32 Castle street, EH2 3HT
City Centre, Edinburgh
Cuisine: British, Scottish, Traditional
Badger & Co is on Castle Street in the former home of Kenneth Grahame, the author of Wind in the Willows. This history plays a prominent part in the decor. Think Toad Hall’s padded leather seats, chandeliers and wood panelled walls. There are deer heads wearing wigs and a picture of a well dressed badger riding a penny farthing. It’s how a 21st century hipster might imagine an Edwardian gentleman’s club. As well as a private dining room, there are several intriguing nooks and crannies and a courtyard for al fresco drinks and dining.
9-11 Annfield, EH6 4JF
Leith, Edinburgh

The cocktail list begs to be explored thoroughly.
36 Bell Street, G1 1LG
Since 1995, Blackfriars has been giving Merchant City real ale fans plenty to smile about. With twelve beer taps – five real ales, many Scottish – alongside some 40 bottled beers from all over the world, there is plenty of choice. It is not hard to see why Blackfriars has won CAMRA’s Glasgow Pub Of The Year twice. The basement venue hosts regular club nights with DJs and bands playing the hippest music from the 1950’s onwards. If many of Blackfriars neighbours are style bars, this is more of an honest to goodness pub.

South Side, Glasgow
Cuisine: British, European, Gastro Pub
Popular Shawlands institution, Church on the Hill, has undergone a revamp. The cavernous pub has been restored, reworked and reimagined, with refreshed decor and a brand new menu.

There is also a new cocktail list created with the expert alchemists at The Spiritualist bar.

1008 Argyle Street, G3 8LX
Cuisine: British, Modern, Bar Food
The first of three – and counting – Lebowskis bars, this original Argyle Street outlet opened in 2017. It could be argued that Lebowskis helped kick start the surrounding Finnieston area as one of Glasgow’s most fashionable neighbourhoods for eating and drinking. From the drinks menu to the bowling skittles, the quirky spirit of the film which inspired the bar is evident throughout. Expect a decor which is stripped back but comfortable. Outside seating and Lebowskis’ signature range of White Russian cocktails are among the attractions.

284 Bonnington Road, EH6 5BE
Launched in early 2013, The Bonnington in between Leith Walk and Ferry Road has quickly won a loyal customer base in the Bonnington area. A local pub, it offers regular live music, quiz nights and great bar comfort food – all served with a smile and some cheery banter.

A conservatory makes the most of the summer months while a log-burning stove keeps it all cosy in the colder months

The Mash Tun on Easter Road is an unpretentious modern pub and restaurant offering a diverse range of beers, along with fresh pizza, comfort food classics and traditional fare.
