Edinburgh Style Bars

Feature by RJ Thomson | 12 Dec 2006

Lulu
Designed with exclusiveness in mind (a perfect guilty pleasure!), Lulu has your most debauched fantasies close to its heart. Giant sultry sofas, low-lit social areas: all-round glamorous drinking
Clientele: hats, legs, 'scent'
Magic Moment: When the lights under the dancefloor change colour just as you step on out

Dragonfly
Stencilled Seventies imagery, from Bruce Lee to Blaxploitation spin-offs, cover the walls to create a collaged, contemporary effect. Nicely done.
Clientele: haircuts, trainers, clothes
Magic Moment: Walking down the stairs as the 'object' of your dreams walks through the door

Assembly
Regular slots from top-notch djs make this the most accessible style bar in town for music fans. Well-proportioned social spaces, a nice long bar. Yeah, we like it.
Clientele: hoodlums, crackpots, girls
Magic Moment: The simple, modern and rather beautiful wooden screen in the middle of the room


Human Be-In
Perfect for lounging with the latest copy of the Skinny, choose from private alcoves, any number of comfy seats, or a posing-spot next to the giant windows. Affable staff.
Clientele: non-human, and human
Magic Moment: When the sun comes out their south-facing esplanade is the place to be


Forth Floor Bar
Take the lift past several floors of retail experience to enter the sleek penthouse world of the Forth Floor Bar: smooth white surfaces, smooth white customers.
Clientele: spiffing, and that
Magic Moment: It has to be the view. Even the highest bars in New York can't see Fife
