The Basement Bar and Restaurant
1.1 miles 10–12a Broughton Street, Edinburgh, EH1 3RHGiven its neon signage and the staff’s long-standing penchant for Hawaiian shirts, the Basement has never been a byword for subtlety and sophistication, but instead is a slightly ironic slice of Miami teleported into a Scottish cellar. It’s clearly a…
Malone's Irish Bar
1.1 miles 14 Forrest Road, Edinburgh, EH1 2QNIrishness radiates from every Guinness memorabilia festooned nook and cranny of Malone’s, from the quotations and portraits of sporting and literary heroes that line the walls, to the green telephone box nestled in its upstairs area. Set in the…
The Brass Monkey
0.9 miles 14 Drummond Street, Edinburgh, EH8 9TUThere are plenty of things a pub will put on to help attract the punters: quiz nights, TV sport, DJs, knitting circles. Only the Brass Monkey, tucked along Drummond Street, does films. Which gives it a bit of a cult following, particularly among…
The City Café
1.0 miles
19 Blair Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1QR

Earl of Marchmont
1.4 miles 22 Marchmont Crescent, Edinburgh, EH9 1HGMuch like its Canongate sister the White Horse, the Earl is a grand mixture of classic Edinburgh local and funked-up eclectic touches.

Ecco Vino

The Orchard
1.8 miles 1/2 Howard Place, Canonmills, Edinburgh, EH3 5JZThe Orchard is a popular stopping point for passers-by heading to and from the Botanic Gardens and tempted by a refreshment in the wood panelled bar or possibly at the outdoor tables if weather permits.

The Street
1.1 miles
2 Picardy Place,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3JT
Floor-to-ceiling windows lend the top deck of this popular nightspot a slightly aquarium feel, while those wishing to lurk with the monkfish have plenty of options in the labyrinthine space downstairs, which can be hired out for private parties and has…
Tonic
1.6 miles 34a North Castle Street, Edinburgh, EH2 3BNWith its sleek lines, darkened underground vibe and loud, clubby soundtrack in competition with the hubbub of well-oiled conversation, Tonic is very much cut from the same cloth as the style bars of George Street and its surrounding area. Where this…
