CLASS' Scotland reviewer Blythe Robertson pops by The Commons Club


The expansion of the Virgin Hotels Group into Scotland has brought with it an Edinburgh Old Town site that includes a cocktail bar named The Commons Club.

The venue has attracted an impressive bar team that has put together a cohesive, if quixotically-priced, classics-driven drinks list.

From the comfort of a smartly appointed bar, the place radiates charm and suavity. Service cuts through the formality making The Commons Club a fine and adaptable place for daytime, evening or pre-dinner drinks.

It already feels like it has carved its niche in the competitive world of the Edinburgh food and drink scene.
