10Best Says

Founded in 1456, The Golf Tavern sits on the edge of Bruntsfield Links, which used to be a golf course. You'll still find people playing golf on the Bruntsfield Links today and they're every bit as likely to end the round with a pint at the tavern. It was completely redesigned and renovated in 2011 and the opulent interior retains as much of the historical character as possible. You'll find a well-stocked bar and a good selection of tasty food on offer. The bar staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and they'll be happy to advise you on a real ale or whip you up a cocktail.
