Our Take

Edinburgh's Theatrical Tiki Bar

Paradise Palms is Edinburgh's most theatrical tiki bar — kitsch Polynesian decor, palm trees, neon, and a strong rum cocktail program. Late night until 1am, vegetarian-vegan menu, and a regular live music programme.

The cocktail program is rum-driven with classical 1944-method Mai Tais and Zombies. The crowd is Edinburgh students and tiki enthusiasts 22-40. Cash and card friendly.

Pair with Bramble for a precise classical cocktail complement.

What to Order
Mai Tai
Aged rum blend, almond, lime. Built with proper 1944 method. The signature.
Zombie
Five-rum tiki classic, served in a tiki mug, on fire. The most theatrical drink.
Painkiller
Pusser's rum, pineapple, coconut, orange. Caribbean classic.
Live Music
Three nights a week. Reggae, Hawaiian, indie.
