As far as cocktail bars go, Edinburgh certainly has no shortage of them and you will find an abundance lined up along George Street, some more predictable than others. As the other reviewers have mentioned, The Raconteur is in a less obvious place and best kept for those in the know. \n\nI love The Raconteur and it's my second favourite cocktail bar in Edinburgh, pipped to the post by Bramble which is just amazing and unlike any other cocktail bar I've ever been to. The Raconteur is also very original and has a great, imaginative range of cocktails to guzzle down, or to sip... however you fancy.\n\nI love the old school decor and the relaxed atmosphere that makes sipping on a cocktail even more enjoyable than usual. The staff are very friendly and have a lot of cocktail making skills ensuring that whatever cocktail you go for, it will be extremely well made.\n\nTry the lemon and rhubarb cobbler, one word; amazing.
