How this place is still open is beyond me - like the Marie Celeste and very confused venue doesn?t know what it?s trying to be - such a shame

Terrible place. I can't even understand what they're open. We came in around 9pm one evening in June for a nice drink.
The place was like a crypt. Completely empty. Other places on the street were busy.
The one employee barely even looked at us; she was far too involved in the loud phone conversation she was having with someone. Finally, we went up to the bar to get drinks.
My partner just wanted a vodka soda. We were informed they have no vodka. None. Even though half the cocktails on their menu have vodka. I couldn't even ask for anything else because the employee hadn't even put down her phone conversation and before I knew it had walked away to sit in the far corner and continue talking to her friend.
I mean, that was a pretty clear signal to get out, we weren't welcome, and she did not want to work. Which was a blessing in disguise maybe because all the cocktails are cheap quality and remind me of the type you'd get on a messy hen party holiday to some 2-star resort. And a frozen Hemingway Daiquiri is just offensive to the man the bar is named after. This is not a place for classy cocktails at all.
Thinking it was an off-night, we tried again the following night only to see it closed when Google states it's open. We gave up on it.
Nice interior design though. Shame about everything else.
Not once during the rest of our stay in Leith were there ever people actually in this bar as we went past at night. I think that's a sign to avoid it for anything but brunch or lunch.

The espresso martinis come with a dash of amaretto, the vibe is stellar and the staff are super friendly - Rachel in particular was great and really added to the night

Great cocktail bar. The service is very welcoming and the atmosphere is very chill, very demure.

Visited on a sunny weekend and sat in the outdoor beer garden that overlooks the canal. We visited with our dog and had plenty of space outside and the drinks we ordered were fantastic. Make sure you order the frozen strawberry daiquiri! Best one I?ve had a long time!

What a great. Place. Had such a lovely evening with few drinks and nice cocktails. Great services. The girls there are so nice. Love them to bits. Unfortunately, I never had the chance to try the food, hence low score on food. Otherwise, everything else was just on the spot.

The lovely design of the restaurant bar invited me and my family to come. First of all great staff and wonderful ambience. We started with bread & butter and for me both were too salty. The cocktails were good but very sugary for us. All the food that we ordered was flavored but unbalanced to taste.
