The Babbity Bowster, with its first-floor Scottische French-influenced restaurant (evenings only) and small hotel, is a landmark in the Merchant City in multiple ways. Its premises occupy a historic building designed by the Adam brothers in the 1790s on a street named after a nearby Dominican convent founded in the 13th century. Its contemporary milestones are as a down-to-earth pub with some real ales and a café-bistro feeling, where you can delve into stovies and other hearty fare. Plus, there is a beer garden to the side and no piped music to interfere with the banter. [Not recently visted]
