Herbie More’s is a stylish cocktail bar and dining venue located onnNorth Bridge in Edinburgh, on the ground floor of the Hilton Edinburgh Carlton. Its central position places it at the meeting point of Edinburgh’s Old and New Towns, just moments from the Royal Mile, Waverley Station and the city’s major historic landmarks. North Bridge is one of Edinburgh’s most iconic thoroughfares, offering sweeping views across the city and easy access to theatres, shops and cultural attractions.
Named in honour of Mr Herbert More, the charismatic conductor of the Palm Court Orchestra at the former Patrick Thomson’s department store, the venue pays tribute to his legacy of elegance, performance and hospitality. The bar channels this spirit through its vibrant atmosphere, refined interiors and theatrical approach to drinks, with design by Cunningham McLean.
Herbie More’s specialises in creative cocktails, including those made with its own Conductor’s Batch Gin, produced at Summerhall Distillery. The bar also showcases rare malt whiskies, displayed in bespoke cabinets, with the option for guests to have their own locked whisky compartment for personal bottles.
The venue offers a menu of casual bar bites and light dishes, designed to complement the drinks-led experience. While the focus is on cocktails and spirits, Herbie More’s positions itself as a destination for after-work drinks, pre-theatre gatherings and relaxed evenings in the city centre. The atmosphere blends modern luxury with nostalgic touches that nod to Edinburgh’s retail and musical heritage.
Opened in November 2025, Herbie More’s has quickly become known for its polished service, elegant setting and celebration of Scottish provenance. With its prime location, distinctive concept and expertly crafted drinks, it stands out as a sophisticated addition to Edinburgh’s vibrant bar and restaurant scene.
