About Badger & Co

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.

About Dine

Located in the heart of Edinburgh’s Theatreland and the city’s financial district, Dine is a handsome restaurant, cocktail bar and Champagne lounge.

About Malones Edinburgh

Malones Irish Bar is a cheery sports bar on Forrest Road – handy for Edinburgh Uni students. A large bar with a mezzanine and gallery, it has plenty of nooks and crannies in which to while away a couple of hours. Or days. Regular live bands and ceilidh nights keep the crowds dancing. Sports fans can watch all the action on four large HD screens and two projector screens.

About Monboddo

Tucked away inside DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel, Monboddo is an ultra sleek cocktail bar and dining spot on Bread Street.

Although it takes its name from an 18th century Scottish philosopher, the decor of eye-catching turquoise sofas, designer lighting and statement mirrors is fully contemporary. The wall-to-ceiling windows let in lots of natural light and also make Monboddo ideal for people watching.

About Mother's Bar & Kitchen

Mother’s Bar and Kitchen is a gin-focused bar on Howe Street in Edinburgh’s New Town. It is a fun place with bowler hat lights hanging over the bar alongside the occasional touch of Victoriana and big screens for the major sporting events. There are booths, banquette seating, a couple of nooks
and crannies plus a compact outside seating area for the sunny days. In short, Mother’s will look after you whether you want to watch the match with friends, have brunch with family or dinner with a date.

About The Brasserie at the Glasshouse

The Brasserie at the Glasshouse is part of the five star Glasshouse hotel on Greenside Place in Edinburgh city centre. Glass walls flood the restaurant with light and give dramatic views of nearby Calton Hill. Comfy armchairs and upholstered benches in Paris green and forest hues give the Brasserie a peaceful, relaxing ambience.

Before or after dinner you can enjoy a drink in the recently renovated Snug whisky bar, which serves a selection of almost 100 types of Scotch. You can sip your dram by the fireplace or on the roof garden and even pair it with a premium cigar. And if whisky isn’t your tipple of choice, then the bar’s team of expert mixologists can also craft you a cocktail.

About The Witchery By The Castle

Romantic, historic and utterly unique, the Witchery has been wowing discerning diners in the capital since the 1980s, serving Hollywood A-listers alongside loyal locals. The décor is an undeniable part of the appeal, all carved panelling, lush drapes, exposed beams, heraldic insignia and gilded ceilings, reflecting the building’s 16th-century origins. Candlelit tables offer intimate ambiance, while the cuisine lives up to the surroundings, with the emphasis on high-quality Scottish seafood, beef, lamb and game, elegantly prepared and presented.
