Vivien

Tucked beneath the streets of Edinburgh—and hidden below Ralston’s new restaurant, Vinette—lies Vivien, an intimate cocktail bar inspired by the rebellious and inquisitive spirit of poet Renée Vivien.

Embodying her aesthetic principles of decadence and the creative independence of Paris’ Belle Époque, the design fully embraces its basement setting. Low lighting, candlelit tables, and rich, eclectic details create a space that feels quietly unconventional, moody, and escapist.
It’s elegant without feeling formal, and sophisticated without taking itself too seriously—a place designed to settle in, whether for a quick drink or an entire evening.

Headed up by Rebekah George, the bar programme promises an exceptional lineup of classic cocktails alongside inventive signature serves, complemented by wine and small bites.
A space rich in atmosphere, character, and just a little bit of mischief.
