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.
Ad Lib
111 Hope Street, Glasgow, G2 6LL
Glasgow's two Ad Libs have carved a niche as perhaps the more mature establishments that focus on US-style cuisine. The newer Merchant City outlet has a grander atmosphere, with marble walls and well-spaced booths that give it a chic, cosmopolitan…
Ad Lib
33 Ingram Street, Glasgow, G1 1HA
Glasgow's two Ad Libs have carved a niche as perhaps the more mature establishments that focus on US-style cuisine. The newer Merchant City outlet has a grander atmosphere, with marble walls and well-spaced booths that give it a chic, cosmopolitan…
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…
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…
Amicus Apple
17 Frederick Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2EY
Amicus Apple has been under new ownership since 2007, and its basement area has been transformed into a chic, welcoming, boudoir-like space. Patterned black walls, twinkling light fittings and comfortable leather chairs accommodate shoppers and office…
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…
The Arches Café Bar & Restaurant
253 Argyle Street, Glasgow, G2 8DL
The Arches has long held a reputation for being one of the coolest venues in the city. Its club nights are legendary, its music programme adventurous, its theatre daring and eclectic. Various events and festivals throughout the year, such as Arches…
Arta
The Old Cheesemarket, 62 Albion Street, Glasgow, G1 1PA
When the smart restaurant within the G1 Group's Arta complex of bars and opened its doors in 2000, the menu was largely Spanish and in keeping with the design of the building (although it's a former cheese market, the interior has been modelled on a…
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…
Babbity Bowster
16–18 Blackfriars Street, Glasgow, G1 1PE
The Babbity Bowster, with its first-floor Scottische French-influenced restaurant (evenings only) and small hotel, is a landmark in the Merchant City in multiple ways. Its premises occupy a historic building designed by the Adam brothers in the 1790s on…
Baby Grand
3–7 Elmbank Gardens, Glasgow, G2 4NQ
This time-honoured Glasgow outpost is tucked away from the main streets but easily found opposite the Charing Cross train station entrance. For a classic bar-brasserie, the place is pretty much perfect – candles flicker on wooden tables, mirrors adorn…
Bacchus
80 Glassford Street, Glasgow, G1 1UR
Bacchus, named after the Roman god of wine, is situated in a bit of a bar void between Glasgow's centre and the Merchant City. That's maybe why it draws a mixed crowd, with post-work drinkers midweek giving way to pre-clubbers at weekends, when DJs are…
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…
The Bank
443 Clarkston Road, Glasgow, G44 3LL
Housed in an impressively spacious former bank building, this pub and restaurant shows that catering for a wide range of tastes – and keeping standards reasonably high – is possible. Vast brown sofas, long wooden tables and a stained glass dome in the…
Bar Bola
144 Park Road, Glasgow, G4 9HB
Gibson Street and the northern, leafy fringes of Kelvingrove Park are on the doorstep of Bar Bola, a quirky venue that straddles the divide between student hangout and local style bar. Despite its idiosyncrasy, this ever-popular destination is often…
Bar Diesel
Wishart's Warehouse, 19 Shore Place, Edinburgh, EH6 6SW
Part of the growing bar scene in 'New Leith', this converted warehouse (formerly Stack) opened under new management in late 2007. Tucked up a side street off the Shore, the bar has kept the original stone walls and wooden beams, with the addition of a…
Bar Gandolfi
64 Albion Street, Glasgow, G1 1NY
Housed in the loft above the much-loved Café Gandolfi, this warm, tiny bar eschews the cuisine and décor of its older sibling in favour of an identity all of its own. Quirky wooden furniture, steel beams and candlelight reflecting off battered cream…
Bar MC
129 Bath Street, Glasgow, G2 2SZ
This basement venue in the swish ABode Hotel was formerly known as Michael Caines Café Bar. It was rebranded in October 2007, but not too much has changed: Bar MC incorporates both a family-friendly restaurant (where under fives eat free) and a…
Bar 91
91 Candleriggs, Glasgow, G1 1NP
The refurbished Bar 91 has retained its aloof smartness and lack of pretention, with new chunky tables, dark red and oyster walls and a refitted bar stocking beers by West Brewing Company. Light and airy, it has a steady office lunchtime trade that…
Bar Soba
11 Mitchell Lane, Glasgow, G1 3NU
It may feel at first like a standard city-centre style bar with its muted lighting, studiously minimalist décor and languorous background beats, but Bar Soba's food is more than an afterthought to complement the range of fancy bottled beers. The kitchen…
Bar 10
