Edinburgh Pubs... Edinburgh Pubs and Edinburgh Clubs
www.edinburgh-pubs.co.uk
The Edinburgh Pubs Guide was created to
fulfill a need, for a comprehensive pub guide that covers the
Edinburgh pubs, and Edinburgh clubs scene. As the operators of Edinburgh
largest and most visited tourist directory, Edinburgh
Castle Biz, we are constantly being asked as to where
to find the best Edinburgh pubs, Edinburgh bars, Edinburgh
nightclubs, and Edinburgh clubs...
Edinburgh Pubs Guide features all types of Edinburgh pubs, from the trendy Edinburgh
pubs, to the traditional Edinburgh pubs, the themed Edinburgh
pubs... even the Australian Edinburgh pubs, and let's not
forget the Irish Edinburgh pubs... you name it - if it is
an Edinburgh pub, or an Edinburgh club or Edinburgh night club... we have it here!
Edinburgh has an amazing pubs scene with more diversity than you would find in cities four times our size! No matter what your age, or interests, there will be Edinburgh pub or Edinburgh club to suit your tastes. Edinburgh, and Scotland, is justifiably proud of our long beer brewing heritage, and if you are a lover of real ales, you will find plenty of bars who cater for the real ale/beer drinking aficionado. Over the last decade, Edinburgh pub operators have catered for the increasingly discerning taste of their customers. As more and more people are travelling extensively to the four corners of the globe, their drinking habits are changing,
as they are exposed to many exotic drinks and beverages on
their travels.
Years ago, the average Edinburgh pub customer
was easily satisfied, if they could get a pie and a pint!
Today the range of food that is offered in Edinburgh's licensed
premises is as extensive as their stock of beers, real ales,
wines, spirits and alcopops that are on offer through out
the City of Edinburgh. Edinburgh has some of the most liberal
licensing laws in the whole of the United Kingdom, with most
of the Edinburgh bars opening until midnight, or in many
cases 1pm. Generally, Edinburgh night clubs open until 3am,
and there is the occasional Edinburgh club which stays open until 5am!
If you are a student in Edinburgh, you will find that Edinburgh is a wonderland, as the typical student age group is heavily courted by the operators of Edinburgh bars in the city. There are innumerable Edinburgh bars, with special drink promotions, aimed at this age group.
If you have an Edinburgh pub, an Edinburgh
bar, an Edinburgh nightclub, or an Edinburgh club, an Edinburgh
gay bar or Edinburgh gay club and would like to appear on
the Edinburgh Pubs Guide, please contact us on 0131 478 0007.
