The King's Wark
With a history dating back to 1432, this is one of Leith’s most venerable buildings. Although it has only been in its present guise for a comparatively short 22 years, its stone walls, hardwood floorboards, open fire and dark wooden furniture lend it an…
The Waverley Tea Room
18 Moss Side Road, Glasgow, G41 3TNWith facilities as wide ranging as its menu, the Waverley offers something for everyone – a kids soft play area, a pleasant and popular al fresco layout for those rare days when the weather obliges, DJs at weekends and an extensive à la carte menu…
The Blue Blazer
2 Spittal Street, Edinburgh, EH3 9DXA traditional pub that is as comfortable as an old pair of jeans and also as frayed around the edges. The tables might be scratched, the walls worn and food limited to toasties, but this is all part of the charm and it is to be hoped that nobody tries…
The Kilderkin
67 Canongate, Edinburgh, EH8 8BTFrom its location to its choice of pizza toppings, Kilderkin is slightly odd but pretty great. Initial impressions are of a slightly dodgy boozer, with its dim lighting, basic decor and unprepossessing exterior. Inside, however, you’ll find one of…
Broadcast
427 Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow, G2 3LGClosed in 2012, the Captain's Rest is much missed, as a bar and especially as a gig venue. But its effective successor Broadcast – situated much more centrally, practically eyeball-to-eyeball with nearest rival Nice 'n' Sleazy – promises to be just as…
The Halfway House
24 Fleshmarket Close, Edinburgh, EH1 1BXBoasting the title 'Edinburgh's smallest and friendliest pub', this is, quite literally, halfway up Fleshmarket Close, between the bustle of Cockburn Street and Waverley Station, and is a buzzy little enclave encapsulating all that is right about a pub.
Variety Bar
401 Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow, G2 3LGVariety Bar is a colourful affair with a unique atmosphere, where students, musos and ravers sit beside office workers and typically Glaswegian ‘old men’. There are always a few characters inside, as well as premium beers on tap and a strong selection…
The Compass Bar
44 Queen Charlotte Street, Edinburgh, EH6 7EXPrepare to be swept away by one of the best looking bars in Leith – and it's got stiff competition – because Compass is designed for dramatic effect, with two rooms opened out into one high-ceilinged corner unit, with blood-red walls, a bit of foliage…
The Espy
62–64 Bath Street, Portobello, Edinburgh, EH15 1HFThere’s a laidback, Australian vibe to the Esplanade – the ‘Espy’ – bar and bistro on Portobello’s beachfront, with its cheery service, beer, burgers, live music and comedy, and tables overlooking, okay, not the Indian Ocean, but the Firth of Forth to…
Nobles Bar
44a Constitution Street, Leith, Edinburgh, EH6 6RSAnother Leith bar to make the rest of the city weep, Nobles is quite simply everything you could want from a local. With great drinks (Black Isle supply them with a custom-made Nobles IPA), a pub quiz every Monday, live bands all week and a stunning…
NYC Bar
185 Hope Street, Glasgow, G2 2ULThe theme of the current incarnation of this style bar is literally plastered over the walls with eye-catching monochrome wallpaper featuring New York landmarks. The space is dominated by a huge curved bar and an open floor which suggests evening…
The Skylark
241–243 High Street, Edinburgh, EH15 2AWOccupying a prime double shop front on Portobello's main drag, Skylark is just what the neighbourhood has been crying out for, since evening eating options are somewhat thin on the ground. A daytime café with toys, books, food and events for kids (check…
The Tiki Bar
214 Bath Street, Glasgow, G2 4HWDescending the barely noticeable stairway into the fun-loving Hawaiian tiki bar is like stepping into another era. Kitsch 1950s memorabilia line the walls while palm trees and wicker furniture dominate the compact drinking area. Cocktails are the name…
Babbity Bowster
16–18 Blackfriars Street, Glasgow, G1 1PELocated in an old tobacco merchant’s house on the periphery of the Merchant City, Babbity Bowster is a pleasantly secluded place for a drink and some good food, particularly in the beer garden if the sun is shining on this evocative street. Babbity…
Che Que Bo!!!
1287 Argyle Street, Glasgow, G3 8TLFrom the outside there is nothing about this newcomer that shouts ‘hola che’ as you pass by, but here is a tapas bar with proud Valencian roots. Pronouncing the name isn’t required to enjoy the food, but perhaps smart choices are. The morcilla and…
The City Café
Having adopted the theme of a classic American diner, the City Cafe, with its chequered floor, cosy booths and old-fashioned jukebox, makes a definite nod to 1950s USA. With a menu packed with burgers and fries, pancakes and milkshakes, the City Cafe’s…
Clockwork Beer Co
1153-1155 Cathcart Road, Glasgow, G42 9HBWith much credence being placed on the provenance of food and drink these days it’s heartening to visit a pub where the beer is brewed on the premises. Clockwork is a destination venue for that very reason; being a five-minute walk from Hampden Park is…
Dalriada
77 Promenade, Portobello, Edinburgh, EH15 2ELDalriada currently operates as a bar and live music venue, with events mostly taking place towards the latter part of the week.
