Red Lizard
51 Bell Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1NX
On a corner site in the heart of the Merchant City, Red Lizard aims to combine different bar styles. From the drawing room-style drapes at the large windows and chunky leather chesterfields clustered in corners, to the tiger skin above the red-flock…
Bar Gandolfi
64 Albion Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1NY
Housed in the loft above the much-loved Café Gandolfi, this warm, tiny bar eschews the cuisine and décor of its older sibling in favour of an identity all of its own. Quirky wooden furniture, steel beams and candlelight reflecting off battered cream…
Barioja
19 Jeffrey Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1DR
As the younger, funkier sibling to Iggs restaurant next door, Barioja serves traditional tapas in relaxed, style-bar surroundings. With large picture windows overlooking Calton Hill, their promise to bring you 'Spanish sunshine, whatever the weather…
Booly Mardy's
28 Vinicombe Street,
Glasgow,
G12 8BE
Just off the top end of Byres Road, Booly Mardy's is often overlooked in favour of grander surrounding destinations such as Òran Mór and Gong. Yet it's still popular for its extensive cocktail list – including eight different takes on the drink its name…
Cawdor Tavern
The Lane, Cawdor,
Inverness,
IV12 5XP
Scotland
Cawdor village is home to the charming, Tudor-style Cawdor Tavern. A handy spot if you've worked up a thirst tramping over Culloden Moor, the snug bar features a pool table, local ales and wines by the glass. The large restaurant and lounge-bar is…
Dragonfly
52 West Port,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2LD
An effortlessly popular drinking spot for some years since its 2004 reimagining as a shiny new cocktail bar, Dragonfly – which has been voted Scotland's most stylish bar – shows no sign of letting its sheen tarnish. It still feels like one of the places…
The Garvald Inn
Main Street, Garvald,
by Haddington,
EH41 4LN
The Garvald Inn is a real community hub for the small, picturesque East Lothian village after which it is named. The bright red stone exterior blends in with the surrounding buildings, and the bar-restaurant plays host to a steady stream of regulars…
The Goat
1287 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G3 8TL
Cosy Chesterfield sofas, free wi-fi and widescreen TVs make The Goat a popular sitting room for locals and Kelvingrove visitors who enjoy a relaxed atmosphere, a good selection of drinks and hearty meals. The food, usually served on the mezzanine…
The Guildford Arms
1–5 West Register Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 2AA
Homey and welcoming from the moment you enter, the Guildford Arms is a place where you can easily imagine sinking a few real ales (there are ten on offer) or glasses of wine (they serve 18 by the glass). While the menu lists traditional pub staples, the…
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…
Lock 27
1100 Crow Road,
Glasgow,
G13 1JT
Tucked away by the Forth and Clyde Canal in Anniesland, Lock 27 can be tricky to find. This fact is perhaps borne out by a clientele of mostly local regulars – from twentysomethings to pensioners – in for a social pint or to catch a game on one of the…
The Merlin
168-172 Morningside Road, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH10 4PU
With bold patterned wallpaper, gilt frames and a blazing fireplace adorned with a dramatic stag's head, this expansive dining and drinking space is frequented by a mixed crowd of Morningside locals. Food is served from noon onwards, all day, every day…
Morningside Glory
1 Comiston Road, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH10 6AA
Morningside Glory is the original venture in Edinburgh of the Glasgow-based G1 Group. Its clientele seem to be a mix of passers-by and locals popping in for a drink and a pew to watch the latest sporting fixtures. The furniture is a mix of leather sofas…
Moskito
200 Bath Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4HG
Bath Street has seen many a pub come and go but Moskito is now something of an old hand, having been trading steadily here since 2000. This seems largely due to its ability to appeal to a mixed crowd, offering a wide variety of beers, a comprehensive…
The Portcullis
Castle Wynd,
Stirling,
FK8 1BU
Scotland
The winding, uphill approach to the family-run Portcullis is a treat, with the Ochils on the right and Stirling Castle looming to the left. A converted schoolhouse built in 1787, it’s open and uncluttered inside, just a few historical figurines dotting…
Secret Garden at the Gate
62 Trongate,
Glasgow,
G1 5EP
Take little notice of the name: this place is not about any cosy pastoralism or cream teas, as its moniker might suggest. At the rear of a contemporary, slightly minimalist Merchant City bar (the Gate), the dining room (Secret Garden) rather looks more…
The Sheep Heid Inn
43 The Causeway, Duddingston,
Edinburgh,
EH15 3QA
Tucked away in Duddingston is Edinburgh's oldest pub, which has been around since 1360. For city dwellers the Sheep Heid Inn is well worth taking the trouble to get to as it's extremely pleasant to while away a few hours among the collected bric-a-brac…
The Clutha Vaults
167-169 Stockwell Street,
Glasgow,
G1 4SP
Scotland
Hosting live music five nights a week, predominantly acoustic and folky, but with a smattering of rock'n'roll, the Clutha Vaults is a dark, low-ceilinged, traditional Clydeside boozer that's relaxing of an afternoon but gets densely packed on weekend…
WEST
Binnie Place, Glasgow Green,
Glasgow,
G40 1AW
The periphery of Glasgow Green might seem like an odd place for a Bavarian beer hall. But this brewery, bar and restaurant, housed in the stunning former Templeton carpet factory, has much to recommend it – not least the many varieties of beer on tap…
Zinc
Princes Square, 48 Buchanan Street,
Glasgow,
G1 3JX
Scotland
Though no longer a corner of Terence Conran's empire, Zinc still occupies an enviable spot on the second floor of Princes Square, its balcony tables looking down on countless rash fashion purchases. Inside, grey walls are energized with subtle pastel…
