Bennet's Bar, 8 Leven St, Edinburgh, EH3 9LG
 [CN] What's the vibe at Bennet's?Forget any sort of hipster pretension: Bennet's has retained its Victorian character since it first opened in 1839, making it a wonderful "old man bar" in the rapidly developing Tollcross. It’s full of antique charm, thanks to gorgeous stained glass windows and old maps under the glass tabletops. But a little modernity has crept in‐gorgeous red banquettes, for example‐making it a welcoming place for any age. Keep an eye out for the snug, Victorian-era space once frequented by those who didn't want to be seen in a public bar‐mostly women, priests, or policemen. You can relive those bygone days by ordering your drink through the hatch. Cool. Tell us more about the crowd‐it sounds eclectic. This is a casual place where locals stop in for a pint on their walk home. You won't catch too many tourists here (those who are, are likely heading to the theater next door). What should we be drinking? Beer or whisky‐the bar has more than 150 single malts alone. Posted by: Besoeker 2019-03-23 |
