A Room in the West End
26 William Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 7NH
The 'Room in the…' chain has won considerable popularity in Edinburgh thanks to unpretentious surroundings, fulsome food and that rare beauty, a BYO policy. The West End branch, a snug basement beneath the frequently rowdy Teuchter’s pub on William…

The Arches Café Bar & Restaurant
253 Argyle Street,

G2 8DL
This venue seems to offer something for everyone – renowned clubbing for late-night revellers, theatre productions for the culture vultures and a small accomplished restaurant for the foodies. Located downstairs from the main entrance, a funky bar with…
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…
The Auld Hoose
23–25 St Leonards Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9QN
If the key to a successful pub is being different, the Auld Hoose is guaranteed to thrive. The bare wooden floors, neutral walls and central bar all point to an atmosphere that is repeated across the city – but, on closer inspection, this place differs…
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.
Bacchus
80 Glassford Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1UR
Weekends are busy at this Merchant City bar, catering for the post-work and pre-club crowd. The interior is stylish, with comfy low cushioned benches, bar stools and standard tables offering seating options to suit your night. Be careful to arrive…
The Bank Café Bar
443 Clarkston Road,
Glasgow,
G44 3LL
Part of the Maclay Inn’s chain, this former bank has been nicely refurbished with solid wood and leather furnishings and a chrome-topped bar. Crane your neck to see the detailed cornicing and dramatic domed rooflight. There’s a good selection of draft…
Bar 91
91 Candleriggs,
Glasgow,
G1 1NP
From business suits to groups of students, Bar 91 is as non-pretentious a venue as you get in the Merchant City. Clearly a local for many, its red velvet curtains and dimly lit décor, as well as a smattering of disco balls and a TV fireplace, make it…
Bar Soba
11 Mitchell Lane,
Glasgow,
G1 3NU
Tucked next to the Lighthouse, the popular bar serves a wide range of South East Asian fusion food that’s proved a hit with the pre-clubbing crowd. The ground floor bar area and downstairs restaurant space share a cool functional design with booths…
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…
The Basement Bar and Restaurant
10–12a Broughton Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3RH
While the bustle of city life proceeds at street level, down below, and largely hidden from view, drinkers in this traditional bar sip beers from around the world, whether it’s the local Innis & Gunn or far-travelled favourites Corona and Tiger.
Bennets of Morningside
1 Maxwell Street,
Edinburgh,
EH10 5FT
Not to be confused with the establishment of the same name located on Leven Street, this Bennets Bar is to be found on Maxwell Street in Morningside. With the same owners as The Cumberland Bar, Bennets is another very traditional pub specialising in…
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…
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…
The Big Blue
445 Great Western Road,
Glasgow,
G12 8HH
Once again part of the Paperinos group after a flirtation with other management, this West End favourite’s chief selling point is its riverside location, the bar section opening on to the Kelvin with outdoor tables that are always packed in summer…
Big Slope
36a Kelvingrove Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7SA
It would be interesting to know how many folk come into Big Slope for a drink, but end up having something to eat. That's what makes a good bar food menu: perched on the table, teasing and appetising. Here we have pub favourites with lovely twists…
Black Sparrow
241 North Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7DL
Tucked in tight off Charing Cross, the Black Sparrow is somewhat of an antidote to your average cramped city bar. Decked out in tasteful art pieces and resplendent leather booths, it immediately reveals a considerably classy atmosphere at play. This is…
Booly Mardy's
28 Vinicombe Street,
Glasgow,
G12 8BE
What appears to be simply a discreet cocktail bar for West End suits is much more. Booly Mardy’s is bigger and smarter than the plain brick façade suggests, revealing neat dark wood tables topped with flickering candles and fresh flowers, a scattering…
Boudoir Wine Bar
Merchant Square, Candleriggs,
Glasgow,
G1 1LE
With its lavender-themed colour scheme, candle-lit tables and comfy booths overhung with frilly canopies, Boudoir is never likely to be a hit destination for a lads’ night out. Ladies enjoying a glass or two after a hard day’s work or shopping are the…
