The Abbotsford
3 Rose Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 2PR
At first sight, this classic city centre bar looks like an old-fashioned spit and sawdust affair. But there's a real diversity of clientele here, from chattering ladies who lunch to the pinstriped suit brigade and hungover tourists seeking sustenance.
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…
All Bar One
Exchange Plaza, 50 Lothian Road,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9BY
Once upon a time, All Bar One was the fresh-faced, exclusive bar-about-town frequented by apple flirtini-sipping suits. While never quite diverting the gastro-pub experts, it did embed the wine bar-diner concept in the nation's consciousness. But the…
All Bar One
29–31 George Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 2PA
Once upon a time, All Bar One was the fresh-faced, exclusive bar-about-town frequented by apple flirtini-sipping suits. While never quite diverting the gastro-pub experts, it did embed the wine bar-diner concept in the nation's consciousness. But the…
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…
Assembly
41 Lothian Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1HB
You can view the Potterrow and Teviot student unions from the windows of this relaxed cocktail bar, so it's no great surprise that it attracts its fair share of students. With tight budgets in mind, the food is served in large, wallet-pleasing portions…
Avoca
4–6 Dean Street,
Edinburgh,
EH4 1LW
This is a bar that knows exactly what it's doing when it comes to food. It's not attempting to be a bistro: it's emphatically a bar and loves being a bar. Taste is everything in this little relaxing snug; music and chat don't intrude on your dining and…
The Bad Ass Bar, Bistro and Grill
167 Rose Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4LS
For a nine-year-old, the Bad Ass Bar, Bistro and Grill does an impressive job of feigning maturity. An old-fashioned pub exterior gives way to a smokily-lit, cosy bar where vintage mirrors and old photographs cover the dark walls, giving the place a…
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…
Baroque
39-41 Broughton Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3JU
You'd have called it a style bar back in the heady days of the late-90s, but Broughton Street's Baroque is no longer the epicentre of cool. Posing pre-club queens now move on to hipper joints and Baroque's former core clientele has either mutated into…
Basement Bar
10a–12a Broughton Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3RH
Situated below busy Broughton Street, The Basement is a lively little bistro where staff dressed in Hawaiian shirts often greet you at the door. Inside, tall gothic candles and 80s retro décor set the tone of fun, casual dining. The menu, which changes…
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…
Biblos
1 Chambers Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1HR
Located close to the university, Biblos tends to be dominated by members of Edinburgh's student population. The venue has recently undergone a revamp: curtains, comfy armchairs and bright lampshades now lend the space a contemporary, clubby feel. The…
Black Bo's
57–61 Blackfriars Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1NB
Tucked away in a beautifully central location, Black Bo's is all wooden floors and candle-light, making this haven a beautiful setting for long, relaxed evenings in good company. With a formidable veggie-friendly wine list and friendly atmosphere, it…
Boudoir
5-6 Infirmary Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1JT
Scotland
Recently opened on the site of Infirmary Street’s old Oxygen bar, Boudoir is fast becoming one of Edinburgh’s coolest drinking spots. Actually an innovative three-in-one affair, the place is owned by local French-themed restaurant group Maison Bleue…
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…
Burlington Bertie’s
11-13 Tarvit Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9LB
Scotland
Ask anyone behind the bar to name the best feature of Burlington Bertie’s, and they’ll all come back with the line that they’ve got the best jukebox in town. That might be open to debate, but there’s no doubting that its selection of classic and…
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 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…
The Cambridge Bar
20 Young Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4JB
For simple, filling pub grub, you can't do much better than a well-made burger and chips. That's virtually all they serve at the Cambridge, besides home-made bean burgers for veggies and chicken breasts for non-beef fans. It's the attention to detail…
Cameo Bar
23 Commercial Street,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6JA
The Cameo's location by the waterfront in Leith means it regularly welcomes a lively crowd of locals and office workers. The bar menu, served all day, features a selection of pub favourites: nachos, sandwiches, baked potatoes, burgers and pasta, all…
Candy Bar
113–115 George Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4JN
Aimed squarely at the pretty young things, the Candy Bar really is the cheeky twinkle in the eye of Edinburgh's George Street. There's an air of backstreet chic about the place, with the emphasis on drinking and having a good time rather than eating.
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…
Cargo
Edinburgh Quay, 129 Fountainbridge,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9QA
Cargo's chic and airy space has been designed to draw in a hip, young crowd. Large glass panes at the back show off the beer garden by the canal and illuminate a large seating area full of polished black furniture and leather booths. The outdoor area is…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Dirty Dick's
159 Rose Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4LS
The name Dirty Dick's conjures up images of buxom wenches serving flagons of foaming ale. In reality, this tourist-friendly watering hole is closer in ambience to a Scottish theme bar than a Carry On film. From wall to ceiling, the interior is decked…
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…
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…
Eighty Queen Street
80 Queen Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4NF
Soft candle-light, live jazz and good cocktails are surely on the recipe for a good start to any night out. Eighty Queen Street displays these elements in abundance to ease you into your meal. From an extensive menu, which is served from 8am Monday to…
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…
Filmhouse Café Bar
88 Lothian Road,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9BZ
It is rare thing these days to find a place to eat that truly serves a purpose and functions without pretension, unnecessary frills or ideas above its station. The Filmhouse Bar has fulfilled such a role in Edinburgh for over 20 years, providing a…
