text: Bar Kohl is definitely one of my favourite bars in Edinburgh although I am a little disappointed that they have gotten rid of their old cocktail menu The old menu was so cute and it had little hand drawn cocktails and was all hand written too it made choosing one of their delicious cocktails even more exciting Their new menu is just a plain boring old menu and even though the cocktails are still great it is taken away some of the charm nnI was here last week and ordered a cocktail called Candy something it had sugar syrup palma violet flavoured vodka and even a squirt of the raspberry sauce you get on icecream cones GBot wanted a Mint Julep and I went up to order there was only one girl serving and she was busy making a few cocktails so I waited for her to finish She was clearly a perfectionist or possibly just the slowest cocktail maker in the world She was cutting fruit shaking various coloured liquids together and even meticulously placing mint leaves in each glass She was just placing the finished garnish on each drink when another member of staff came over to serve me I was looking forward to my cocktails getting the same attention after waiting around minutes unfortunately this guy took a more wham bam approach to his work Throwing a couple of limes here a couple there a squirt of soda water and they were completennAlthough they still tasted pretty good they were not as good as the cocktails usually taste here but they were ua each so pretty reasonable I guessnnAs well as cocktails you can also get pub grub in Bar Kohl they also have special offers such as for on burgers and hot dogsnnThe general atmosphere is pretty chilled out minimalist and modern even though it is modern it somehow feels slightly outdated maybe by about years nnStill a great little actually quite large bar though I am a fan
