The Golf Tavern

Perhaps more of a sportsman's bar than a sports bar, The Golf Tavern does have plasma screens showing major sporting events (and is inevitably crowded on such days), but not to the overall detriment of the atmosphere on non-game days. The pub grub on offer has been given a slightly more refined (read: middle class) twist, with Applewood mac & cheese and chorizo-stuffed chicken, and the bar's location overlooking the grassy Bruntsfield Links makes it a draw for families and students as much as the rugger and footie lads.
