Bar Prince

You're walking into something properly old-money Edinburgh here—all dark wood, gleaming mirrors and the sort of bartenders who actually know their way around a spirit. Bar Prince sits inside The Balmoral Hotel right on Princes Street, which means you've got that buzzing location energy without feeling touristy. The cocktails are genuinely well-made rather than fussy, and there's a real sense that folk who work here take their job seriously. It's the kind of place where you can order something classic and trust it'll be done right, or let the bar team suggest something interesting if you're in the mood.
