Nectar

You'll find Nectar tucked into Broughton Street in the New Town, where the bar staff aren't performing for Instagram but actually concentrating on what's in your glass. This is the kind of place where regulars have their usual and newcomers don't feel out of place asking for a recommendation. The drinks menu reads like someone's actually thought about it—no gimmicks, just solid cocktails made with proper technique and decent spirits. It's the sort of bar that's been consistently good for long enough that it doesn't need to shout about itself.
