-
Ever popular, its one-time ordinary pubness rapidly becoming exotic: big old mirrors, a mix of ages, drinks in pint pots and cheap lunches.
-
Lush red and cream gloss paintwork envelops this modest room of a pub, where the sounds are provided by the jovial babble of conversation and clinking glasses.
-
Swirling ceilings, brass lamps and a convivial atmosphere of both young and old, at lunchtime enjoying simple seafood dishes from the kitchen of the Oyster Bar next door (see Café Royal Oyster Bar) .
-
Not especially remarkable by Edinburgh’s high standards, but if you’re on the Royal Mile (and you will be), it’s a pleasant stop-off for a pint. Another ornate ceiling to peruse, too.
-
A Corinthian-columned whale of a building, entered through a flight of steps flanked by nocturnal doormen. Ballooning chandeliers, palm plants and a choice of bars: the vast and theatrical circle bar or the plush and cushioned side bar, with its evocation of the 1930s.
-
More intent on creating a vibe than simply serving drinks and food, Indigo Yard is good for lazy afternoons and carousing evenings.
-
Sharp-dressed slice of New York nightlife, set down amid the old-stone order of Edinburgh. Attached to the Point hotel (see Point) .
-
Popular, chic dj bar, with a cosy backroom dining space. The low-lit rooms provide plenty of space for chatting, as well as shaking a leg.
-
Bar, restaurant and rooms, in fact (see Rick’s) . Sleek design warmed by rich, earthy hues and quiet mood lighting.
-
Much-loved pub, its lights beckoning on cold winter nights, its pleasant side garden equally coquettish in the summer heat.
