16 Best Bars & Pubs in Edinburgh | Condé Nast Traveler

"Inspector Rebus, the detective in Edinburgh author Ian Rankin's novels, frequents The Oxford Bar, making it a must-stop for bibliophiles on a literary tour of the Scottish capital. The interior is wonderfully basic, with a dark wood bar and brass pumps, and a fire that adds an old-fashioned warmth to the icy-blue walls. Don't expect fancy cocktails here; most patrons drink beer from one of the three cask selections, but there are also three wines sold by the glass." - Krystin Arneson
