Edinburgh pub recommendations please

As per title please guys.

Currently with my mate in this fine city at the end of a 3 day bike tour. He told me he’d been here a few times and knew his way about. He now admits it was for stag dos and his memory is rather hazy.

We want non touristy, non trendy wine bar in the city centre please.

PS he thinks Grass market might be the place to head??

Decent pubs in the centre…Thistle St Bar, Teuchtars and others on William St, Cafe Royal at the east end

Cheers!

Only one..

Byrony bar and drink Caledonian80 8)

Cloisters and Bennets at Tollcross

Berts Bar and Tuechters in William St

Clarks Bar and Cumberland – new town

Bow Bar on Victoria St – near Grassmarket

Cafe Royal and Abbotford – Rose St

Mathers – Cask and Barrel – Broughton St

All these have good beer and atmosphere. If you’re looking for girls then maybe not!

The Blue Blazer (off Grassmarket), The Abbotsford (East end of Rose Street), Cafe Royal (off St Andrew’s Square) and Kay’s Bar (Jamaica Street) if you fancy something a little out of the way.

Right, plenty to go at there. 2 pints in already on empty stomach. This ould be an interesting n ight

the new Hanging Bat half way up Lothian Road for craft beers

Is the Bailie Bar in Stockbridge still any good?

Peter it closed after you went teetotal 😛
