It's lost a little of it's charm, but Bennet's is still one of the very best in the town. Just what an Edinburgh boozer should be.

Good pub - and ideal for a swift pint if you're waiting for a carry-out from the brilliant Loon Fung almost next door!

Great pub, good beer, decent whisky and wine - eclectic crowd.

If you want a big slice of mulleted, shoulder-padded 80's on a Saturday night - and you're mad enough to take it on - Harry's is you place.

The 80/- is now shockingly undrinkably horrinbly bad. Avoid at all costs.

A faded shadow of its former self. Can they cram in any more Guinness promotional tat? Very disappointing.

The Bow Bar shows that with a bit of time and money and love and care you can create a "proper" Edinburgh boozer from scratch. Mr Fraser's earlier works at the Blue Blazer and the Cumberland were just the warm-up for thi brilliant little pub. It ticks all the boxes.

Excellent contemporary bar serving the creative and overworked community. Great beer garden - probably the most central in the city now.

Another honest Edinburgh boozer which hasn't really changed in 100 years. Get in there - keep your eyes and ears open and your mouth shut (apart from sampling the fine ales) and you'll begin to understand what Edinburgh is about.

Along with Clarks, the Canny Man and the Diggers, Kay's is your perfect Edinburgh howff. Great beer, managed with, eh, personality warm surroundings and a good crowd. Pile in on a dark dreich rainy/snowy night and you'll not want to leave.

TheGP - you're an idiot. The building was an insurance office until 5 years ago. That said, it's an excellent makeover and a decent boozer.

The food's up and down, but I object to a bar called "Garpe" having one of the worst wine lists in town. When it first opened the wine list was exceelent. Now your local petrol station has a better cheaper range.

So long as you know your postcodes, the Sunday evening pub quiz is a belter.

The Diggers (Athletic Arms), Edinburgh
So long as you're drinking heavy, this is THE Edinburgh pub.

A proper Edinburgh boozer: Gantry bar - check. Maroon Veitchi flooring - check. Maroon vinyl seating - check. 80 bob - check. Licensee who's been looking after proper beer for 30 years - check. Regular crowd of >300 - check. Clark's is the real deal.

Roseburn Bar, Edinburgh
Even though Davy Wilson's no longer in charge, still one of the best pubs in town.
