WIGHAMS Review

Made you feel safe during the pandemic with the inclusion of online ordering and plastic barriers. Despite this still managed to have a wonderful atmosphere and great service.

Good food both soups and fish. Fair prices even better than the Edinburgh average. Friendly staff. I would definitely stay there again

Good food, good service, good drink, good company. Goodnight.

Always a great placed to visit for top quality food in a "no fuss" setting.

Excellent service and great food given we were tight on time. Thanks

The wetherspoons of wine bars. Can't say anything nicer about the owner either

Great atmosphere, friendly staff and the little alcoves add a quirky touch.

Nice place to hang out. Relaxed vibe to it. Good food and plenty of wine. Quite light and airy even though in a cellar.

Great food, good atmosphere and welcoming staff. Double checked today that the bar area is dog friendly, so will definitely be back soon with the hound.

Basement bar and restaurant. Good for office nights out.

They have a number of wines by the glass.
So far, they have been ok rather than go back to....

If it's chilly outside this is the place to grab a glass of wine and a wee nibble, it's got a cosy atmosphere in the basement.

Interesting bijou bistro and wine bar. Excellent selection of wine, the sharing platter tasty, if a little small for 2 by itself. Would go again.

I have only been here once to hear some jazz a few years ago. Very lively place, can get a bit noisy but great atmosphere. Good place to eat. The bar is one side and the dining is on the other, lots of little arches to sit under.

There are two entrances on different sides of the street. I met up with a good friend I hadn't seen for a while, so it was a good meeting spot. There is outside seating. Staff were very friendly, attentive and welcoming. They have a fab cocktail selection, wines beers and spirits as well as a good menu, we loved our visit especially being able to catch with a good friend.

Lighted candles everywhere, which lends it a certain ambience, bar staff are the best, and has excellent ales!!

Whighams Wine Cellars is a hidden gem in the west end of the city centre overlooking Charlotte Square. Whighams is a very friendly and welcoming place to all the New and old visitors. You're able to enjoy your favourite drink, food And crucially enjoy your conversations with friends and others within the establishment. Great experience. Whether you're after a wine, lager , whisky , gin or indeed a reasonably priced bottle of bubbly. Friendly and curtious staff members. The Wine Cellar has an outside seating plan with stairs leading down from the street level. It is really a hidden gem. It can sometimes be packed on Friday's as everyone leaves their nearby offices around 5pm. Other day's of the week are the best. Pop round and see for yourselves. I bet it will not be your last visit. See ya.

Not impressed. Food ok but the service was awful! The staff were too involved in chatting with each other - should have been attentive to the patrons. Don't think it even deserves one s star

My old favourite. Good beer and place to sit outsite with heating!

I had booked a table for 8pm for two and we knew there was to be a live jazz band playing which was great as I was looking for this anyway. Starters ordered were chicken liver parfait with oatcakes and prawn coctail. Both were very tasty. For mains my girlfriend had a white fish on a bed of greens and potatoes which was presented to the highest degree of care. I couldn't say the same for the roast beef salad main course - it looked like a simple side salad. I ate it though and I drank more to make up for my disappointment. Music was good.

Great bar with excellent cocktails. There's a heated area outside which is great if you're a cigar lover like me

Good quality food and a nice selection of wines. Lively atmosphere. Friendly staff. Definitely worth trying.

A delightful haven in the city. Excellent choice of wines and friendly service. A great place to recharge batteries before continuing with your shopping trip!

A big pub with a restaurant we enjoyed our food and drink here. Seafood features a lot in the menu as does lots of Scottish produce.
Went for the seafood platter for two and it is indeed a feast, we had fries and bread too to keep it company. Innes & Gunn original time wash it down. Didn t stop there, had sticky toffee pudding and ice cream and Anster Cheddar and Highland Blue cheeses.

