Bennet's Bar

For a proper pint in a proper pub, get thee to Bennet's. An Edinburgh institution, this bar has a huge range of ales and whiskies to whisk you away to a land full of intricately carved wood and stunning high ceilings, populated by a kooky mix of locals, students, scribblers, musicians and thesps. Situated close to a clutch of art-house cinemas and theatres, it's a great post-performance retreat. The world maps on the tables may have inspired many a cross-continental adventure, but this near-perfect pub is as good a reason as any to stay at home.
