Edinburgh university review

Jenny E
star rating

 Some famous bloke (probably dead now) once said, apparently, that Edinburgh is everything Paris should be. He is, alas, dead now but the city's reputation has changed little. If you're looking for cosmopolitan, for pubs that are open just that little bit later, legally, for a mix of hectic nightlife and serene views then this could be your place.

There are a whole variety of pubs and bars to suit all tastes but the important thing is they're allowed to be open later than any others in Britain and that usually suits most tastes.

There are "those quaint little places where the quaint guy plays on his quaint fiddle" and there are the "trendy, hip, and cool places" where they play a lot of "Doof Doof music". Thanks to Gran for the quote.

You'll find much of the nightlife on Leith Walk and Broughton Street, on George Street and most streets off the Royal Mile.
