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 Bar 50

Located on the corner of Blackfriars Street and the ever lively Cowgate, Bar 50 could be the Old Town’s best kept secret. The lively bar and kitchen is a laidback place where the pool tables, live sports and occasional live music are as much of a draw as the food, beer and extensive cocktail list. The outdoor terrace is a hit whenever the sun pops out. Naturally, there are outdoor heaters for those nippier spells that are often a feature in Scotland.

About Cafe Andaluz George Street Edinburgh
