16 Best Bars & Pubs in Edinburgh | Condé Nast Traveler

"By day, Heads and Tales is a working distillery for Edinburgh Gin. By night, it's a cozy drinking den. We love the exposed copper piping, the stills behind glass, and the jugs used as pendant lights. Most of the drinks served are gin based—the menu has eight pages of varieties—so we suggest settling in and learning about the spirit firsthand. For a special treat, take one of the gin masterclasses and design your own cocktail; the drink might not last until you make it home, but the recipe will." - Krystin Arneson
