MISSION STATEMENT
The Skinny strives to bring something special to its dedicated readers. And this year, every issue, the Miller Genuine Draft Where it's at... feature will bring you one of each of the cities' most unique and funky venues, plus the chance to win free beer delivered to your door for a year. Now don't say we don't spoil you.

In order to bring you something different to enjoy in your free time, we have hunted high and low through Scotland's cityscapes, to bring a bit of sparkle back into your social life; these places are perfect for entertaining special friends, and meeting new ones. Not only do we review the drinks, food and entertainment, but more importantly, the atmosphere, the client'le and those particular details that make these places unique.

Hector's, Edinburgh

Inside: like the warm reaching arms of a trendy young mum, a library, or suchlike. Brown is dominant. Warm, but with a nice big windae.

Provisions: tasty all round.

Client'le: you, me, others.

Magic moment: Sunday afternoon drum 'n' bass sessions - supposedly for relaxing to.

Atmosphere: a combination of Stockbridge residents taking it easy on their own doorstep, and destination-visitors taking it easy on tour. Easy, then. And mixed.

Opener: "Has anyone seen Barney? If he doesn't get a bacon sandwich he'll start harassing children."

Hector's, 47-49 Deanhaugh Street, EH4 1LR - 0131 343 1735


Corinthian, GLASGOW

Inside: Like being about one centimetre tall, in an upside-down chandelier. Don't let the gloriousness of your surroundings make you feel small. This is an incredible place to be.

Provisions: expert coffees and cocktails.

Client'le: serious, funny, fun.

Magic moment: Scorching electro-riffs at Omerta, the incongruous but funky weekly nite.

Atmosphere: In the afternoons ex-brigadiers sit reading the Spectator and query the use of modern design in a grand-old environment. At night, social-colonels rally the troops.

Opener: "Where's my hat? You may know me from my high-profile media career, but I'm nothing without my hat."

Corinthian, 191 Ingram St, Glasgow, G1 1DA - 0141 552 1101
