16 Best Bars & Pubs in Edinburgh | Condé Nast Traveler

"Bon Vivant lives up to its name: From the drinks menu to the atmosphere, everything is a bit indulgent—in the best possible way. Stylish and smart, the bar has a laid-back vibe thanks to Parisian flea-market lamps, dark walls, tabletop candles, and deep leather armchairs and booths. The sea of wine glasses is particularly noticeable in this beer- and whisky-happy city—the bar's selection has a reputation for being excellent." - Krystin Arneson
