saint jason Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Oh what fun! Our own little space at last. If anyone has been to good bars, reataurants, venues or indeed has found bargains, freebies and the like, use this thread.....................par example, Mathers in Broughton Street=good bar............All Bar One, George Street=bad bar. Cheap tobacco to be found in Rapido, Broughton Street, £2.50 for a wee pack of Drum, cheap as chips-unlike their chips. Many thanks, jc junniguoulk, jdjkdd, larlSlovals and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint jason Posted November 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 .................oh aye, if you get membership at the casino on York Place ('tis free), it is very, very cheap and open till 6am. Cheese and ham toastie, £1.20 please. Get a discount card in Pivo and you will get 33% off all drinks (22% at weekends) thus a Guiness would cost you £2.12 please:).

ryangordon86 Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 If you're looking for a good place to go with a lady friend, i'd suggest trying The Grape at the corner of George St and St Andrews Sq. It's a beautiful building inside with a nice chilled out atmosphere Its always pretty quiet, last time i was there was mid-festival on a Saturday night and they were doing 2-for-1 drinks until 9pm! ON A SATURDAY! not only that but they had staff walking round with trays of finger food and you got a free glass of bubbly on the way in! I don't know if that was a one off or if it happens every weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st Tommy Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 The Globe on Niddrie Street, just off the Royal Mile usually has cheap beer on the go. Either 2 4 1 or bottles for a £1 or something along those lines. Its also great for watching sport as its covered in TVs with a couple of big screens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginger Bakers rebel army Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 For the best Indian curry in Edinburgh you must try Ignite in Morrison St ,it is superb and better than the cavalry club. For that very special occassion the Secret Garden at the Witchery on the Royal Mile takes a lot of beating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
templeofsaints Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Best Thai - Dusit in Thistle St. Best Japanese - Koi up on Teviot Row Best Curry - for me it's still the Omar Khayyam @ Haymarket Good restaurant for a special meal is the New Bell on Causewayside - we were there in May and had a really nice meal.

The Globe is my usual watering hole, can always get a pint of lager or Cider for £2.25, got two projector screens and four plasmas linked into three sky boxes. Staff are a good bunch as well.

Saint O'Leith Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 The White House in Craigmillar and The Gunner in Muirhouse are fantastic places to take a lady on a first date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StDuncM Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Try here for great Turkish food and brilliant service but you need to book beforehand. There is a pub opposite called Drouthy Neebors (???) where you can while away the waiting time and when your table is ready they come and get you. http://www.hanedan.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintDougie Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 If your on an all nighter and want to carry on boozing after the clubs shut, pay a wee visit to the casino at fountain park, Drinking till 6am. Then, if your not done yet. Head to the Scotsman Bar at the top of the cockburn street. It's a posties bar and opens at around 6am. I may be bordering on alcoholic come to think of it:confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
