The Pot Still – Glasgow

Last week I ventured across the rolling countryside of Scotland, in a train record of 35 minutes (although the train beers I had may have sped things up), all to find myself in the foreign lands of Glasgow! After an evening of celebrating that old Burns man with some friends, I woke up and decided to hang around [...]

Out of the Blue

In my day to day life I don’t go to many really fancy places. It’s not that I don’t want to. I do. It’s not that I won’t make an effort to look good. I will. It’s more to do with the fact that that I’m one of the clumsiest/messiest people you’ll ever encounter. I’m [...]

Chinaski’s. By Euan.

So if you have ever spent some time in Glasgow and ventured out on the town on a number of occasions then the chances are (depending on your age, taste in music and level of drunkenness) you will have come across The Garage. A multi-storied den of white spirits and dodgy dancing, it is probably [...]

Leslies Bar

A quick exit from University, a fast black, pick up Lucas from his flat and we are off to Leslie’s bar. My lecture finished at six and we had been invited for a pint and a chat at Leslie’s (by the owner David) at seven so it all felt a little bit rushed. A deodorant [...]

Worldwide Whisky Bars Directory Teaser

This is what the map looks like so far. Please expand the view or move it about to see other continents. There are no less than 87 locations there at this stage and that does not include bars in Edinburgh (for which we have a separate directory here). This is all thanks to you guys! [...]

Worldwide Whisky Bars: Directory Development

After what Chris wrote about different whisky bars around the world and him dreaming of going and visiting them all, you flooded us with emails and Twitter messages recommending your favourite whisky-filled watering holes. Awesome work guys! Special thanks to Håvard Eide from Norway and Robert Ransom from Glenfarclas distillery (as I told you before, [...]

Worldwide Whisky Bars

When you are travelling around the world (I imagine some of our readers are jet setters) it can be hard work. You have to get to the airport at least 2 hours before a long haul flight, go through about fifty security checks including shoes off, belt off and sometimes all of your clothes off [...]

Whiski Bar & Restaurant

That was quick. It took Whiski Bar & Restaurant’s owners, Anne and Gary, a week and a bit to get us down there again for a dram and a chat, following the review of our spectacular Edinburgh Whisky Blog Pub Crawl. Chris and I were standing on the Royal Mile 5min before the meeting and [...]

Pub Crawl Recollected

There is so much to say about that night. First of all we did not expect that level of attendance. At the beginning there were over thirty of us. Later on we lost the count. The sheer volume of fine whisky we were ordering in consecutive bars was filling the hearts of poor bar tenders [...]

A map of Edinburgh’s whisky bars

We have just added a new feature to our site, it’s a map of Edinburgh with some of the best whisky bars marked on it. To see it simply click on the Whisky Bars tab on the top of the screen. We hope it’s useful. The map will be getting updated as we go so [...]
