The Vintage
60 Henderson Street,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6DE
Styling itself almost innocuously as a craft beer bar and kitchen, The Vintage is surely one of the most exciting things to have happened on Edinburgh’s food and drink scene in 2013. Based in premises near the Shore (previously occupied by Café Fish)…
Broadcast
427 Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow, G2 3LGClosed in 2012, the Captain's Rest is much missed, as a bar and especially as a gig venue. But its effective successor Broadcast – situated much more centrally, practically eyeball-to-eyeball with nearest rival Nice 'n' Sleazy – promises to be just as…
Boteco do Brasil
62 Trongate, Glasgow, G1 5EPBoteco’s brightly coloured and dishevelled appearance is entirely in keeping with the sort of place it is. Samba music plays and Brazilian staff dance and laugh behind the bar. And like Brazil, famed for its melting pot of races and nations, its…
The Bon Vivant
55 Thistle Street, Edinburgh, EH2 1DYWhether it’s a three-course meal you’re after, or just a quick cocktail, the Bon Vivant, with its elegant yet relaxed atmosphere, provides a fitting venue for most occasions. Although the current cocktail list is only a glimpse of what is to come, the…
Chinaski's
239 North Street, Glasgow, G3 7DLPatrons here live it up while the bar’s inspiration Charles Bukowski looks disdainfully down from a portrait on the wall. Mind you, even the hedonistic Buk would have struggled to work his way through the extensive range of quality rums and bourbons.
The Blackbird
37-39 Leven Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9LH
The orange bicycle riding high above the door would tell anyone who has been away from Leven Street for a while that the Auld Toll is no more and The Blackbird has taken flight. This gastro-influenced bar has a bright, contemporary interior which…
Mother India's Café
3–5 Infirmary Street, Edinburgh, EH1 1LTSomething of a Glasgow stalwart, the Edinburgh branch of Mother India’s Cafe opened in 2008 and has replicated the popularity of its western sibling. Serving up Indian food in tapas-sized portions ensures the restaurant maintains a buzzing social feel…
The Espy
62–64 Bath Street, Portobello, Edinburgh, EH15 1HFThere’s a laidback, Australian vibe to the Esplanade – the ‘Espy’ – bar and bistro on Portobello’s beachfront, with its cheery service, beer, burgers, live music and comedy, and tables overlooking, okay, not the Indian Ocean, but the Firth of Forth to…
The King's Wark
36 The Shore,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6QU
With a history dating back to 1432, this is one of Leith’s most venerable buildings. Although it has only been in its present guise for a comparatively short 22 years, its stone walls, hardwood floorboards, open fire and dark wooden furniture lend it an…
Hemma
75 Holyrood Road, Edinburgh, EH8 8AEMeaning ‘home’ in Swedish, Hemma is the latest addition to Mike and Anna Christopherson’s string of Scandinavian style bars. And with its soft furnishings and quirky interiors, it does indeed have a laidback, homely atmosphere, despite the modern feel…
Hyde Out
2 Fountainbridge Square, Edinburgh, EH3 9QBHyde Out is somewhat less demure than its name suggests. Located by the canal terminus at Edinburgh Quay, it took over from the old Embark with a splash of publicity and a blizzard of blingin’ style in the autumn of 2010, providing a reinvigorating if…
Jackson's Bar
95–97 Cambridge Street, Glasgow, G3 6RUJackson’s is a welcome addition to Cowcaddens, in its struggle for decent drinking dens – unless spit and sawdust is your tipple. Nearby student accommodation contributes to a mixed clientele that also includes an older crowd from its days as the…
The Hanging Bat
133 Lothian Road,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9AB
The Hanging Bat might sit on Lothian Road, but inside is a frontier of beer and hotdogs, like a trendy, wild but sumptuous cabin, somewhere smoky and spicy in the American south. A gilt-framed blackboard charts 20 innovative, ever-changing British beers…
Babbity Bowster
16–18 Blackfriars Street, Glasgow, G1 1PELocated in an old tobacco merchant’s house on the periphery of the Merchant City, Babbity Bowster is a pleasantly secluded place for a drink and some good food, particularly in the beer garden if the sun is shining on this evocative street. Babbity…
Brutti Compadres
3 Virginia Court,
Glasgow,
G1 1TS
With the odd Italian name Brutti Compadres, which translates into ugly friends or company, you should be careful to take only beautiful chums. The name may be Italian but food is Mediterranean in inspiration and mainly Spanish tapas in style. Tucked…
Pivo Pivo
15 Waterloo Street, Glasgow, G2 6AYPivo Pivo is a cutting edge live music venue in the heart of Glasgow, home to both emerging and established home-grown talent as well as touring acts from further afield. Live music shakes the walls seven nights a week, all genres catered for and…
Mhor 84 Motel
Kingshouse,
Balquhidder,
Stirling,
FK19 8NY
Situated off the A84 between Callander and Crianlarich, the team behind the venerable Mhor stable and Glagow favourites Deli/Cafezique have transformed this 18th century roadhouse into a simple, chic motel with seven reasonably-priced rooms. That…
The Basement Bar and Restaurant
10–12a Broughton Street, Edinburgh, EH1 3RHGiven its neon signage and the staff’s long-standing penchant for Hawaiian shirts, the Basement has never been a byword for subtlety and sophistication, but instead is a slightly ironic slice of Miami teleported into a Scottish cellar. It’s clearly a…
The Cambridge Bar
20 Young Street, Edinburgh, EH2 4JBRecently taken over and in the midst of a gradual improvement process at time of writing, the Cambridge lives somewhat in the shadow of its more famed counterpart the Oxford along the road, simply by dint of not being mentioned in a best-selling crime…
Monteiths
57–61 High Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1SR
From the moment you step under the twinkling canopy of the narrow close, the small, charming details set Monteiths apart. The relaxed setting embraces its historic Royal Mile setting, where the rough hewn stone walls are subtly lit and gentle tartan…
