Hello everybody, I will be visiting Edinburgh for the first time in February for the Six Nations game v England and would like to know any suggestions for a good whisky bar to visit after the game to drown my sorrows ! I will be based near the city centre.

Thank you and Slainte Crying or Very sad

Not the best place for post game drinks (closed to diners only after 630pm) but the bar at the amber restraunt downstairs at the Whisky Experince on the royal mile has a massive selection and decent prices

To drown your sorrows Smile

and if you only have time to visit one bar i would also recommend the Whiski Bar which is situated half way down Edinburghs Royal Mile, great food and a big varied selection of malt whisky.

All good sugestions above, closer to the ground the Athletic Arms have over 200 malts although not the most direct route to the match from the centre of town.

Thank you both for your replies, I have decided to visit the Whiski Bar to drown my sorrows, it is handy for my hotel and from what I have learned it sounds just what I am looking for, thank you.
