Went to Cask Smugglers today and spent a really lovely afternoon in one of their heated pods. The food was lovely and the cocktails were wonderful especially the Butterscotch Snowball and the hot chocolate. The staff were very friendly and really helpful. This was booked as a birthday treat for me so we used a pre-bought voucher and just had to pay the extra. It is well worth a visit. Thank you to all the staff who served us this afternoon you were all lovely. Best wishes from the 4 women wrapped in the pink blankets 😊🎄

Cask truly deserves high praise. With its super friendly staff, beautiful views, incredible food, and dog-friendly environment, it offers a dining experience that is second to none. Don't miss the opportunity to dine in one of their charming domes; it's an experience you won't forget.

Definitely one of the best bars in Edinburgh. Amazing cocktails. 10/10 helpful and kind staff. The best views of the city. Only marked down a star because some of the blankets on the seats looked dirty, but we were the last reservation of the day.

It was pretty cold. But you can include your own music, which is a big plus. We were allowed to spend exactly two hours in the balloon. We were able to finish our last bottle of wine at the main bar.

The 2 stars are for the food but no stars for a really terrible service. We ordered 2 glasses of white wine plus 2 meals (just tacos, nothing special to organise / prepare) After 25 mins we asked where are drinks were, just got a reply saying they would find out. Another 10mins and our 2 taco dishes arrived but still no drinks ! and no explanation about our missing drinks. I told them I wouldn't pay for anything if our drinks didn't appear in the next 2mins, of course they didn't appear within 2mins. As we took our last mouthfull of the quite tasty tacos our drinks arrived. I sent mine back as my meal was now finished. No appology was offered. We didn't pay for anything.
