Best Nightlife in Throsk

"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."

"Visitors always leave Timberyard amply impressed, as it really couldn’t be any hipper!. Set in a sleek industrial warehouse, complete with arty exposed brick and carefully selected furnishings, this family-run extravaganza of an eatery champions local artisan producers, growers, breeders and suppliers. For days that demand outdoor dining and boozy lunches, the south-facing sun trap of a yard is delightfully unrefined, yet stylistically seamless."

"A friendly, family-run restaurant found on Lady Lawson Street, Timberyard is a must-visit in Edinburgh. It offers a new Nordic approach to Scottish food, with set menus ranging from four to six courses, with pescatarian and vegetarian options available. Dishes include the likes of ox tartare, glazed hake and sea kale, barbecued leek with potato and smoked curd, and a delicious carrot and walnut cake."

"The first thing that hits you at Timberyard is the sense of space: the high, bright ceilings with nary a tartan or tweed. The atmosphere feels slightly Nordic, a bit like a barn while echoing its roots as a former timber yard. The restaurant is often booked solid months ahead; it’s one of Edinburgh’s top restaurants, and for good reason."

"Casual but stylish vegan restaurant Harmonium opened its doors in Leith in 2017, and has gone from strength to strength ever since. The airy ex-pub is friendly and has a great menu that changes regularly, but at various times of year you can expect to see their take on a surf n'turf: a large seitan steak served with creamy potato puree, garlic butter, seared vegan scallops, steamed kale and green beans with smoked paprika. Other popular menu items include their battered "to-fish" supper, and their spicy jackfruit curry."

"Following on the success of their Hanover Street restaurant and the wonderful cafe in the values of St John's, comes a fully vegan restaurant situated in Thistle Street. This is Edinburgh's first fully vegan restaurant, and it looks to be a great success. The menu is brimming with luxurious flavourful dishes and there is certainly no sense that by eschewing meat and dairy diners are missing out."

"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."

"A stunning rooftop restaurant with views across the city and Edinburgh Castle, Chaophrya presents a perfect blend of authentic Thai cuisine bursting with sensational flavours. The chef’s signature starter selection featuring chicken satay, pork, prawn, grilled squid on bamboo skewers and Thai fish cakes served with a warm satay sauce is a firm favourite. 4th Floor, 33 Castle St, Edinburgh EH2 3DN (Tel: 0131 634 0023)"

"At Chaophraya, it’s hard to know which is more incredible—the rooftop terrace, the castle views or the authentic Thai cuisine. Sophisticated and sleek, this stellar restaurant is a favourite of locals and passers-by. The menu boasts a wealth of options, including vegetarian and ultra-spicy dishes, and the terrace is the epitome of perfection."

"Setting your romantic scene for a slightly later night carry on, the cocktail bar at the Chaophraya is 12pm to late!. Beforehand, take a seat for the A la Carte, Set or Vegetarian choices at this delightful Thai food restaurant. The views up top are breath taking and overlook towards Edinburgh Castle."

"One of the best gay clubs in Edinburgh, CC Blooms is the Leith Walk hotspot offering live drag nights and cool cocktails. A place to show off your most colourful clothes, every night at this fun and inclusive venue is worth the hangover."

"CC Blooms is one of Edinburgh's most popular gay clubs, boasting live cabaret, thumping tunes and tasty cocktails. Open until 3am every day of the week, it's the perfect venue for those nights that you never want to end."

"Specializing in single-origin specialty-grade coffee, Brew Lab serves up beans from Union Hand-Roasted, featuring two different espressos and filters each day so there is always something fresh to try. But for non coffee drinkers, craft beers and local wines along with salads, soups and sandwiches from local suppliers around Edinburgh are also up for grabs in this modern coffee house with a science lab vibe. 6-8 S College St, Edinburgh EH8 9AA, UK"

"Located near The University of Edinburgh, Brew Lab is the brainchild of coffee aficionados Dave Law and Tom Hyde, who—as the shop's name suggests—take a scientific approach to brewing. A variety of pulled, brewed, and filtered phenomena prevail here, all highlighting methods and single-origin coffees from partner roaster Union-Hand Roasting. Each type of bean is selected to complement different milks or straight-up black espressos."

"Two former Edinburgh University students got addicted to coffee while trying to get their essays in on time. Then, they created Brew Lab. They converted an old university office into one of the best coffee shops in the city."

"The Ox on London Street is a stylish and cosy gastropub that can be found at the bottom of Broughton Street, just a short walk from the centre of town. The pub has a quieter seated area that makes it perfect for families who can enjoy a pub setting and still get away from the hustle and bustle of the bar area with the little ones. Their delicious menu has all the pub classics and they even do a special deal on burgers on Tuesdays between 6-9pm, as well as a special roast offering on Sunday."

"Located at the bottom of Broughton Street, The Ox is a lively and vibrant place serving fantastic fresh local and seasonal produce specialising in Ox related items such as Ox cheek, Oxtail soup as well as lots of other great dishes and specials. They also do a fantastic Sunday roast with all the trimmings which proves very popular as well. The Ox is a great addition to Broughton Street."

"The Balmoral Hotel in Princes Street has a long-established commitment to whisky-drinking from the days when it was known as the North British Hotel. Today, just to the right of reception there is a tall, gracious whisky bar known as Scotch, where “whisky ambassadors” kitted out in the hotel's own tartan will not only serve you whisky but provide a personal introduction to whisky. These hour length sessions consist of four individually chosen drams per person, a few nibbles and a lot of history."

"The cool mix of coffee, breakfast foods and booze on their website are enough to make me want to visit here. The menu is heavy on burgers and serves all-day breakfast, which is two things I look for in a family-restaurant #sorrynotsorry I love that they specify that their pancakes are American style. I feel like there is a huge gap in knowledge between what Europeans call pancakes ( Canadian Crepes) and what we in North America call pancakes."

"Step into your dream, cheesy, American teen drama (*cough* Riverdale *cough*) in Edinburgh’s very own traditional late night diner just along from your Cowgate favourites such as Subway and Sneaky Pete’s. A blissful combination. Truly the platonic ideal for a stack of pancakes, sometimes simple really is the best."

"A kitschy American diner by day, the City Café becomes a pre-club party joint by night. Cocktail and beer pitchers are the main event, and on the weekends guest and resident DJs spin funk, hip hop and house tracks to get you in the mood for nearby dancefloors."

"This is the other venue I haven’t yet been to on this list apart from popping my head in – Dirty Dick’s sits along Rose Street amongst plain bars and pubs, looking much like a plain pub itself. And indeed it probably is as close as you’ll get to a plain pub on this list. Except it’s got stuff everywhere."

"This couple run restaurant fuses French bistro food with an Irish influence to produce fresh, responsibly sourced, and seasonal dishes like hake with purple laver crust and samphire and homemade ice cream for dessert. Enjoy 2 courses from the daily changing set menu for £9.50 or 3 for £11."

"Bia Bistot is a couple-run neighbourhood restaurant focusing on fresh, seasonal, local and sustainable produce. Order a restaurant quality meal to be enjoyed at home from a weekly menu of dishes including slow braised pork cheeks, butternut squash risotto and ginger cake."
