Baby Grand
3–7 Elmbank Gardens,
Glasgow,
G2 4NQ
Just a few short steps from Charing Cross station, the Baby Grand is by day mainly filled with office workers and commuters who do lunch and coffee in the long thin room, but by night the mood changes to a more leisurely vibe as the pianist takes over.
Barça Tapas and Cava Bar
Princes Square, 48 Buchanan Street,
Glasgow,
G1 3JN
Eating at Barca Tapas and Cava bar, situated in the upmarket Princes Square mall, is a classy experience. If you can, grab a table on the terrace which overlooks the light and bright shopping centre and browse the impressive menu. The calamari with…
Barioja
15-19 Jeffrey Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1DR
The older establishment of the burgeoning Edinburgh tapas bar scene, Barioja remains a popular and central destination for diners looking for quick snacks or an evening meal. Its red-hued interior is fresh and modern, and makes a centre-piece of a…
Bier Halle
9 Gordon Street,
Glasgow,
G1 3PL
Sitting quietly off Buchanan Street, the Republic Bier Halle is easy enough to miss. Still, descend its dark stark stairwell and it soon reveals itself like some secret underground bunker, bustling with stylish professionals and students. As hinted at…
Bunker
193–199 Bath Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4HU
The atmosphere of Bunker is ever-changing – by day this bar offers light bites; in the evening it shows off its full menu; and at 9pm the house DJ takes to the decks to get patrons in the mood to hit one of the numerous clubs in the area. Fixed price…
The Corinthian Club
191 Ingram Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1DA
Never shy of the wow factor, Glasgow's G1 group have recently gone to town refitting and relaunching their flagship venue with five dizzying and dramatic floors of themes, bars and lounges. Tellers Bar and Brasserie occupies the massive central hall…
Earl of Marchmont
22 Marchmont Crescent,
Edinburgh,
EH9 1HG
A biannual facelift due in April 2011 may see the décor spruced up but otherwise it is business as usual as the Earl continues to serve as both child-friendly café and student watering hole. In its café guise it offers freshly squeezed orange juice…
Ecco Vino
19 Cockburn Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1BP
Edinburgh’s wine bar scene might be expanding, but this intimate cubby hole on Cockburn Street has a decade on all of them. Ecco Vino is firmly Italian in its menu: generous plates of antipasti share a billing with enticing fish and meat dishes, pastas…
Greenmantle
44 West Crosscauseway,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9JP
Ostensibly an ordinary Nicolson Street drinking den complete with national flags hanging in the windows, Greenmantle makes for a pleasant surprise. Starting with one of the main draws – the excellent home-made food – the pub shows that attention to…
The Kilderkin
67 Canongate,
Edinburgh,
EH8 8BT
The team behind Leith Walk’s Windsor Buffet have, at the time of this guide going to press, been in charge of Jenny Ha’s for a month. It’s not the most inspiring of launches, and little seems to have been revamped décor-wise: it could still benefit…
The Living Room
113–115 George Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4JN
Tucked behind the Living Room’s contemporary piano bar, the restaurant’s dark wood and potted palms create a welcoming, informal ambience, while the vanilla leather booths are ideal for romantic liaisons or conspiratorial office gossip. The lengthy…
Mono
12 Kings Court, King Street,
Glasgow,
G1 5RB
Upon entering Mono, tucked down a blustery Trongate street, there is an immediate feeling of warmth and relaxation. A glass cupola floods with light the cafe/bar which houses an independent music store and also acts as a gig venue and mini-art gallery.
Negociants
45–47 Lothian Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1HB
Negociants celebrates its twentieth anniversary this year as one of the most popular bars among Edinburgh’s student population. Year-round the place bustles, particularly at weekends, while the Edinburgh Festival brings a tourist clientele attracted by…
Palm Court
The Balmoral Hotel, 1 Princes Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 2EQ
At the heart of the Balmoral, the grand old railway hotel that stands foursquare at the eastern end of Princes Street, lies the Palm Court. For all that the rest of the hotel offers Michelin-starred dining (in Number One), a sleek brasserie (Hadrian’s…
The 78
10–14 Kelvinhaugh Street,
Glasgow,
G3 8NU
Vegan fare is often given a body swerve by diners but The 78, nominated by the Vegetarian Society for its top quality pub food, is worth a journey. Granted, the starters aren’t particularly exciting with bruschetta and spring rolls on offer but the…
The Ship on the Shore
24–26 The Shore,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6QN
If you like to know more than which coast your lobster was landed on, set a course for the Ship on the Shore. North Berwick lobster is served simply with chips or more grandly thermidor style, a fact that neatly sums up a restaurant that seamlessly…
Stravaigin Café Bar
28 Gibson Street,
Glasgow,
G12 8NX
September 2010 saw this long-standing Gibson Street favourite undergo a successful renovation, taking over the neighbouring hairdressers and doubling the size of its kitchens and expanding the café bar by a similar degree. Only months old yet with its…
The Street
2 Picardy Place,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3JT
Within close proximity to some of Edinburgh’s best LGBT venues, The Street acts as a lively pre-club pit stop. Disco balls reflect off the floor-to-ceiling windows at the front, which allow views of the passing nightlife, and catchy chart tunes are…
Sygn
15 Charlotte Lane,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4QZ
Sygn is Edinburgh’s textbook example of an achingly hip bar straight from a weekend style supplement with white-washed walls and pine furniture. The place bustles, with tables haphazardly jostled together and waistcoated staff attending to impeccably…
WEST Brewery
Building 4 Templeton Building, Glasgow Green,
Glasgow,
G40 1AW
German-inspired brewery WEST’s bar-restaurant scooped the family friendly trophy at the Scottish Restaurant Awards in 2010 and it’s easy to see why. A big, bright, inviting space situated just outside the City Centre in the Templeton Building, a…
