luckyBatistuta Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 The Hermitage in Morningside is a great bar. Without doubt the best in Morningside. I'd stretch to say Bruntsfield as well. The food is absolutely top notch. Very highly rated on Trip Advisor too. Actually won a Trip Advisor award for excellence in food, drink & service. Staff are very friendly and knowledgable about drink. Oh and the HUNGARIAN BARMAID - Useless without pics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Maroonblood Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 I'm aware I haven't volunteered a best pub answer (before I'm told 'mon then, you come out with one'), but that's purely because I'll drink anywhere and everywhere. The best pub for me is wherever I'm having a good night that night. However, some of the suggestions on this thread for the best pub are ridiculous I can hand on my heart say I'd rather have a pint in The Vine or The Annfield compared to some of the 'best' pubs on this thread. And they were just the first two tired old boozers that sprang to mind. So even if the beer is shite as long as your having a good time.Fair enough.

Say What Again Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 So even if the beer is shite as long as your having a good time. Fair enough. Well, I don't drink beer or lager for a start.... However, if my mates didn't like the beer, I'm more than happy to move to the next pub - because I'm not fussed, I'm happy to go wherever someone suggests next. Anyway, that's not what I said anyway. I said I'm happy to drink anywhere if I'm having a good night. I hardly think the entire company complaining the beer is shite would constitute a good night would it? Or likewise my choice of drink was shite. You having a good time? Oh aye, this cider is rancid (something that hardly ever happens) and vastly overpriced. I'm loving it. Obviously the mix has to be right. Price, selection, and sport on TV (if it's weekend), but there are so, so many bars that fit those very simple requirements, I don't have a favourite.

tian447 Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 A pint of Tennent's is the same anywhere, to be fair I drink to get pished, not to have some microbrewed craft ale experience. As long as it's not a complete pit, most places are fine. It's more about the company you're with, and the fact that the place is clean more than anything else.

Jodami Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Best - Ormelie (my local so have to say that and Davie is a legend), Star Bar (great jukebox), Waverley, Safari (food), Windsor Buffet, Kays, Old Bell. Worst - Broadfields (super neds buzzing on cocaine and lager all day), Sheep's Heid (good boozer spoiled by white settlers). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Lyon Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Spent Tuesday afternoon in the 37 Bar which is the first time I have been in it for a couple of years. Very disappointed with the state of the place. Torn upholstery on the seats with non matching patches on some. The plague of bar flies didn't help either! The place was reasonably busy while we were there so it isn't short of custom. I suggest if the owners spent a bit of money on it it would be even more popular!

Debut 4 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Stumbled across the thistle Street bar recently, cracking proper boozer in the city centre. I like beer and skittles too, smart sports bar. The Balmoral has to be one of the worst Not bad boozer the Thistle but it's been a while since I was in there. My mates and I started an afternoon/night out there a couple of years ago. Hidden gem you might say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
