Best Nightlife in East Calder

"Address: 354 Castlehill, Edinburgh, EH1 2NEWebsite: The Scotch Whisky Experience. If you’re on a visit to Edinburgh your trip won’t be complete without a visit to the Scotch Whisky Experience, located just a short walk from Edinburgh Castle Esplanade on The Royal Mile. The attraction features tours and whisky tasting sessions along with a very enjoyable journey through the history of one of Scotland’s most famous exports, brought to you by several resident ghostly tour guides."

"This museum is dedicated to the history and fabrication of whisky, the national pride of Scotland. It’s located at the beginning of the Royal Mile, right next to the Camera Obscura and World of Illusions museum. The tour starts in a merry-go-round where you ride in a barrel through different rooms."

"The perfect blend of Scottish history, sprits and education, situated just next door to the Castle. Discover the stories behind maturation and the vital ingredients that make Scottish Whisky so unique. Take a barrel ride, step back in time and become part of the whisky making process."

"Timberyard is a family-run restaurant smack bang beside Edinburgh castle. Having had successful restaurants in the capital city already, the family decided to close their previous ventures and concentrate on Timberyard, with the children (rather than the parents) taking control this time. This brick and stone warehouse has a few different characterful areas to hold a party or wedding."

"It is not just Edinburgh’s pubs that are embracing craft beer, many of its restaurants are too. Two of these, Timberyard and Blackfriars, have bars open all day to non-diners. Blackfriars particularly (which I didn’t visit, it is closed Monday/Tuesday), is an established part of an Edinburgh beer circuit which includes, among others, the Bow Bar and the local branch of Brewdog."

"Well-known for its stone-baked pizzas and organic wines, Harmonium is a restaurant that is committed to creating tasty food that is cruelty-free and plant-based. There is something on the menu to suit everybody, from pizza, burgers, coffee and waffles. The relaxed vibe in this restaurant makes it an excellent place to go for a catch-up with friends or a meal out."

"If you are looking for more of a Thai-authentic vibe for your rooftop needs, then Chaophraya is the place to go. Exciting Thai cuisine and exclusive cocktails await you in this bar and restaurant - with one of the most exciting prospects being a sharer cocktail served in a mini bathtub. There are also cocktails following Thai recipes and these can all be enjoyed while overlooking Edinburgh's beautiful skyline."

"A post shared by Bella Normand (@bellanormand) on Jul 17, 2017 at 2:02am PDT. Following on from the Glasgow restaurants success, Chaophraya moved to the capital and set up camp atop a city centre office building. Sounds very average so far, until you travel up the lift, ascend the glittering staircase and enter the restaurant."

"One of the best Thai restaurants in the city, Chaophraya is a sleek rooftop with a modern vibe, floor-to-ceiling windows and incredible castle views. When it comes to outdoor dining?. This Edinburgh eatery is really packing a punch with its suntrap terrace."

"The Liquid Room is known as one of the UK’s leading venues for gigs and club nights, which is why you won’t want to give this place a miss!. They have worked with artists from pretty much every music genre to provide some unforgettable club nights. Mansion Wednesdays and Indigo Thursdays are the most popular student nights here, providing hours of entertainment and cheap drinks."

"This club is one of the busiest in the city and it attracts a really diverse mixed crowd of fun-seekers. Descend down the staircase into the underground venue and you'll find a massive dance floor with plenty of room to roam. Some of the best new bands on the scene took the stage here before their big break."

"This club is a bit more accessible than many of the crazier places in Edinburgh, but it still maintains its hip edge. Descend into the underground venue and you will find a massive dance floor with plenty of room to roam. Some of the best new bands on the scene take the stage here before their big break."

"The Oxford is a small pub down an old side street in Edinburgh's new town. It derives its name from the Edinburgh offices of Oxford University Press, which in the early years of the twentieth century were based opposite. The Oxford is just two rooms, a slim bar where customers can stand two-deep facing the counter, and a slightly larger back room heated with a coal fire."

"Walk down Victoria Street (there’s a fantastic whiskey bar there – The Bow Bar – which is my favorite in Edinburgh’s Old Town!) and you’ll end up on the Grassmarket, a cute historic square with tons of pubs and a fabulous view of the Edinburgh Castle. Visit the Edinburgh Castle"

"Once named "best drinker's pub in Britain," the Bow Bar is known for its huge selection of ales, malts and whiskeys. At last count, there were 140 kinds of malts on the menu!. The bar staff are friendly and always ready to help newcomers choose a suitable tipple."

"Offering vegetarian, gluten-free and hearty vegan options, this restaurant is a go-to for families with kids. They have takeout options for their customers to accommodate those who love having meals outside or who find it hard to do so due to work. Kids have the chance to visit the playhouse which stands just a stone’s throw away from the place."

"Located at the east end of Princes Street, you’ll find the newest edition to Edinburgh’s shopping centres – St James Quarter. From beauty to clothing, electronics to footwear, this 4-storey centre covers 1.7 million square feet and includes restaurants, cafés, bars, shops, public spaces and leisure venues. A Roomzzz aparthotel where guests can stay for one night, one week, or even up to a year, as well as Edinburgh’s first boutique Everyman cinema will open during future phases."
