artichoke and sorrel; and juniper-smoked pigeon with wild garlic

heavy entrance door, which one wheelchair user found manage-
able. There’s plenty of circulation space once inside.

Drinking & Nightlife

Edinburgh has always been a drinker’s city. It has

more than 700 pubs – more per square mile than

any other UK city – and they are as varied and full

of character as the people who drink in them, from

Victorian palaces to stylish pre-club bars, and from

real-ale howffs to trendy cocktail lounges.
