The Albanach
197 High Street, Royal Mile, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH11PE
Right on the Royal Mile, the Albanach tempts tourists with a safe Scottish menu. Its bar, stocking 103 whiskies, leads to a wood and stone dining area out back. One may or may not appreciate the 'modern tartan' walls adorned with patriotic statements…
Cloisters
26 Brougham Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9JH
Occasionally, there's a short wait for chips at this Tollcross pub. It's nothing to do with bad service, though: the chef just needs freshly to peel more spuds. Great care is taken over the daily changing bar meal menu, which now includes extra dishes…
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…
The Left Bank
33–35 Gibson Street,
Glasgow,
G12 8NU
Our 2007 Newcomer of the Year, the Left Bank is still managing to draw in the crowds – the popular bar/bistro has the holy trinity of dedicated service, competitive prices and honest, solid cooking to thank for its success. The stylish décor helps as…
The Stand Comedy Club
5 York Place, Queen Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3EB
For ten years mirth-seekers have delved beneath York Place in search of something to tickle their ribs and split their sides – and the hugely successful comedy club has provided just that. To accompany the Thursday to Saturday night line-ups, a…
Ad Lib
111 Hope Street,
Glasgow,
G2 6LL
Glasgow's two Ad Libs have carved a niche as perhaps the more mature establishments that focus on US-style cuisine. The newer Merchant City outlet has a grander atmosphere, with marble walls and well-spaced booths that give it a chic, cosmopolitan…
Bar Milano
2 Mains Avenue, Eastwood Toll,
Glasgow,
G46 6QZ
Situated a stone's throw from Eastwood Toll, Bar Milano has made its home in an old bank building. A large bunch of fresh flowers welcomes diners as they walk through the door, adding a sophisticated touch to the interior. It has been cleverly renovated…
Bar 10
10 Mitchell Lane,
Glasgow,
G1 3NU
It now shares owners with nearby pub The Lab, and the popularity of Bar 10 shows no sign of abating. While the chrome-trimmed, mirror-clad interior is starting to look a little dated, its good selection of booze and freshly made pub classics means…
Budda
8 Cresswell Lane,
Glasgow,
G12 8AA
Four years after opening in the West End, Budda still offers something of an ethnic cocoon. Gold statues line the bar, Balinese lanterns hang from rich orange walls and twisted wooden chairs create a sense of far-eastern intimacy overlooking the cobbles…
The Caley Sample Room
42–58 Angle Park Terrace,
Edinburgh,
EH11 2JR
Situated just off the beaten track in Craiglockhart, The Caley Sample Room is definitely one watering station to mark on the map. The venue uses every inch of its long, thin interior confidently to bridge the twilight worlds of bar and restaurant. At…
Centraal
32 West Nicholson Street, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9DD
West Nicolson Street is probably the classic student haunt of Edinburgh with its grungy but independent-minded array of shops, sandwich bars, pubs and cheaper eateries. Centraal bar and restaurant tucks itself away at the bottom of a steep staircase…
City Café
19 Blair Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1QR
City Café has long been a buzzing starting-off point for a night out in Edinburgh. Live DJ sets at the weekend attract hordes of clubbers bound for Cabaret Voltaire across the street or the Bongo Club down the road. During the day, the American…
Cruz
The Shore,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6QN
Built almost 90 years ago in Greenock, the former steam trawler Ocean Mist moored by the Shore in Leith is a surprisingly venerable setting for the style-infused bar, nightspot and restaurant these days known as Cruz. Round leather booths sit beneath…
Ecco Vino
19 Cockburn Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1BP
The casual, laid-back atmosphere of Ecco Vino is rarely achieved elsewhere in the capital. The chatter of the patrons and the clatter of the glasses encourage you to take a seat, take a menu, and take a glass . . . or a bottle. The wine list is as…
The Granary
32–34 The Shore, Leith,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6QN
Part of the Glasgow-based G1 Group's expansion into Edinburgh, the Granary is a new addition to the Shore's diverse line-up of eating and drinking spots. This mock-traditional pub has a dark timber interior, housing a bar area, a small balcony where…
The Local
427 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3LG
The quirky mix of ceiling lamps and a spherical white TV add a bit of character to the otherwise rectilinear furnishings of The Local: tables, chesterfields, empty picture frames and a free-standing bar on which the youthful clientele can rest their…
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…
Tigerlily
125 George Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4JN
A couple of years on from its much-heralded arrival on Edinburgh's night-life scene, this smart hotel, bar and restaurant is very much the glitzy hotspot it always aspired to be. The urbane, affluent and highly presentable clientele descend on this…
All Bar One
62–72 St Vincent Street,
Glasgow,
G2 5TS
With floor-to-ceiling windows on the corner of St Vincent and West Nile streets, All Bar One is well placed to watch the world go by over a drink or a bite. Such is its bustling nature, however, it seems as if few people have time to linger at its…
Apero
34 Alva Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 4PY
Tucked away among the cobbled streets of Edinburgh's West End, Apero is a real hidden gem of a bar, which sits somewhere between exclusive cocktail bar and 'members only' supper club. The décor is adorable, even if it has the feel of having been thrown…
Bar Soba
11 Mitchell Lane,
Glasgow,
G1 3NU
It may feel at first like a standard city-centre style bar with its muted lighting, studiously minimalist décor and languorous background beats, but Bar Soba's food is more than an afterthought to complement the range of fancy bottled beers. The kitchen…
The Canon's Gait
232 Canongate,
Edinburgh,
EH8 8DQ
The Canon's Gait boasts an impressively grand entrance on the Royal Mile, which carries a plaque detailing the history of the pub and the surrounding area. Inside, clean cream walls house a relaxed bar area dotted with large circular tables and a low…
The Catwalk Rock Lounge
95 Union Street,
Glasgow,
G1 3TA
A deep winding staircase leads down from busy Union Street into The Catwalk Rock Lounge, formerly Underworld. As is to be expected from a pub affiliated with The Cathouse, rock music plays a large part here and the predominantly black-clad clientele…
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…
Drawing Room
1055 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7UD
With the neo-gothic Glasgow University tower and the formidable Kelvingrove Museum dominating the horizon outside, Drawing Room boasts one of the most glorious views for a West End bar. Window seating has been maximised so that punters can take in the…
