Our Take
Edinburgh's Magical Cocktail Bar
The Cauldron is a Harry-Potter-style themed cocktail bar — guests wear robes, wave wands, and brew their own cocktails over a steaming cauldron with theatrical chemistry-style instructions. The bar opened in 2019 as the first 'magical experience' cocktail bar in Edinburgh.
The cocktail program is built around themed potions with classical execution underneath. Reservations required two weeks ahead. The crowd is Edinburgh tourists 25-50.
Pair with Bramble for a more grown-up cocktail evening.
