About this space

There's many stunning views in our building, but the views from the Distillery Bar atop the worlds tallest distillery just might be the best.

Our double-height whisky bar is flooded with natural light, boasting stunning views of the Firth of Forth, including the world famous bridges, and historic district of Leith.

If your eyes stray from the two-storey wall of whiskies, you're gaze will meet the sights of Edinburgh, from Edinburgh Castle, to Calton Hill, and even Arthurs Seat.

The Distillery Bar is a showstopping venue and unlike anything we've ever seen, fusing the industrial and the historical heritage of whisky, with the chic and new.

Exclusive hire includes use of the Mezzanine floor & the Harbour Room.
