Cute family-run Edinburgh cocktail bar makes it to the UK's top 50 list

A family-run Italian cocktail bar in Edinburgh's city centre was included in the prestigious Top 50 Cocktail Bars list thanks to its "well crafted" cocktails and a "killer playlist".

Hey Palu, located at 49 Bread Street, brings traditional Italian aperitivo style to the heart of the Scottish capital, complementing it with a welcoming atmosphere and a carefully considered playlist.

Rachel, co-owner of the bar, said: "It's an incredible feeling to be part of the UK top 50 cocktail bars, especially being such a small team and still a relatively new bar on the scene.

"When we opened Hey Palu, we wanted to create a neighbourhood bar for the community around us, and it's great to be recognised for our hard work."

With an impressive list of cocktails - as well as wines and liquors - Hey Palu is always ready to surprise its visitors with both timeless highest-quality classics and artisan drinks inspired by Italy itself.

Hey Palu was listed number 40 in the UK's Top 50 cocktail bars with the award's website outlining the following drinks from the menu:

  • Modern cocktails have included the likes of the Pink Pigeon Club made using Roku Gin, preserved raspberry, strawberry, cranberry, lemon and aquafaba;
  • the Smoked Banana Old Fashioned, made with Myers Rum, Jamaican rum, banana, tonka bean and Fernet Branca Smoke;
  • and the Tiramisu! made using Buffalo Trace Bourbon, marsala, Averna Amaro Siciliano, espresso and mascarpone.
