Staff, as always great, friendly and informative and their recommendations never fail to surprise me. Due to Gov rules, ni music which obviously effects the ambience, which is a crying shame as the chillout music normally enjoyed lends itself greatly tk the atmosphere. I only had the olives, which were great so unfair to rate the food, but when I’ve had the charcuterie, it’s fabulous. Doing a fantastic job in these ‘new circumstances’

It was the first time for us to visit the popular trendy neighborhood wine bar in Corstorphine since the lockdown. The staff took the safety of customers seriously and we felt safe and welcome here. The staff remembered our past visit and recommended the perfect wine to suit our mood. In addition to the variety of bottles of wines, they offer decent selections of wine by the glass, good beer and snacks in the bar.

Technically we couldn’t rate the food as we didn’t have any this time but it was amazing before. The staff were wonderfully friendly and knowledgable and I reckon it’s the best place to drink in the area. Even with the relatively high prices.

Was fantastic. Clearly only operating at 50% capacity given Covid, but lots of extra effort from the guys to make sure everyone was taken care of. Lovely wine choice, and a small but beautifully formed food menu made for a great couple of hours. Superb wee bar, will defo be back. Thanks guys!

Brilliant; so good to be back at Little Rascals after lockdown (we didn't partake of any food, hence no rating there). Meanwhile, we've been enjoying Little Rascal's home-delivery service of fine wines.

Excellent wines, really great, friendly knowledgeable service. In terms of ambience we arrived a bit early and it aaa very empty - not their fault, they were between sittings - but a wee bit of music might have helped. It felt VERY QUIET, even when the other diners appeared. Maybe normally that aesthetic is nice and calm but with very few tables and all the hygiene measures it made things feel a bit clinical. Great wine though and very helpful staff.

Always an enjoyable experience at Little Rascal. A wonderful selection of wines. Our first visit since covid restrictions but we were impressed by the efforts staff had gone to to provide a safe space yet retaining the cosy atmosphere. They are always attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. Our favourite little bar. Colin/Kerry

We visited just after lockdown from the COVID pandemic. Staff had taken the necessary precautions - spaces seating, staff with masks and gloves, etc. Booked table online. As per other visits everything was great. Staff friendly and helpful. No pretentiousness. Good non fussy ambience. Wide range of wine to choose from with variable pricing. Will be back

Hi, we didn't have food so can't rate it. It was a bit "empty" feeling due to distancing, so the ambiance wasn't the same as usual, but understandable due to Covid 19! I look forward to getting back to normal when it has more people again, and we don't have our lovely guys, Tony and Matt having to wear the masks. Great dogs are still allowed in. The wine by the glass was not the same as usual regards choice, but again, understandable due to the Pandemic. The 175ml wine by the glass is pricey at 8.50UKP, but we still really enjoyed it, as we are loyal "locals" and we love Rory and the team! The service is always impeccable! No complaints ever in that department. Hand cooked crisps would be lovely, like plain Tyrells and would definately sell!
