The Scotsman's Lounge (Cockburn street)

A.K.A. the Lounge of Dreams, this pub has taken many a good man down. You are guaranteed a banter filled evening alongside a diverse group of punters if you visit on a Friday after work to hear acoustic Dave playing. The house favourite is a double vodka and lemonade (which I’m reliably informed includes 70ml of vodka, and comes served in a thimble sized glass for only £2.35). Half a dozen of them will see you raphing outside the Kebab shop before 8pm, and a provide a barry hangover the next day. Personally I prefer the Guinness, it’s a good pint – but at well over £3 a pint they don’t give it away!
