The Doric is a fab bar near to Waverley station, and the restaurant upstairs is great! The Whiskey experience on the Royal Mile near to the castle is also a great way to spend an afternoon. My two tips would be pay for the upgraded package which includes some tasters after the tour, and don't go on an empty stomach  |

That sounds really good!!! Did you stay in a hotel on your trip? Not sure to give Airbnb a try |

"There are some great bars along Rose Street.
Personally I'd avoid George Street.
Is george street a bit rough?
The opposite... full of posh wankers in suits thinking they're all that.  "
Ha ha nobody needs that shite on a night out!!! Is it difficult to get into bars late on as we'll be a group of lads |

Agree with above posters comments about George Street!
The Grassmarket seems to be the most popular place for groups of lads/lasses.....plus it's close to Lothian Road n the pubic triangle if you fancy ogling some strippers |

It's been years since I've been in them,last time was after work when I worked at the parliament when it was being built....so however long ago that was!
The ones at the pubic triangle are defo a bit more downmarket n full of guys on their way home from work n old men sitting reading the Daily Record in between perving!
Slightly more upmarket would be the lap dancing type clubs on Lothian Road.
I would imagine anyway,I've not been for aaaaages  |

Oh I love Edinburgh, sadly didn't make it up there at all last year, normally visit a couple of times a year.
I love the Miros Cantina Mexican on Rose Street. So many great bars and restaurants, need to book in a return trip! |

Was going to suggest the Cafe Royal if you like seafood and oysters. Whistle Binkys bar always seems popular when I've been as well, live cover band. I like going on ghost tours but I'm guessing that's not on your to do list |

I've never experienced a ghost tour! We go away once a year with the outlook to do these things but it always just ends up in the pub! We went Cardiff last year and it was brilliant |

Depends on your budget. I have stayed in a few hotels and apartments there over the years. Sheraton is nice or the Scotsman but expensive. Angels Share and Caledonian are also good. If there's a few of you an apartment might be a better option. |

It more so depends on location to the nightlife so I can follow my breadcrumbs while crawling back to the hotel |
