Edinburgh's beauty is matched with its cultural sophistication, which is definitely true when it comes to the number of classy bars peppered around the city. Hotspots like Bon Vivant, The Raconteur, Bramble, and hidden gem Under The Stairs are just some of our favourite cocktail bars, essential watering holes designed to dazzle your tastebuds. There's also the super chilled out The West Room with a lovely atmosphere and welcoming staff, ideal for a long boozy drinking date.
If pubs are more your thing, the Peartree Hotel is undoubtedly a highlight, and one of the few bars with a beer garden, so if the sun makes an appearance, be sure to head down! For combined drinking and eating, The Caley Sample Room is essential, with its impressive selection of local ales and sumptuous grub, which in 2010 earned it a nomination from The Scottish Restaurant Awards.
There are plenty more to discover though, so get searching for Bars in Edinburgh here.
