A traditional Edinburgh pub transformed into Swedish beer house
3 Rose Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 2PR
Many of Edinburgh’s traditional, independent pubs have disappeared in recent years, replaced by heavily branded chains. So, when a perennial favourite remains untouched, it must be doing something right. The Abbotsford continues to offer amicable…
Above Abbotsford
3-5 Rose Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 2PR
The Abbotsford has been a bastion of the Rose Street scene since the Jenner family commissioned the present building in 1902. The restaurant 'Above' may not have quite the authenticity of the bar at street level, but there’s enough ornate dark wood and…
The Admiral
72a Waterloo Street,
Glasgow,
G2 7DA
The Admiral has long been an unsung vehicle for the local music scene. Sitting just deep enough within Glasgow's side streets to offer some kind of momentary escape from the city's immediate hustle and bustle, the basement venue area regularly plays…
Agenda
92/98 Corstorphine Road,
Edinburgh,
EH12 8AT
Glass-fronted and set back from St John's Road on the main Corstorphine drag, Agenda is a bar, restaurant and hotel. In the comfy bar area, which contains scattered leather sofas, you'll find a younger crowd drinking and listening to the latest tunes.
The Albanach
197 High Street, Royal Mile, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1PE
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…
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…

Altandhu, Achiltibuie,
Ullapool,
Highland,
IV26 2YR
The Am Fuaran Bar near Achiltibuie is a family run business situated in a renovated croft house. A multi fuel stove radiates a warm welcome and there is a daily menu specialising in locally caught seafood. One of the owners, David Last, has his own…
Amicus Apple
17 Frederick Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 2EY
For five years now, Amicus Apple has been the preferred venue of many for after-work cocktails. The bar, which also has outdoor seating, is decked out with comfortable sofas and bright lighting to help overcome its subterranean feel without detracting…
The Arch Inn
10–11 Westshore Street,
Ullapool,
IV26 2UR
Housed in one of Ullapool’s original white washed buildings, the Arch Inn is popular with locals as a watering hole with a busy schedule of live entertainment. There are two options for food. Downstairs, bar menu is available seven days a week between…
The Arches Café Bar & Restaurant
253 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G2 8DL
This venue seems to offer something for everyone – renowned clubbing for late-night revellers, theatre productions for the culture vultures and a small accomplished restaurant for the foodies. Located downstairs from the main entrance, a funky bar with…
Arta
The Old Cheesemarket, 62 Albion Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1PA
Arta does well to bracket itself as the ultimate leisure suite for an aspirational generation weaned on Ready Steady Cook and Grand Designs. A cavernous, opulent venue for eating, drinking, disco dancing and live music, its menu accordingly hedges its…
Aspen Bar and Grill
66–67 South Bridge,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1LS
Since the previous owner left to concentrate on his political career, John Watt has taken on this established business as chef-proprietor, and changes are still in the offing. Attracting and students – who enjoy discounts – and city centre workers…
Assembly
41 Lothian Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1HB
A popular student venue despite – or indeed perhaps because of – its closeness to the ubiquitous student unions. No doubt another plus is its good value food and two-for-one drinks deals. The battered leather sofas and twinkling fairy lights are…
The Auld Hoose
23–25 St Leonards Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9QN
If the key to a successful pub is being different, the Auld Hoose is guaranteed to thrive. The bare wooden floors, neutral walls and central bar all point to an atmosphere that is repeated across the city – but, on closer inspection, this place differs…