10 Mitchell Lane, Glasgow, G1 3NU
It now shares owners with nearby pub The Lab, and the popularity of Bar 10 shows no sign of abating. While the chrome-trimmed, mirror-clad interior is starting to look a little dated, its good selection of booze and freshly made pub classics means…
Barça Tapas and Cava Bar
Princes Square, 48 Buchanan Street, Glasgow, G1 3JN
The flexible tapas format is ideal for Barça's location on the top floor of Princes Square, where a quick, restorative bite and a glass of decent wine can fit into the most demanding shopping or social schedule. Barça delivers the goods with excellent…
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…
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…
Bennets Bar
8 Leven Street, Edinburgh, EH3 9LG
This traditional pub next to the King's Theatre still has a wooden snug at the edge of the bar, where Victorian women used to drink out of sight of the menfolk. The listed building has kept other original features, such as stained glass windows and an…
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…
The Big Blue
445 Great Western Road, Glasgow, G12 8HH
The River Kelvin is admittedly no Mediterranean. But as far as pleasant waterside spots for dining in Glasgow go, the Big Blue has one of the best of the bunch. It's a boon, especially on those warm, sunny days when tables and chairs are set out the…
Big Slope
36a Kelvingrove Street, Glasgow, G3 7SA
Occupying a basement near Kelvingrove Park, this Alpine-themed bar is the closest Glasgow gets to après-ski. Black leather booths nestle under wooden panels depicting snow scenes, while antlers decorate the walls. Students and office workers snap up…
The Black Bull
Market Place, Lauder, TD2 6SR
Well located on one of the main routes south from Edinburgh yet also in the heart of the Scottish Borders, this very popular 18th century coaching inn is situated in perfect walking and cycling country. So what better place to restore lost calories than…
Bloc+
117 Bath Street, Glasgow, G2 2SZ
Two-for-one offers on pizzas and burgers, 20% reductions with matriculation cards, and £8.50 bottles of the wine of the month – not always available – make Bloc+ a student magnet. Beanies, indie-kid hair and bright boho threads are de rigueur, and…
The Boswell
27 Mansionhouse Road, Glasgow, G41 3DN
Called a country club, but in fact nestled among some of the grander sandstone tenements and private mansions of Glasgow's Southside, the Boswell Hotel offers a traditional local pub with oak panelling and cosy snugs, and also a modern bistro. The menu…
Brel
39–43 Ashton Lane, Glasgow, G12 8SJ
The interiors of this converted stable and coach house maintain their rustic charms, particularly with the original white glazed brick walls and heavy wooden doors. Many who come here for a bite enjoy eating in the small space with butcher paper-covered…
Brutti Ma Buoni
Brunswick Hotel, 106 Brunswick Street, Glasgow, G1 1TF
Brutti Ma Buoni (which means 'ugly but good' in Italian) is the stylish café/bar belonging to the Brunswick Hotel. Its deep, narrow space is basic, if modern in design, with small stainless steel tables as well as a queue of black leather stools that…
Budda
8 Cresswell Lane, Glasgow, G12 8AA
Four years after opening in the West End, Budda still offers something of an ethnic cocoon. Gold statues line the bar, Balinese lanterns hang from rich orange walls and twisted wooden chairs create a sense of far-eastern intimacy overlooking the cobbles…
Bunker
193–199 Bath Street, Glasgow, G2 4HU
From lunchtime until late into the night, Bunker provides a stylish refuge for students and young office workers. Pale wood floors and light walls make this Bath Street basement even more spacious than it seems, while curved leather seating and lines of…
The Butterfly and the Pig
153 Bath Street, Glasgow, G2 4SQ
Going for a meal at The Butterfly and the Pig is something of an Alice in Wonderland experience. Beyond its unprepossessing basement entrance, the bar is decorated like the Mad Hatter's front room, with chintz sofas, doilies and Welsh dressers bursting…
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…
Capitol
468 Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow, G2 3LN
Capitol is a bar that markets itself as the epicentre of lad and ladette culture, boasting endless sport on 11 televisions and a big screen, regular DJ sessions, quizzes and live music events five nights out of seven. (There are even private karaoke…
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…
The Catwalk Rock Lounge
95 Union Street, Glasgow, G1 3TA
A deep winding staircase leads down from busy Union Street into The Catwalk Rock Lounge, formerly Underworld. As is to be expected from a pub affiliated with The Cathouse, rock music plays a large part here and the predominantly black-clad clientele…
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…
