It's been nearly twenty years since Tom Cruise flipped bottles around a Manhattan bar with face-slapping smugness in Cocktail. And his character was too busy knocking up waitresses and shouting at craggy Australians to teach us anything useful about making a perfectly-mixed tipple - leaving us on the eternal hunt for the best cocktail bars in the world.

    Probably the best cocktails in town, and it's a great, ornate classy bar tucked away just behind Princes Street.

    They serve food too and its generally pretty good. If you're looking for something a little different then I'd recommend a visit.

    It's very near Waverley Train Station on West Register Street, telephone 0131 556 7060. Website:www.thevoodoorooms.com

    99 Hanover Street

    Posted by Satnav0505 12 September 2008

    A relative newcomer to the Edinburgh bar and bistro scene, 99 is a great place to chill and party. The relaxed and comfortable decor is comfy-living-room-bohemian chic which makes the food and the cocktails even more enjoyable.

    99 Hanover Street, just off George Street which runs parallel to Princes Street.

    Bramble bar

    Posted by hollifer 25 January 2007

    It is a small, cosy, beautifully thought out bar on Queen Street away from the crowds of George Street. Lovely generous cocktail menu, gorgeous friendly staff, perfect lighting, comfy seats and cocktail menus bound inside the shells of literary gems (the guts of which went to a good home). It's the attention to detail which stands out here.

    Weekends see decent house music played by friends and guests. Just don't tell anyone you don't like about it.

    The Living Room

    Posted by DouglasPaddy 27 July 2006

    Great selection of cocktails and smoothies, and not overpriced. Restaurant has a wide range of plates on offer, from 'comfort' foods such as fisherman's pie to more exotic/exciting dishes.
    Probably the best value of all the George Street establishments (for those not from Edinburgh, George Street is the most upmarket bar area in Edinburgh).

    113 - 115 George Street;
