    Good

    The only real issue is that they have a step at the front entrance, which was okay for us as I was able to bump Paul's chair up as it's a light manual one. Also the staff saw us coming and came to hold the door open. I asked if they had a ramp they could use for electric wheelchairs and was informed that they had ordered it and we're just waiting on it arriving.

    Apart from the step at the front door it's great.

    We had walked there so not 100% sure about parking, but imagine you could park somewhere on Dalry Road and head round. Also plenty of buses drop off nearby and Haymarket train station is very close by.

    Very helpful, the place has been open less than a week so they are just getting started. But they were very knowledgeable and willing to help with anything!

    Additional Information

    The food was delicious, must recommend the haggis scotch egg! This is a gin bar and if you're a fan of gin then you must visit! Their cocktail the jolly botanist is lovely and the glass it comes in is just so cute! If you are more of a beer fan they also have plenty of those! Food great, drink great, think this place is going to become one of our favourite haunts!
