Bar Oz: 33 Candlemaker Row, Edinburgh



Struth, put another shrimp on the barbie, because this is the most Australian bar ever! It’s so authentically Australian that I expected to see Paul Hogan, Kylie Minogue and Rolf Harris all drinking at the bar!

Ok I’m exaggerating, but to be fair the owners have done a reasonable job in decorating the bar with surfboards and a corrugated roof over the bar. There are some bottles of Aussie piss (beer) such as Tooheys New and VB available in the fridge – ‘well you wouldn’t want a warm beer would you!’ There are also options of pints of beer that are actually drinkable such as Best and some other European beers.

The bar seems friendly, plays some good rock music, has a pool table, and shows plenty of sport (including unsurprisingly Aussie sport). I must say, despite not being a fan of themed pubs, I enjoyed my visit there. The horrendous, fake, Australian pub called Walkabout could actually learn a thing or two from Bar Oz.


Sheila, you were there!
