Basement

Basement bar is one of the trendy crew's favourites for pre–club build–up and Sunday afternoon come down. If that doesn't bother you, there's a wide ranging, well–cooked menu – the nachos get full marks –, interesting Czech beers and a pleasantly intimate atmosphere that's been built up around a genuine bar culture. Its popularity can mean finding a seat can take over your evening, especially if you want to eat. We suggest popping in for a quick drink or two and marvelling at the true hideousness of the staff's Hawaiian shirts. <i><b><a href='http://www.itchycity.co.uk/shop/' target='_blank'>Click here to buy Itchy Edinburgh, the UK's best–selling pocket–sized guide to what's on in Edinburgh, including restaurants, clubs, bars, hotels and shopping. </a></b></i>
