Our Take
Stockbridge's Prohibition-Era Speakeasy
The Last Word Saloon is a hidden Stockbridge basement cocktail bar — accessed through an unmarked side door. World's 50 Best Bars regular since 2017. The 28-seat room is dimly lit with leather banquettes, an antique cocktail library, and a long mahogany bar.
The cocktail program is built on Prohibition-era classics with strong execution. The signature is The Last Word — a forgotten 1916 Detroit cocktail (gin, green Chartreuse, maraschino, lime). The crowd is Edinburgh cocktail enthusiasts 30-50.
Pair with Bramble for a complete Edinburgh cocktail evening.
