The Star Bar: 1 Northumberland Place, Edinburgh


Prior to visiting the Star Bar I needed cash, so I popped into Sainsbury’s to get cashback. This meant buying a bag of cookies, but I’m glad I did as the Star Bar has a small beer garden out the back where you can enjoy your pint and eat a picnic if you wish.

This is lucky as the Star Bar is not that easy to find so you’ll be hungry by the time you eventually sit down with your beer! However the Star Bar is worth the effort. It produces an enjoyable pint, the barmaid was 9 out of 10, and there is entertainment such as a foozball table, a jukebox, a dartboard, sport on the telly and even a punter who was dressed up a bit like a pirate.   

There is apparently supposed to be a skull on display in this bar but we couldn’t see it, perhaps like the bar it’s just difficult to find? Definitely worth a visit though!
