The Voodoo Rooms

Opulent cabaret-style cocktail bar and venue
Tipple of choice: Share an 'Infusionist' with your companion - a Hendricks gin and Mandarine Napoleon creation topped up with basil, bitters, agave syrup and rose lemonade.

Word to the wise: The Voodoo Rooms also boasts a separate ballroom and speakeasy bar, which regularly host live music, theatre and cabaret events. Check The List magazine for upcoming events.
Housed in a carefully renovated Georgian mansion only steps away from Princes Street, The Voodoo Rooms exudes cabaret club style from its every pore. Sleazy in the best possible sense of the word, the bar has the unmistakable speakeasy vibe of a bygone era, offset by plush black furnishings, crystal chandeliers and seductively dim lighting.

Whilst opting for one of the experimental and expertly crafted cocktails is a guaranteed fast route to inebriation, if you prefer your liquor even harder and faster, the bar proudly boasts a choice of over 120 speciality rums and tequilas. Just remember to book a table in advance at the weekend as fighting for a spot at the bar can dampen the seductive appeal somewhat.
