucked away just across the road from Princes Street. Not easily noticed, and not easily forgotten. Heads & Tales is a unique underground venue located down the stairs and behind a non-suspecting wooden door. Located within you can see our two Edinburgh Gin stills Flora and Caledonia. We are all about cool cocktails that look great and taste even better. Try our extensive range of gin cocktails, or go for one of our popular 'traitor' cocktails. Not sure what to have? Let our bartenders know what you're into and they'll be able to knock something up just for you.
