THE VAULTS REFURBISHMENT

Thanks so much to all who took the time to answer our survey back in February about The Vaults in Leith – we really appreciate your input and your passion for our spiritual home!

We heard how much you value the ever-changing range of whiskies, the expert staff and how iconic our original Members’ Room is to you.

We agree that there are some parts that need a refresh and have incorporated your feedback into our designs. We are planning to carry out this work in July and August 2023. It is possible the work will finish sooner than this, and we will keep you updated over the summer.

While The Vaults will remain open during the period, due to the scale of the work to the Members’ Room, we look forward to welcoming you to other spaces at The Vaults over July and August.

You will still be able to enjoy our outdoor space in the Courtyard, which will be adapted to host you while the upstairs space is being developed and will be open 5pm to 9pm, Tuesday to Sunday. We will have a Bottle Shop available, we will still be serving food and we will also be delighted to host you in a pop-up temporary Members’ space on the ground floor.

One of the biggest changes you’ll see is that we’re going to move the bar to the south-west wall, in between the windows, and introduce more seating around it. Not only will you have more of a chance to sit and chat to our Society staff, moving the bar will let you see much more of the amazing range of bottlings we offer. We are delighted to give you a sneak peek here:

Our team at 28 Queen Street, Edinburgh also look forward to welcoming you while The Vaults work is underway and you can book a visit here.
