• The Scotsman ↗their pick · 2025-08-13
  • Hey PaluTollcross

    “Hey Palu is one of my favourite places. It's still central but just far enough from the chaos. Perfect for a Negroni (or two)”

  • NauticusLeith

    “if the crowds start to feel a bit much, Nauticus is my go-to for a beer and a whisky. It's near Leith, so just a short journey away, but well worth it. The drinks are great, and the service is genuinely some of the best in the city.”

  • The Devil's AdvocateOld Town

    “The Devil's Advocate is a great spot right in the heart of the action. A stone's throw from the Royal Mile, with a fantastic drinks' selection and a fun atmosphere.”
