Bar Kohl has been a mainstay of Edinburgh's pub scene for a fair few years now (perhaps more than ten...) and for good reason; it has a lively buzzy atmosphere, a good central location (which used to be perfect for pre-Liquid Room drinks) and a great selection of drinks. \n\nIt could perhaps lay claim to be Edinburgh's first vodka bar and the owners embark on a vodka buying trip every year to ensure they stay one step ahead of the competition. The range of cocktails on offer is as diverse as the clientele inside. Once upon a time they used to serve one called 'Fab' which tasted exactly like the ice lollies of the same name, genius. \n\nAlthough not immediately apparent from the outside (the windows are opaque and the bar's exterior doesn't give too many clues as to what lies inside), the surroundings are unpretentious and I'd feel equally comfortable in here dressed up to the nines or in my slobby jeans and trainers. This is a great place to start or finish a night out.
