A Room in Leith
1c Dock Place,

A Room in the Town
18 Howe Street,
Edinburgh, EH3 6TG

A Room in the West End
26 William Street,
Edinburgh, EH3 7NH

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.
Abstract
33/35 Castle Terrace,
Edinburgh, EH1 2EL
It's important to set aside an entire evening for a visit to Abstract: a quick bite before curtain up at one of the nearby theatres would be doing it a great injustice. There's just so much vying for your attention here, from the mirrored pillars and…

L'Alba D'Oro
5–7 Henderson Row,
Edinburgh, EH3 5DH

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

Amber
The Scotch Whisky Experience, 354 Castlehill, The Royal Mile,

Anima

Arts Café
City Art Centre, 1 Market Street,

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…
La Bagatelle
22a Brougham Place,
Edinburgh, EH3 9JU

Bangkok Café
53 Clerk Street,

Edinburgh, EH2 4RA

Baroque
39-41 Broughton Street, New Town,
Edinburgh, EH1 3JU
You'd have called it a style bar back in the heady days of the late-90s, but Broughton Street's Baroque is no longer the epicentre of cool. Posing pre-club queens now move on to hipper joints and Baroque's former core clientele has either mutated into…
El Barrio
119 Rose Street,
Edinburgh, EH2 3DT
While the attendance of a bouncer on the door may hint at the party going on downstairs, a relatively modest exterior gives little suggestion of the fiery Latin spirit waiting inside. With a well-stocked bar – complete with exotic beers, rums, tequilas…

Bella Mbriana
7–11 East London Street,
Edinburgh, EH7 4BN

Bellini
8b Abercromby Place,
Edinburgh, EH3 6LB
Eating at Bellini, with its grand, welcoming dining room complete with chandeliers, candle-light and background opera music, is an experience to be savoured. This New Town gem is no place for a quick, cheap meal, so settle in and soak up the sumptuous…

Bennet’s Bar
8 Leven Street,
Edinburgh, EH3 9LG
Scotland
Although it’s just as much a locals’ bar, Bennet’s catches a lot of passing trade from the King’s Theatre a couple of doors along (just in case you wondered why seven dwarves are pitching up at the bar come Christmas time). The original Victorian and…

Bigos
277 Leith Walk,
Edinburgh, EH6 8PD
There is a home-spun image created by the rough hewn wooden word 'Bigos' nailed on to the front of this tiny restaurant. And despite the dangerous looking agricultural implements and animal skins hanging on the walls, Bigos does without doubt have a…
