          The Barony is one of Edinburgh’s last truly
        
        
          independent bars. The venue first opened as a
        
        
          drinks merchant in 1896, before becoming a pub
        
        
          - and it has been a staple of the Edinburgh scene
        
        
          ever since. When you visit, you’ll see all the original
        
        
          Victorian features, including real fireplaces, brewery
        
        
          mirrors, hand-painted 19th century tiles and the
        
        
          beautiful wooden bar. Loved by locals and visitors
        
        
          alike, The Barony has become well known for its
        
        
          delicious gastropub menu. We pride ourselves on
        
        
          creating modern versions of classic pub dishes, as
        
        
          well as lots of seasonal specials. Expect plenty of
        
        
          local seafood, meat and veg, alongside favourites
        
        
          like our famous mac & cheese and steak pies. We’re
        
        
          also very proud of our drinks menu, which features
        
        
          local ales, single malts, craft gins and a selection
        
        
          of wines from across the world. The Barony is also
        
        
          a dog-friendly pub, and we have a full license for
        
        
          children up to 10pm - everyone’s welcome!

          Opium is the place to dance and party in the
        
        
          city’s Old Town. The lively late night venue
        
        
          is open from 8pm to 3am during the week
        
        
          and at weekends. It can be found nestled
        
        
          on the Cowgate, just a stone’s throw from
        
        
          the High Street, making it a convenient end
        
        
          to a bar crawl. This is an alternative bar and
        
        
          club, serving great value drinks and playing
        
        
          cross-genre music on its two floors. The vibe
        
        
          is grungy and urban and the decor is dark
        
        
          and industrial, with a bar made from railway
        
        
          sleepers. Opium has special nights for metal,
        
        
          nostalgia, rock karaoke, live music and open
        
        
          mic sessions – it’s a great spot to catch up and
        
        
          coming alternative bands. There’s also table
        
        
          football, pool and a jukebox downstairs, ideal
        
        
          for those who want a break from moshing to
        
        
          the banging tunes.
