The King's Wark
36 The Shore,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6QU
Such is its reputation for cosy bar meals – their hefty fish-cakes, potent seafood chowder and steak sandwich are simple but superb, and certainly a cut above the competition – that you’d be forgiven for not knowing the King’s Wark has a lot more to…
The Tearoom @ The Butterfly and the Pig
153 Bath Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4SQ
The spirit of Miss Cranston is alive and well in Bath Street’s newest tearoom. With the unlikely name of Butterfly and Pig, the décor, like the crockery, is eclectic, eccentric and a little old fashioned. The only hint of modernity is an incongruous…
99 Hanover Street
99 Hanover Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 1DJ
Stride into 99 Hanover Street and you'll be greeted by the comforting open arms of its plush armchairs, heavy wooden tables and ornate floral upholstery – on weekdays, at least. Enter on a Friday or Saturday night and the atmosphere is much more…
Capitol
468 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3LN
Capitol is a bar that markets itself as the epicentre of lad and ladette culture, boasting endless sport on 11 televisions and a big screen, regular DJ sessions, quizzes and live music events five nights out of seven. (There are even private karaoke…
Cameo Bar
23 Commercial Street,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6JA
The Cameo Bar doesn’t seem to have settled on a single decorative style. There is a touch of the contemporary (see the beige suede benches); there is a little Edwardian (see the red and brown flock wallpaper) and there is a bit of traditional pub (dark…
The Social
27 Royal Exchange Square,
Glasgow,
G1 3AJ
Location is key for this trendy city centre bar/brasserie in the G1 Group's stable of stylish ventures. A huge square bar dominates the interior space, surrounded by dark wooden tables and leather pouffes. A mixture of suits and pre-clubbers rub…
Drawing Room
1055 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7UD
The Drawing room is lucky to enjoy one of the best locations in Glasgow: a stunning view of the Art Gallery and University at Kelvingrove. Its (many) other qualities, though, have less to do with chance and simply come down to thought and imagination. A…
The Granary
32–34 The Shore, Leith,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6QN
This split-level restaurant and bar is well positioned on the Shore with floor-to-ceiling glass windows and views of the Water of Leith. With its seductive brown leather sofas, dark wood floors, rugs and realistic-looking gas-powered fires, you’ll…
The Rio Café
27 Hyndland Street,
Glasgow,
G11 5QF
Part café, part bar, Rio Café has an American milk-bar vibe, with its leather booths, formica tables, 50s memorabilia adorning the walls, and the signature milkshakes which come in five flavours. Extremely family-friendly during the day (there’s even a…
The Street
2 Picardy Place,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3JT
There is an old saying, worn out almost to death, that one shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. The Street is just such a book. Looking at the large black bar surrounded by tall round tables and similarly lengthy cream chairs there appears to be far…
Avoca
4–6 Dean Street,
Edinburgh,
EH4 1LW
Avoca's shabbily charming interior offers a haven from Stockbridge's melee of stylish bars, without compromising on quality. This wonderfully laid-back watering hole is cosy but not cramped and is neatly tucked away on a side street off the area's busy…
Babbity Bowsters
16–18 Blackfriars Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1PE
Housed in a historic building designed by the Adam brothers in the 1790s and tucked away in a cobbled lane just off the High Street, Babbity Bowsters pub and hotel is a Merchant City treasure. It has grown steadily in stature since opening in 1983…
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…
Bar Milano
2 Mains Avenue, Eastwood Toll,
Glasgow,
G46 6QZ
Bar Milano occupies a picturesque grey-stone building near Eastwood Toll. A former bank and listed building, the warm, informal dining area retains some original features, while the rear wall boasts a huge dusty-pink mural of Milan Cathedral. A busy…
Mezzo @ The Loft
The Grosvenor Theatre, Ashton Lane,
Glasgow,
G12 8SJ
The barn-like space above the Grosvenor Cinema, run by the mega g1 Group, used to team standard pub grub with corny film-related puns in homage to the striking restored 1921 auditorium ceiling above. The upstairs restaurant has now been revamped with a…
Arta
The Old Cheesemarket, 62 Albion Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1PA
Arta does well to bracket itself as the ultimate leisure suite for an aspirational generation weaned on Ready Steady Cook and Grand Designs. A cavernous, opulent venue for eating, drinking, disco dancing and live music, its menu accordingly hedges its…
Coopers
499 Great Western Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G12 8HN
Beneath the ornate ceilings and chandeliers in this rather grand establishment hang four large corner screens that regularly show football. But Coopers caters for a wide spectrum of customers: young beer drinkers and the occasional tea-sipping pensioner…
Nice'n'Sleazy
421 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3LG
Nice’n’Sleazy has been a Glasgow institution – particularly amongst music lovers – for two decades now. And it’s probably more popular than ever at present, with its licence extended until 3am Thursday to Sunday, rendering Sleazies a one-stop shop not…
The Bad Ass Bar, Bistro and Grill
167 Rose Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4LS
The Bad Ass Bistro has only been open since 1999 but has the look of a pub that was doling out the steak pies back in grandpa’s day. Perhaps taking inspiration from the quaint cobbled street it’s perched on, the interior cultivates an olde worlde…
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…
Dalriada
77 Promenade, Portobello,
Edinburgh,
EH15 2EL
Situated in an imposing building at the Joppa end of the Portobello Promenade, Dalriada is a fantastic bar-cum-café that's just perfect for an afternoon coffee and cake while you watch the waves roll in, or an evening drink as the sun sets over the…
