Discover the Essence of Artisanal
Spirits & Aperitifs

Born in the creative heart of Leith and sister bar to Bittersweet, Old Poison is an artisanal micro distillery, cocktail bar, bottle shop, and Italian aperitivo spot all under one roof. We’ve built our name on hand crafted spirits and authentic, neighbourhood hospitality. Pop in to sample our small batch Old Poison Spirits and Leith Aperitif Collection, grab a bottle to take home, or settle in for handcrafted cocktails paired with proper Italian plates from fresh focaccia and creamy burrata to delicate carpaccio. No standing still, just pure craft, brilliant food, and a shared passion for a proper drink with good folk.
