The Links Bar is the kind of establishment where anyone over thirty might feel out of place. Populated by gregarious guys and giggling gals, this is very much a student haunt especially popular with those looking for a raucous afternoon of televised rugby or football. The sporting theme runs throughout the bar with pictures of Scottish sports heroes found in among the wide-screen TVs. Choose from a range of nachos, pastas and burgers with a multitude of fillings. These might not win any awards, but if you are looking for some sustenance to set you up for the evening ahead or are too distracted by the game to take much notice of the finer points of dining then that is neither here nor there. Usually busy – and indeed often full – the Links Bar has found its target market and caters to it well.
- High point: Quick service
- Low point: Extremely noisy and busy
The Links Hotel, nestled by the Meadows park to the south-west of Edinburgh city centre, is situated in the leafy haven of Bruntsfield and is within walking distance of Edinburgh Castle and the vibrant shopping precinct of Princes Street.
Emerging from a massive refurbishment programme in 2010/11 after a change in management, the Links Hotel now boasts a very modern new look creating an immaculate, warm and welcoming ambience.
The hotel has 22 en-suite bedrooms all with modern comforts to ensure you have a relaxing stay. Rooms feature satellite television and tea and coffee making facilities among other amenities.
And with the new Toro Tapas Bar & Grill opening at the Links we are delighted to offer a Tapas experience for lunch and dinner.
Our lively bar which always has a great buzz extends to our beer garden which overlooks the Bruntsfield Links and provides a bar bites menu for those who are looking for something light or an alternative to Tapas.
