Edinburgh Pubs And Bars

Savour a dram of Glenkinchie (an Edinburgh Malt) at a Rose Street bar, surrounded by brass, mahogany and fiddle music. It’s only a few yards to George Street where you can knock back a Whisky Mac cocktail, amidst the Art Deco majesty of a converted bank building.

In the nineteenth century there were almost 50 breweries in the vicinity, and although most of them have gone, the unique pub culture they inspired remains - in Edinburgh alone, there are around 400 pubs today.

If the dark charms of Caledonian ale in a gothic themed pub don’t appeal, then visit the contemporary designer bars of the city. There are many elegant and radically-designed bars in the city centre and Leith which offer a wide selection of spirits, wines, cocktails and vintage malts.

Venture to the country pubs in the wider city region and have a bar lunch beside the Union Canal or enjoy the regionally brewed Belhaven beer while looking out toward the Bass Rock.
