We had such a fun (and boozy 😅) night at @theedinburghbartendersball !
So proud with the whole team for putting in such a shift over the fringe, and well chuffed about bringing home an award!!!
A big thank you to everyone who voted and who have been in supporting us since we opened ❤️
Looking for a night of blues and cocktails?
We have you covered every Monday night from 8pm, hosted by the wonderful @harryhammerhiggs . Everyone is welcome, whether you want to play some tunes or just enjoy them with a pint (or a couple of pints 😅).
Half n Hauf
Supporting three Leith businesses! This serve is one not too be missed.
THE MOTHER SUPERIOR
@the.mother.superior.bar and their new release of a collaboration bottle. Available to buy in Mother Superior for £65. It was selected by Cullen so you know it's gonna be a good one. 🥃
ELEVENSES
@elevenseswhisky an indy bottler in the heart of Leith. You'll also probably have seen their other brand Fragrant Drops. Every drop of liquid that comes from these iconic duo (trio with Broonie) is sensational ✨️
MOONWAKE
@moonwakebeer a brewery located down by the shore, well known for making tasty beer and just being good people. Their Helles lager pairs perfectly with this dram.
Whilst stocks last 🥰

Perfect Serve:
Botanist Gin, Tonic Water and Citrus Zest
Bruichladdich hold a close place in our hearts, they hosted us at their distillery last month and their commitment to sustainability is an inspiration to other Whisky and Gin Distilleries!
The Botanist uses 22 hand foraged botanicals grown on islay which give a it a summery citrus character with a slight slaty finish. Perfect for enjoying in our sunny outside seating area!
🎵Vinyl Wednesday 🎵
Launching tomorrow we will be hosting a vinyl night every Wednesday here at the false widow.
On the first Wednesday of each month the session will be hosted by @johnnomas80 !
There will be also be a special of two pizzas and a bottle of wine for just £28!! 🍕

Beltane 2026 ☀️
As the season changes and we embrace the first day of summer (even if it was Scottish style) We need to amp things up and keep evolving as a space ✨️
Some new changes
🍸 Beltane Cocktail Menu
Sustainable spirits and seasonal flavours. Drinks that won't cost the Earth.
🍴 Pizza & Flatbreads
A small offering so we can be efficient and keep quality. Local suppliers, in-house infused oils and tasty pizza 7 days a week. Special deals on Weds.
🎵 Vinyl Nights
We heard you on Record Store Day you love Vinyl. First Weds of every month we will have John Mclellan on Vinyl giving us beats for that midweek hump. If it becomes popular we'll increase it 👀
🍀35ml Measures
Did you know in Ireland it's 35ml measures? Did you know we're named in honour of Ireland's first witch who was a landlady? Makes sense to honour the heritage.
All happening in The False Widow, at the foot of the walk. Open from 5pm
