Run by a Hungarian and a Scot, this Scottish haven is remarkable for its massive selection of international whiskies and knowledgeable staff. There's a private whisky room and shop and a great beer selection too with wee crackers like the Twisted Thistle and the Belhaven Best. Live music at times, sport often (hells yeah there’s English language commentary) and a warm welcome always, we heart this place.

The Cali is the sort of joint that stays open till 4am just so two people (ahem…) can watch Andy Murray win the US Open. It’s a sort of youth club for grown-ups, which, let’s face it is what everyone needs in their lives.
