The Rising Sun
6 New Street,
Stirling,
FK9 4NZ
Scotland
There’s a self-confidence in the Rising Sun that you’ll not find in the more ersatz traditional bars. It’s a rare adherent to old-style opening times - closing mid-afternoon except for Saturdays so that everything is made spick and span - and culinary…
Russells Bar Café
77 Byres Road,
Glasgow,
G11 5HN
Russells resembles something of a secret den, with bare brick walls, low ceilings and low lighting. But it's far from being an exclusive club and the atmosphere is never less than inviting. With a roster of weekly events including Monday acoustic…
Sloan's
62 Argyll Arcade, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 8BG
Not open as this edition of The Eating & Drinking Guide went to press, Sloan's is being renovated in anticipation of its being re-re-launched - this time by the Baby Grand Group (after the Republic Bier Halle folk failed to keep it running as the…
Tonic (Devil's Kitchen)
34a North Castle Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH2 3BN
When God (or whoever) created the hangover, they at least had the good grace to ensure that places like Tonic existed too. This quietly confident, compact bar is the perfect city centre bolthole for lunching or brunching away those boozy blues…
Whistler's Mother
116-122 Byres Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G12 8TB
Café by day, bistro by night - the dining space at Whistler's Mother offers a comfortable spot adjacent to the more student-oriented bar. It is more than a stop-off for peckish drinkers from next door: the stylish décor and a move away from the common…
Bennet’s Bar
8 Leven Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9LG
Scotland
Although it’s just as much a locals’ bar, Bennet’s catches a lot of passing trade from the King’s Theatre a couple of doors along (just in case you wondered why seven dwarves are pitching up at the bar come Christmas time). The original Victorian and…
Best Bar None
50 Upper Craigs,
Stirling,
FK8 2DS
Scotland
A brash but slightly confused style bar – an eye-catching painting of Stirling landmarks snuggles up to ads for Cuban rum – Best Bar None nevertheless has reasons to recommend it.
Bow Bar
80 West Bow, Victoria Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2HH
Scotland
One of those reassuringly no-frills pubs that offers respite from a world of style bars when you’re just not in the mood, the Bow Bar -- a popular stop after gigging at the nearby Liquid Room -- stops short of spit ‘n’ sawdust yet still gives the earthy…
The College
8 Alford Place,
Aberdeen,
AB10 1YD
Scotland
Flaming torches above the door light the way to one of Aberdeen's smartest bars for an affluent, togged-up over 25's crowd. Stone floors and lots of brickwork give the place an edge over its blond wood and brushed steel competitors. Mid-week lunchtimes…
The Dores Inn
Dores, Loch Ness,
Inverness,
IV2 6TR
Scotland
Lying eight miles south-west of Inverness, the tiny village of Dores boasts the very popular Dores Inn. Housed in a small white-washed cottage that still retains many of its original features, the bar is small and sparsely decorated but the restaurant…
Jute
152 Nethergate,
Dundee,
DD1 4DY
Scotland
Pretty much all things to all people in terms of Dundee’s social life, Jute is housed in the cultural quarter’s focus, the Dundee Contemporary Arts centre. The massive, airy and stylishly minimal bar area takes on a number of roles throughout the day…
Meadow Bar
42-44 Buccleuch Street, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9LP
With Edinburgh University around the corner, it is little surprise that the Meadow Bar has long been a favourite of students and academics. Those in the know forsake the self-consciously happening haunts in this part of town for the understated cool of…
