The Cocktail Geeks

As they change the theme of the place every 4 months it is giving you new experience on a regular basis. We have been at the fall out theme. Very nicely made you can see they put a lot of effort in the decorations and cocktails also. If you'd like to try something different I would highly recommend it.

I stumbled across this place via Pinterest while researching for my husband’s and my recent trip back to Scotland. We were lucky enough to be in town right before they changed themes so we were able to enjoy both Fire and Ice and Vault 131. The menus were completely different and it was fun to see everything redecorated. If you’re not familiar with a theme, the staff does explain some when they go through the menu. There’s something for everyone’s varied drink preferences, including non-alcoholic. It is a small space, even with some outdoor seating, so definitely make a reservation if you can.

It took me a while to get this review up (we were there in May 2024) and the theme has since changed - but the review still stands. We experienced the Super Mario theme and it was so much fun.

We stumbled upon this quirky little Cocktail Place as we were wandering past the station in the search for our Rental Car drop off spot. And boy were we happy we decided to pop in.

Amazing cocktails, fun atmosphere and staff that explain the cocktails to you and are pretty damn funny to boot. The staff really get into it - and the costumes are fantastic.

Hope to be back in Edinburgh soon and no matter the theme we will be back.

What a fabulous experience we had at the Cocktail Geeks! Not your everyday cocktails. Currently themed on Ice & Fire from Game of Thrones, but I understand this changes regularly. The cocktails are really innovative and different. Cool place. Enthusiastic, helpful and attentive staff.

Excellent cocktail bar with a new theme every 4 months. The cocktails are unusual (don't expect the usual suspects on the menu but they can make up the classics too) and there's a lot of thought gone into the cocktails and themed ambience created (as you'd expect from geeks 🤓). Excellent friendly and knowledgeable waiting staff and a generally all-round great experience. Book in advance to guarantee a table, especially if more than a couple of you. Highly recommended.

Absolutely loved it here. The staff were amazing, super friendly and provided lore to each drink. The drinks were lovely, taste and presentation. The atmosphere was amazing - felt like I’d stepped into Westeros. Will definitely come back!

Creative, enthusiastic, surprising and highly memorable.
They change the theme every 4 months, but how! Matching cocktail creations that are truly new and state-of-the-art, without being like all the others. And very tasty! Imaginative descriptions for each cocktail, matching the theme. Valuable and beautiful decoration throughout the bar including the window. Suitably dressed staff who live and breathe being geeky and help and explain and it's a pleasure to let them take you into another world.
A real song of ice and fire!
