The Mother Superior is a whisky and cocktail bar at 96–98 Leith Walk in Edinburgh. Its intimate, gothic-influenced interior connects the neighbourhood’s drinking culture with live music, comedy and other small-scale events.
The food menu takes inspiration from Irish comfort cooking. Colcannon soup, Irish stew made with Guinness and a spice bag of salt and chilli chips, vegetables and chicken provide warm, substantial choices rather than token bar snacks.
Burgers and chicken fillet rolls broaden the selection, while chips can be served plain, cheesy or with curry sauce. Vegan alternatives are available on several main dishes, allowing groups with different preferences to share the same casual format.
A deep whisky collection sits alongside local beer and cocktails, keeping drinks at the centre of the experience. With food served during the day and evening, The Mother Superior works for lunch, a relaxed meal before an event or a late gathering over drinks.
