The Abbotsford
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…
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…
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…
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…
Avoca Bar & Grill
4-6 Dean Street,
Edinburgh,
EH4 1LW
Just a few steps from the hurly burly of Stockbridge, Avoca attracts more drinkers than diners during the week but normally sees that trend reversed at weekends. A traditional wooden bar is the centrepiece, with stools, settees and a couple of window…
The Balmoral Bar
Balmoral Hotel, 1 Princes Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 2EQ
There can be few more desirable addresses for a bar in Edinburgh than No.1 Princes Street. Yet while its site at the corner of North Bridge and Princes Street is exquisite, this hotel bar does milk the kudos somewhat with premium prices on food and…
The Bank Bar
Bank Hotel, 1 South Bridge,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1LL
This pub/hotel offers nine rooms named after legendary Scottish figures, including Robert Burns, Robert Louis Stevenson, Alexander Graham Bell and John Logie Baird. Inside the bar the décor seems formal, with a high, frescoed ceiling and lustrous…
Bar 50
50 Blackfriars Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1NE
Edinburgh's Smart City Hostel is in the heart of the Old Town and offers budget accommodation for visitors and students. Bar 50 is their popular restaurant and drinking den sited in an expansive basement that opens out onto the Cowgate (with some…
Barioja
15-19 Jeffrey Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1DR
The older establishment of the burgeoning Edinburgh tapas bar scene, Barioja remains a popular and central destination for diners looking for quick snacks or an evening meal. Its red-hued interior is fresh and modern, and makes a centre-piece of a…
The Basement Bar and Restaurant
10–12a Broughton Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3RH
While the bustle of city life proceeds at street level, down below, and largely hidden from view, drinkers in this traditional bar sip beers from around the world, whether it’s the local Innis & Gunn or far-travelled favourites Corona and Tiger.
