PDT Please Don’t Tell

You'll walk past the unmarked door on Shandwick Place more than once before someone tips you off. That's rather the point. PDT trades on that old-school speakeasy mystique—no signage, no fuss, just a phone number whispered between mates. Inside, it's intimate and deliberately low-key, the kind of place where bartenders actually know what they're doing with spirits. The cocktails are considered rather than showy, and there's genuine care in the execution. It's not trying to be Edinburgh's trendiest bar; it's content being proper.
