Our Take

Edinburgh's Fairground-Themed Cocktail Bar

Hoot the Redeemer is a hidden New Town basement cocktail bar — circus-and-fortune-teller theme, with a fairground aesthetic, neon signage, and a coin-operated mechanical fortune-teller machine on the wall. The cocktail program is theatrical with reasonable prices.

The bartenders work with hand-cut ice and squeezed-to-order citrus. The most photographed cocktail bar in Edinburgh. Reservations recommended for the weekend.

Pair with Bramble for a more classical complement.

What to Order