Good food both soups and fish. Fair prices even better than the Edinburgh average. Friendly staff. I would definitely stay there again

Nice bar, friendly staff and good food; a shame about the size of the helpings: they were rather miserly - it would be easy and economical to add a bowl of veg to the table for those with larger than small appetites...

Great place for a quiet drink, decent wine in a feller environment.

A real swanky bar with a great atmosphere. The live music was great.

My favourite wine bar in Edinburgh. Great selection of wines, lovely food and welcoming staff

Great atmosphere and not too busy on New year's Eve which we appreciated.

Fantastic food, staff and French Martini's! What a brilliant night we had last night, very professional and friendly waiting/ bar and kitchen staff -such a find for a Tuesday night with the added touch of listening to some very talented musicians taking part in the music night. Can't wait to return!

Amazing interiors and wonderful food at affordable prices

The bar, food and vibe is good. My only annoyance is because I bought a voucher but they limited the number that could be used on the night I wanted to go and wouldn't allow me to book. The voucher was useless to me unfortunately.

Lots of after work, separated people looking for action, plied with booze. Good drinks and food though. Go outside happy hours unless you are seeking a mate.

Great place, I didn't have the food but drinks were nice. Very Conservative on the Tonic, which in most cases is great.

Nice knowledgeable staff, loose atmosphere.

The service was very good and fast the food was very tasty but on this Saturday night it was very busy and very noisy

Had itison deal 2 courses glass of wine perfect...service great..friendly and professional..especially lovely lass from Estonia..

Always like Whighans but it's lost a bit of its bohemian flavour in recent years as the professionals and businessmen have taken over from the student set. Still great wines good food and fine setting.

Good venue, lovely staff but singers on the Sunday I was there pretty poor

Great Bar Dinner. HAS LIVE MUSIC EVENTS REGULARLY JAZZ BLUES AND MORE. Sunday night great night for Live Jazz and Jam. Also great selection of wines and meals served. Service is very good .

Lovely lunch and attentive service from Lee and the rest of the team, thanks.

Foods improved, more taste and wider selection of interesting meals.

Great wine bar with a good selection of beers. Food good too. Always busy

Great wine bar with large selection of drinks. Went a couple of times and will go again when back in Edinburgh.

Superb pint of Deuchars IPA. Can be very busy and tends to be a little expensive but you get what you pay for.

Make sure you can go on a Sunday night for the open mic jazz. It's a great chance to hear some local talent and a lot of fun. My wife and I came just for drinks and jazz and would do it again if we lived nearer.

Excellent atmospheric cellar wine bar and restaurant in the New Town. Real Ales and a fine wine list. Food is excellent.

As a party of 5, we loved it. The atmosphere & service were beyond compare. Love this place!!!

Just an incredible little find. Fantastic range of wines and the staff are only to happy to share their knowledge with recommendations in line with your preferences. I took a chance and asked for a red I wouldn't normally go for and it was absolutely delicious! A warm and welcoming establishment and will most definitely be returning when I am next in Edinburgh

Excellent bar and restaurant. Great atmosphere and cool wine cellar alcoves

I met my now girlfriend on our first date, how can I not love it?

This is a great place to catch-up with a friend, nice atmosphere, it's downstairs and is an old wine cellar. Plenty drink options and a decent selection of bar tapas. Not had dinner here yet but menu looks good.

Nice selection of wines and other beverages. The little alcoves let you have a little bit of privacy and makes it easier to chat in.

Also, the staff knew when my hubby had had enough to drink!!

I'd happily visit again.

Atmospheric basement bar with a varied selection of craft and draft beers and an extensive and well chosen wine list. Good bar food and dining menus, Spanish influenced but with a focus on Scottish produce.

Brimmed with overpaid and ill-mannered lawyers but the staff do the best they can.

Not been in years and had forgotten how much I loved this place. Definitely worth a visit.

Great place with great atmosphere. Love the little booths for privacy for your group

Very delicious and good value lunch menu. Would recommend sea trout today in particular. Thank you

Delicious food, great live music. Good beer - also three guest ales.
