Where are we?
Whiski Rooms sits on North Bank Street, just off The Mound, where Edinburgh’s Old Town and New Town meet. Beneath this part of the city lies the story of the vanished Nor Loch, the making of The Mound, historic Blackie House and Edinburgh’s old banking quarter. Today, Whiski Rooms continues a long tradition of gathering and hospitality with Scottish food,whisky tastings and a warm welcome in one of Edinburgh’s most atmospheric locations.
