The Old Bell
1.2 miles 233 Causewayside, Edinburgh, EH9 1PHThe Causewayside stalwart is a popular spot with Southside drinkers who know their stuff. This is a place with character in abundance, with walls sporting original wood-carved panels and a carillon of bells hanging from the ceiling. Low-lit lamps and…
Bar Missoni
1.2 miles 1 George IV Bridge, Edinburgh, EH1 1ADA bar belonging to a fashion house will almost by definition be intimidatingly stylish: there cannot be many bars where the cocktail menu varies according to the colours and themes of the current fashion season. Nonetheless, the staff appear to be…
The Brass Monkey Leith
1.2 miles 362 Leith Walk, Edinburgh, EH6 5BRThe latest addition in the effort to turn Leith Walk into Edinburgh’s premier street for welcoming and quirky local boozers, the Brass Monkey is the sister venue of Drummond Street’s long-established original branch, a bar with a mainly studenty crowd…
Whiski Rooms
1.2 miles 4, 6 & 7 North Bank Street, Edinburgh, EH1 2LPScotland makes superb whisky. Scotland is home to superb beef. Put the two together and it must work. It does. It’s called the Whiski Rooms.

The Stand
1.2 miles
5 York Place,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3EB
There's an atmosphere of survival in the bunker-like Stand comedy club, located below ground on York Place. Surrealist paintings of comedians on the walls have a ghostly effect, but the atmosphere is energetic and friendly. Space is tight and it's…
Victoria
1.3 miles 265 Leith Walk, Edinburgh, EH6 8PDBigger and with a slightly more sophisticated vibe than Boda, its nearby sister venue, Victoria is able to fill up its extra space with clientele ranging from pushchair-wielding parents in the daytime to a fairly cosmopolitan crowd of an evening, with…
The Abbotsford
1.3 miles
3 Rose Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 2PR
The kind of classic if somewhat old-fashioned pub visitors expect to find in the heart of Edinburgh, the Abbotsford benefits from an impressive range of around 70 whiskies and half a dozen guest ales served from a vintage central circle bar, with open…
Above Abbotsford
1.3 miles 3–5 Rose Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2PRUpstairs from the Abbotsford pub is this ornate wood-panelled restaurant, which, looking out on to Rose Street, is ideally situated for hungry shoppers or, myth has it, a crèche for husbands abandoned by wives busy shopping in Jenners. The dining room…
Woodland Creatures
1.3 miles 260–262 Leith Walk, Edinbugh, City of Edinburgh, EH6 5ELBalfour’s diehards might be bamboozled when confronted by the enigmatic grey façade that has appeared on this erstwhile drinking den, but there’s no doubt that Leith Walk’s latest addition will soon attract an equally loyal – if somewhat different…
The Magnum Restaurant & Bar
1.3 miles 1 Albany Street, Edinburgh, EH1 3PYThe Magnum is a cosy pub in the New Town, complete with fairy lights adorning the windows, which makes it feel like Christmas all year round. With regulars mixing with tourists who have headed in to sample Scottish produce, there is an option to mix and…
The Bellevue
1.3 miles 49–51 London Street, Edinburgh, EH3 6LXThe Bellevue name has returned to its former site on the corner of Broughton Street and London Road after 12 years as Mezz. The decor won't win any originality awards: in contemporary pub style there's some exposed brick here, chunky wooden tables…
Boda Bar
1.3 miles 229 Leith Walk, Edinburgh, EH6 8NYOther than the elk antlers adorning one wall and a few intriguingly flavoured Scandinavian ciders in the fridge, there are few obvious signs that this bar takes its inspiration from Sweden, even though it has since spawned a veritable Viking invasion of…
Le Monde

Tempus
1.3 miles
25 George Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 2PB
Set in the former grand dining room of the George Hotel, Tempus tries to strike a casual note in historic surrounds, although the mood and the menu aim more at gastro pub than formal restaurant. The stature of elaborate plasterwork and substantial…
Stac Polly Brasserie, Wine and Gin Bar
1.4 miles
29–33 Dublin Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 6NL
The very nature of the original Stac Polly basement restaurant is as a subterranean New Town secret. The main restaurant remains (it's covered in the Scottish section), but now the more visible street level rooms have been developed as a smart if still…
