Best Beer Gardens in Edinburgh

Better-known for its non-stop sports offering and unforgettable drinks deals, Edinburgh's Belushi's also just happens to be home to a stellar beer garden. Decked out with picnic tables, it's the ideal spot to chow down on some American-inspired nosh post-game.

Transforming in the summer months, Slug and Lettuce takes over part of George Street to erect a beautiful garden. Take in the gorgeous street in all its festival glory as you toast with 2 for 1 cocktails and tasty bites.

Located in the heart of St Andrew Square, The Refinery offers some of Edinburgh's most luxe settings. Boasting a sun-filled terrace to the front of the restaurant, this is the perfect spot for an al fresco brunch or a few fruity tipples.

Boasting a gorgeous rooftop, Cold Town House is a real gem in Edinburgh's bar scene. Head here in the summer months to kick back with a brew, munch on tasty pizza and take in the awe-inspiring views of the castle.

56 North is a charming cocktail bar that hides a secret terrace that we reckon everyone deserves to know about. Grab a drink at the bar, search through the many doors of the venue and see if you can find the beautiful garden hiding at the back. Trust us, you won't forget the experience in a hurry.

The Three Sisters has to be one of Edinburgh's best beer gardens. Bursting into life whenever there's live sport on TV, the huge projector screen and well-stocked bar work together to create a pitchside atmosphere that could rival any. 

When we hear the words 'beer garden', we immediately think of The Pear Tree. A stone's throw from George Square, this huge beer garden always draws in crowds from across the entire city, flocking to its giant projector screen and tasty barbecue.
