The Kilderkin
67 Canongate,
Edinburgh,
EH8 8BT
With a name like this (it’s a unit of measuring ale equivalent to two firkins or half a barrel) it’s no surprise to find that Kilderkin is serious about its alcohol. Under the co-ownership of James Nisbet, also of Leith Walk’s Windsor Buffet and…
The Sheep Heid
43–45 The Causeway, Duddingston,
Edinburgh,
EH15 3QA
Stranded on the shores of Duddingston Loch, the venerable Sheep Heid Inn (which holds a solid claim to be the oldest pub in Scotland) is a well-known spot long popular with footsore travellers escaping from the city. Entering the whitewashed stone…
The Holyrood 9A
9a Holyrood Road,
Edinburgh,
EH8 8AE
If you can’t remember your last really great burger, head to Holyrood Road to have your faith in the patty renewed. Savouries are split between ‘one’ and ‘two handers’ – the former being edible with a fork while chatting, the latter needing both hands…
El Bar
6–8 Howden Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9LH
Little L-shaped El Bar is the tapas bar and restaurant of Scotland’s only dedicated Flamenco school and studio, Alba Flamenca. It’s an unusual set-up, but one that’s won plenty of fans since its inception in 2008. Diners hoping for intimacy here might…
Barioja
15-19 Jeffrey Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1DR
Barioja has been dishing out its albondigas for over a decade, so could be considered a pioneer of the still relatively youthful Edinburgh tapas scene. Sitting alongside its big sister restaurant, Iggs, it’s seen competition come and go over the years…
The Salisbury Arms
58 Dalkeith Road,
Edinburgh,
EH16 5AD
Opened in June 2011, the Salisbury Arms was the first Scottish venture of the Village Pub and Kitchen group (their takeover of the Sheep’s Heid being a close second). With 39 establishments across the UK their ethos is to keep an independent spirit in…
Greenmantle
133 Nicolson Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9JP
With a scoreboard of their top beers on the wall and poker nights on Sundays, this old-fashioned corner bar’s relatively recent update appears to have taken place with the local student population in mind. The atmosphere is somewhere between shabby-chic…
The Brass Monkey
14 Drummond Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9TU
Drummond Street’s long-established original branch of the Brass Monkey is a bar with a mainly studenty crowd and a bunk-seated cinema in the back room showing classic films at 3pm every day. It now has a sister venue on Leith Walk with its own big…
Whiski
119 High Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1SG
With its antlers, tartan and tongue-in-cheek name, this might seem at first glance like another tourist-centric set-up. Instead, Whiski delivers a buzzy atmosphere, some fine food and a drinks list to satisfy the most specific of whims. The (somewhat…
The Pear Tree House
34 West Nicolson Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9DD
The grande dame of the Southside drinking scene has been standing proud on the spot since 1749, and 2012 sees the thirtieth anniversary of its current incarnation. The Pear Tree’s justifiably famed selling point is the large walled beer garden…
City Café
19 Blair Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1QR
Pull up your pop socks and pick a song for the juke box: the City Café is your Grease-shaped American diner. Its red banquettes are just right for a short lie down after eating more than your fill of the great BBQ sharing platter, with sticky pork ribs…
Assembly
41 Lothian Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1HB
A popular student venue despite – or indeed perhaps because of – its closeness to the ubiquitous student unions. No doubt another plus is its good value food and two-for-one drinks deals. The battered leather sofas and twinkling fairy lights are…
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…
Joseph Pearce’s
23 Elm Row,
Edinburgh,
EH7 4AA
Pearce's huge popularity is testament to the warm and genuine welcome it extends to a diverse clientele. During the day a raised area to the back is a family-friendly haven, stocked with all the toys, highchairs and feeding paraphernalia that junior…
Ecco Vino
19 Cockburn Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1BP
This understated, grown-up wine bar has been calmly getting it right for over a decade. The bottles that line the walls are laid out intuitively in the wine list, and there’s a reassuringly generous hand with the advice and the tasting glasses if you’re…
Favorit
19–20 Teviot Place,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2QZ
Favorit is a late night diner for the young and hip and – most importantly – for those with the munchies. Black and white chequered tiles, retro tables and benches and a large, red neon Favorit sign set the scene. All that's missing is Pulp Fiction's…
Biblos
1 Chambers Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1HU
With a name that means ‘book’ it is hardly surprising Biblos has gone for the decadent library theme. Leather Chesterfield sofas, wingback chairs and dark wood abound, and, in case the point still hasn’t hit home, they even have small pictures of famous…
Revolution
30a Chambers Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1HU
In the heart of Edinburgh University’s busy student zone in Chamber Street you will find what years ago was the Edinburgh Dental Hospital. Today there are happier reasons for opening your mouth wide and more sociable anaesthetics. Revolution, the 60+ UK…
2 Picardy Place,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3JT
With its Coronation Street-aping sign, its dual-aspect floor to ceiling windows and the big iron ramp which stretches almost the length of the bar and back, the Street is a landmark pub in the Broughton/Picardy Place area. Its main business is a more…
The Basement Bar and Restaurant
10–12a Broughton Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3RH
Situated below street level, this bar looks like the sort of place American sitcom characters would head for after a hard day’s mirth-making, thanks to the obligatory neon sign, mustard-coloured walls and staff dressed in Hawaiian shirts. It could be…
Malone's Irish Bar
14 Forrest Road,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2QN
Malone's Irish Bar certainly can’t be accused of misrepresenting itself. Owned and run by natives of the Emerald Isle, the cavernous property oozes Irishness from its street-level entrance area, the large central room with tables for dining and large…
Treacle Bar and Kitchen
39–41 Broughton Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3JU
Treacle is the kind of place which tries hard to be loved by everyone, and does a pretty good job of succeeding. Brightly decorated (one wall is a cartoon mural) but moodily lit in the evening, their magpie food menu works surprisingly well for one so…
Bar Missoni
1 George IV Bridge,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1AD
Bar Missoni’s website promises the ‘ultimate fashionista adventure playground’. Supermodels aside, the venue is deliberately stylish without being overwhelmed by the polarising multiplex of pattern for which the brand is renowned. The vibe is based on…
