The Cocktail Joint

You'll find yourself on a quiet stretch of Lossie Wynd, walking past the usual high street suspects, then suddenly there's The Cocktail Joint—and it feels like you've stumbled onto something the rest of Elgin hasn't quite caught up with yet. Inside, it's stripped-back and unpretentious; no fussiness, no theatrics, just skilled bartenders who treat cocktails like they matter. The kind of place where your Negroni tastes like someone actually cared about the proportions, not just threw spirits at a glass. Whether you're after a classic or something with a bit more adventure, there's a seriousness to what happens behind that bar that makes the whole experience feel worth your time.
