Very nice experience! I wasn’t expecting to taste so many and diverse beers from around Edinburgh. Recommended.

We loved the beer tasting experience with Nikky! As we traveled down to The Lost Close, Nikky told the storied history of the underground prison turned tasting room. Throughout the tasting Nikky explained the different processes of how beer is made and compared it to other locations like the U.S. We tried a wide variety of beers and the entire experience felt personalized and leisurely.

Patch the tour guide was great! He personalized the tour for our small tour size and ensured we all had a lovely time. Would definitely go back, well worth it!

We enjoyed learning about the building and its history. Great experience we do it again. Local beers.

James wasted no time with a warm introduction and a beer in our hands while we descended into the lower area of the buildings indicative of a long lost busy town street. The stories of beer evolution and old Edinburgh history were a perfect mix and the hour went very quickly. They’ve put some thought and effort into this and I’m sure it will continue to evolve into a significant tourist attraction!

We came for my partner's birthday. As he doesn't like whisky, I booked for us to do the beer tasting instead. It was great. The location is truly unique and the tour guide was super knowledgeable about both beer and the history. Even better, as no one else was booked onto the tour, we had a more personalised experience. We would highly recommend for anyone who likes beer and is looking for something more unique than walking around a brewery!

Nikki was a great host. The experience was so unique with great information. The beers were great and the venue was fascinating.!

Despite living in Edinburgh, I'd never heard of The Lost Close until friends bought me a voucher for the beer tasting session. Three of us went along and had as good a time as can be had in a stone cellar in December. Padge was a fun, amiable host who put all the visitors at ease and we enjoyed 5 different samples over the course of an hour. Padge graciously then spent another hour in the small bar chatting and serving drinks as we got to know the other visitors. There are also gin tours and whisky tours available, so we'll certainly be back.

We thoroughly enjoyed our beer tasting session at the Lost Close! It was very informative and enjoyable with four different beers to try, all very different and interesting. It was also good to see the local breweries products being used as well as unique beer variations and flavours. Would highly recommend!
