1.0 miles
20 North Bridge, Edinburgh, EH1 1YT

A century ago, the marble columns, plush wood panelling and ornate cornicing of this grand room were privy to some fair old wrangles, as canny businessmen haggled with the Scotsman newspaper’s clerks over ad rates. Nowadays, there’s much less for…

With its higgledy-piggledy chairs, wooden candelabras and a frankly ridiculous number of paintings on the walls, the New Bell has the feel of an old pub trying its hand at the antiques trade. It’s charming, but perhaps a little grubby round the edges.
