Creative cocktails meet vinyl vibes
Lucky Liquor Co. has been a steady presence on Queen Street since 2013, and it's easy to see why locals keep coming back. The cocktail menu is genuinely creative without being pretentiousâthink house-made liqueurs, clever twists on classics, and plenty of alcohol-free options that don't feel like an afterthought. What really sets it apart is the vinyl soundtrack; you'll hear everything from forgotten 70s gems to modern indie tracks, all played on proper turntables. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly, happy to chat about the music or recommend something off-menu if you're feeling adventurous.
The upstairs bar area is intimate and welcoming, perfect for catching up with friends over a well-made drink. If you're with a bigger group, head downstairs where the pool table livesâa rare find in Edinburgh's New Town. It's a bit more relaxed and gives you space to spread out without feeling cramped. The bottle shop upstairs is also worth a browse if you're looking for a souvenir or something to take home, with a curated selection of spirits and their own house liqueurs.
It's not the flashiest spot in town, but that's kind of the point. You won't find neon signs or Instagrammable walls here, just good drinks, great music, and a genuine sense of community. It's the kind of place you'll find yourself returning to when you want something reliable and well-executed.

Lucky Liquor Co. est un bar Ă©tabli sur Queen Street depuis 2013, et on comprend vite pourquoi les locaux continuent d'y revenir. La carte des cocktails est vraiment crĂ©ative sans ĂȘtre prĂ©tentieuseâpensez aux liqueurs maison, aux twists ingĂ©nieux des classiques, et Ă de nombreuses options sans alcool qui ne semblent pas ĂȘtre une aprĂšs-pensĂ©e. Ce qui le distingue vraiment, c'est la playlist en vinyle : vous entendrez tout, des pĂ©pites oubliĂ©es des annĂ©es 70 aux morceaux indie modernes, le tout jouĂ© sur de vrais tourne-disques. Le personnel est compĂ©tent et sympathique, prĂȘt Ă discuter de la musique ou Ă vous recommander quelque chose hors carte si vous avez envie d'explorer.
Le bar principal est intime et accueillant, parfait pour se retrouver entre amis autour d'un verre bien prĂ©parĂ©. Si vous ĂȘtes en groupe, descendez au rez-de-chaussĂ©e oĂč se trouve la table de billardâun rare trĂ©sor dans le New Town d'Ădimbourg. C'est un peu plus dĂ©tendu et vous donne de l'espace pour vous Ă©tendre sans vous sentir Ă l'Ă©troit. La boutique de spiritueux Ă l'Ă©tage vaut aussi un coup d'Ćil si vous cherchez un souvenir ou quelque chose Ă ramener chez vous, avec une sĂ©lection soignĂ©e de spiritueux et leurs propres liqueurs maison.
Ce n'est pas l'endroit le plus flashy de la ville, mais c'est peut-ĂȘtre prĂ©cisĂ©ment ce qui fait son charme. Pas de nĂ©ons ou de murs instagrammables ici, juste de bons drinks, une excellente musique et un vrai sentiment de communautĂ©. C'est le genre d'endroit oĂč l'on revient quand on veut quelque chose de fiable et bien exĂ©cutĂ©.
