Brauhaus

Little bar with an epic selection of beers, a smaller but perfectly formed selection of natural wines, single malts and a few tasty bar snacks.

The 2018 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £7.95 (+p&p).

This titchy beer den in Tollcross contains (perhaps) all the beers ever bottled in Belgium and Germany – you get the feeling they'll be round looking for their stock back post-Brexit. With windows onto Lauriston Place, watch the world go by whilst sipping an Oude Gueuze alone, or forget the world with a few pals and sample some Whoop Ass from Beerbliotek, or a Bigmouth by the Yeastie Boys. Choose from around 250 bottled beers, 10 or so frequently-changing draught beers including a couple of Scottish craft ales, up to ten natural wines by the glass and 60+ single malts. You can nibble on good quality cornichons, olives and cured meats but really this is a place for enjoying a drink. The décor features lots of dark wood furniture and some seasonal foliage, but is dominated by an enormous chalkboard of beers. Cheers!
