Hemma

75 Holyrood Road, Edinburgh, EH8 8AE

Meaning ‘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…

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)…

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…

Nobles Bar

44a Constitution Street, Leith, Edinburgh, EH6 6RS

Another Leith bar to make the rest of the city weep, Nobles is quite simply everything you could want from a local. With great drinks (Black Isle supply them with a custom-made Nobles IPA), a pub quiz every Monday, live bands all week and a stunning…

The Shore Bar & Restaurant

3 The Shore, Edinburgh, EH6 6QW

Open fires, dark wood, animal skulls and white linen all conspire by candlelight to create a delightfully atmospheric haven by the water. An olden-days maritime feel pervades, with more than a little bohemian flavour, setting the Shore Bar and…

The Holyrood 9A

9a Holyrood Road, Edinburgh, EH8 8AE

Beer and burgers are the main draw at Holyood 9a, and both are worth a trip to this corner of the Old Town. A selection of 11 beers is permanently on draught and, combined with another 10 rotational pumps, constitutes one of Edinburgh’s best selections…

Traverse Bar Café

10 Cambridge Street, Edinburgh, EH1 2ED

Happy birthday to the Traverse Theatre. In 2013 the venue celebrates its Golden Jubilee and to mark the occasion its fondly regarded basement bar/cafe has an updated menu. Fried sea bass with crushed new potatoes, or tagliatelle with mushrooms…

Bond No. 9

84 Commercial Street, Edinburgh, EH6 6LX

Decidedly far from the beaten track unless you happen to live or work locally or are moving on from a nearby Michelin-starred restaurant, the spacious Bond No.9 – housed within an old whisky bond – is hard to find fault with and easy to celebrate.

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…
