Bruadar

The 2012 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £5.95 (+p&p).

This review is taken from the current (2012) edition.

Opened in late 2011, Bruadar is an attractive, minimalistic venue over two floors with bench seating downstairs and a more intimate mezzanine, all flooded with light from the large window. Theirs is a simple enough formula – beer and a burger – but with so many quality variables it is one which delivers genuinely satisfying results. Twenty burgers include the expected beefy standards, a few chicken and five vegetarian – all individually named, including 'the chilli death' with its accompanying health warning. Well-presented, impressively generous, and accompanied by a cute bucket of skinny chips, coleslaw and dill pickle, they come in at nice prices that are even nicer before 6pm when select burgers cost £6. There are also brunch choices until 5pm, sharing boards with mini burgers, and salads. With Scottish craft beer favourites from BrewDog, Tempest and Black Isle joining eight rotating cask/keg ales from other innovative global breweries, it's hard to know what to drink – although the third-pint measures certainly help.

• High point: Impressive beer selection
• Low point: You might have to share a table
