Introducing Understory: Our Newest Edinburgh Bar
We’re excited to introduce the newest addition to the Signature family – Understory, a brand-new underground cocktail bar hidden beneath Edinburgh’s West End.
Tucked away within the historic vaults beneath The Rutland, Understory is all about great drinks, great food and even better nights out, bringing something new to Edinburgh’s brilliant cocktail scene.
Cocktails without the fuss
At the heart of Understory is a seriously impressive cocktail programme led by renowned Edinburgh bartender Sam Baxendale, who brings more than two decades of experience, including five years in charge of Bramble.
Understory has its own drinks lab, where many ingredients are created from scratch. The opening collection, Batch 01: Halcyon Days, takes inspiration from British childhood nostalgia, penny sweets and memories of long-forgotten summers.
Alongside the cocktails, there’s a playful selection of small plates and bar snacks made for sharing, including beef tartare and caviar with crisps, BBQ corn ribs and chicken tenders with Champagne.
With historic stone vaults, bold interiors and a relaxed approach to seriously good drinks, Understory is our newest spot for late nights in the capital.
