"Sandy Bell’s screams tradition. It’s been quenching locals’ thirst since the '20s and played a major role in the revival of Scottish folk music during the 1960s. Inside, you'll find a carved wooden bar, paneled walls, and, if you time it right, some rousing live folk bands. This bar is a cornerstone for Scottish music, and no trip to Edinburgh would be complete without paying it a visit." - Krystin Arneson
