WE’RE BACK OPEN FROM THIS EVENING! 🥂

Well, that wasn’t quite the week we had planned…

An external drainage issue caused flooding at the bar, bringing a fair bit of disruption and a few more mops into our lives than we’d have liked!

Thank you for your patience, understanding and support while we’ve been dealing with it. To anyone whose booking or plans were affected, we’re sorry for the inconvenience and really appreciate you bearing with us.

We can’t wait to welcome you back for cocktails this evening. See you at the bar! ❤️

Ben & The Raging Bull team

Tonight’s looking dangerous… in the best way possible.

Candles lit, music up, cocktails flowing and that perfect chaotic energy only a proper Saturday night brings. Whether you’re starting the night with us or ending up here after “just one drink” somewhere else — you already know the vibe.

Expect strong cocktails, great people and a bar that feels alive from the second you walk in.

See you at The Bull. 🥃

Thursday nights at The Raging Bull.

Not all Espresso Martinis are created equal… 👀☕️

At The Raging Bull, they’ve become a bit of an obsession.

From rich chocolate creations to toasted marshmallow twists, salted caramel specials and classic silky serves… there’s a reason people keep talking about them.

If you still haven’t tried Edinburgh’s espresso martini hotspot, this is your sign.

Still behind the bar.

After 19 years in this industry, this is still my favourite place to be.

Making the drinks, talking to guests, making sure every single one that comes across the bar is right.

That’s what The Raging Bull is built on. 🍸

A well deserved night out for the people behind The Raging Bull 🖤

This team work unbelievably hard week in, week out to create the atmosphere, service and standards that people know us for — and it was great to see that recognised on a national stage at the Scottish Entertainment & Hospitality Awards.

Bars are built on people.
The late nights, the stressful weekends, the prep, the cleaning, the creativity, the guest interactions, the energy behind the scenes… it all matters, and this group deserve huge credit for what they’ve helped build.

Seeing the team get dressed up, relax for a night and celebrate together honestly meant just as much as the award itself.

Very proud of what we’ve achieved so far — but we’re only getting started.

Next stop: the top spot 👀🏆🐂

Absolutely delighted to have been recognised as Highly Recommended in the Best Spirit & Cocktail Bar category at the Scottish Entertainment & Hospitality Awards 2026.

A huge thank you to the organisers for putting on such a brilliant night celebrating hospitality across Scotland — and of course congratulations to all the other venues recognised on the evening.

Most importantly, this recognition belongs to the team at The Raging Bull. The long nights, hard work, creativity, standards and energy that go into this place every single week are what make moments like this possible. Hospitality can be relentless at times, so it’s important to stop and appreciate achievements like this together.

Safe to say the team also thoroughly enjoyed themselves… with some members slightly more invested in seeing JLS and Kelly Llorenna than others 👀😂

We’re incredibly proud to bring another national recognition back to Edinburgh and to The Raging Bull — but we’re not done yet.

Onwards and upwards.
We’ll be back for the top prize next year 🥂🐂

If I’m having one drink tonight — it’s this.

Not all Negronis are created equal.
This one’s mine.

Built around the new Hendrick’s “Another Hendrick’s”, bringing soft orange blossom and cacao into something smoother, silkier… more refined than you expect from a Negroni.

Balanced with Campari and Dolin Sweet Vermouth, then finished with a quiet twist — orange bitters and a touch of Angostura.

Classic, but elevated.
Sharp, but effortless.

The Raging Bull Negroni.
The owner’s choice.
