Café Drummonds
1 Belmont Street,
Aberdeen,
AB10 1JR
Scotland
Café Drummonds flips a grubby finger at urban chic. With not a piece of statement furniture or carefully coiffed head in sight, it may score zero for style and cleanliness but it bags top points for attitude. Grungy music-lovers pile in to hear music in…
Café Royal Circle Bar
19 West Register Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 2AA
Café Royal doesn't take bookings, and it's nearly always full. Do persist, though, as you won't be disappointed. Ornate ceilings with gold cornicing and original tiled wall decorations frame the grand space, which has as its focal point the Circle Bar.
The Horse Shoe Bar
17 Drury Street,
Glasgow,
G2 5AE
Scotland
Pubs come and go, but the Horse Shoe endures - the literally horseshoe-shaped, longest continuous bar in Britain ensuring its fame, regardless of the gold and platinum discs donated by Travis, drummer Neil having once worked here. Halfway down a cobbled…
Ivory Bar & Restaurant
2–4 Camphill Avenue,
Glasgow,
G41 3AY
The creamy walls of this restaurant, bar and hotel distinguish it from the tenements surrounding Queen's Park. The conservatory dining room has unobstructed views of the park, while the space at the rear offers glimpses into the kitchen. Timber floors…
Ivy
157–159 North Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7DA
A hundred yards from the magnificent Mitchell Library, fringed with outdoor tables (albeit with views of the M8) and a bright green sign, Ivy has been a popular local hangout since opening in 2006. Offering DJs at the weekend, a great selection of beers…
Lismore Lounge
206 Dumbarton Road,
Glasgow,
G11 6AA
Scotland
Winner of the 2005 Scottish Licensed Trade Award for best whisky bar, the Lismore Lounge existed long before the resurgence of Partick Cross' bar culture, and will doubtless continue to do so long after it declines. Although it still attracts a strong…
Nicky Tams
9/12 Ness Bank,
Inverness,
IV2 4SG
Scotland
You can find the wonderfully comfortable Nicky Tams tucked around the back of the riverside Glen Mhor Hotel. In summer, there's a small patio where you can catch some rays and sip on real ales; come winter, the log fire is always stoked inside the cosy…
Observatory
138-140 Elderslie Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 7AW
Observatory offers informal neighbourhood dining in a site pitched between the West End and city centre. Warm sandstone and scrubbed-wood finishes with plain, unlaid tables give an unpretentious and appropriately flexible feel for its diverse clientele…
The Regent
2 Montrose Terrace,
Edinburgh,
EH7 5DL
Scotland
The Regent’s proprietor Alan Joy, who also runs Edinburgh’s popular gay night Joy, pitches his pub the same way he does his club; it’s ‘straight-friendly’. It certainly is friendly, with a relaxed, chatty atmosphere that other Edinburgh gay pubs tend…
Republic Bier Halle
372–374 Great Western Road,
Glasgow,
G4 9HT
Whether it's Canadian Moosehead, a snappy Swedish Crocodile or a luxurious Arran Blonde, Republic is bound to satisfy anyone's thirst for beer, with up to 70 brews on offer from around the world. Little has changed at its original location on Gordon…
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…
Trades House Bar
40 Nethergate,
Dundee,
DD1 4ET
Scotland
A big, friendly bear of a place, the Trades House Bar is all tiled floors, stained glass windows and ornate cornicing, the large space being paradoxically cosy thanks to a number of separate snugs huddled in its corners. Populated by Dundonians of every…
Traverse Bar Café
Traverse Theatre, 10 Cambridge Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2ED
Taking a room like this – a windowless subterranean theatre foyer-cum-passageway – and making something coherent and appealing is an achievement in itself, but the Trav is also a watering hole, nexus for cultural debate and, more importantly here, a…
