The Standard: 24 Howe Street, New Town, Edinburgh



My guide book described this as “more like a New York Bar and Grill than a Scottish pub”. Having been to New York I would say that while the Standard is perhaps a bit more unique than many of the traditional chain pubs in Edinburgh, it is far more EDI than NYC - did you like what I did there! It’s a trendy looking bar of the sort you might find on George Street though more relaxed.

The place has a decent beer selection and provides a comfy seat with cushions to sit on while you watch the sport.  My only complaint was that the games machine advertising Deal or No Deal, was offering only no deal, as the machine was broken.    

Tune in next time for Star Bar. Bring cookies!
