GaryWood34 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Live in Edinburgh and we don’t have one single decent sportsbar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryWood34 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 There are 2 places that market themselves as such : Belushis - small place but plenty screens - would need booked. Three Sisters - Massive place with a beer garden - would need booked. Can be quite rough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim Jim Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 OK, it's a half hour walk but enjoyed watching a World Cup game in the Athletic Arms. Had great pies, pints & whiskies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biffer Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Ignore the inevitable reverse snobbery further up the thread, Edinburgh's great, but we just like people to wash occasionally (which is what the weegies above complain about). Pear Tree worth a shout The Globe on Niddrie Street Malones (both of them, Leith and Haymarket) Platform five is ok Belushis is good too, bit chain-y Black Bull in the Grassmarket Grovesnor on Shandwick Place Scotts, The Queens Arms, Milnes, Amber Rose on or around Rose Street The Chanter on Bread St, Innis and Gunn tap room on Lothian Road Angel's Share is meant to be good if you're looking for something posher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryWood34 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Nah Lothian road innis and Gunn doesn’t and neither does angels share. Neither has Tvs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither has Tvs. Innis and Gunn taprooms have screens for big events like 6Ns, be very surprised if they don’t do it for the Scotland games in the euros https://www.innisandgunn.com/taprooms/six-nations Angels Share do similar I’m told, not been in there to watch. Edit - Innis and Gunn on Lothian road is doing it, the one in Leith isn’t. Edited January 19 by biffer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
