With all the university students that call the city home, Edinburgh is a fine place to go out in the evening, with plenty of bars and pubs all wanting to demonstrate their hospitality to visitors and locals alike.
Edinburgh bars are often open until later in the evening than their counterparts south of the border, and there are many clubs playing a wide variety of music to visit and soak up the laid back ambience.
Amongst many great choices are Bow Bar, Magnum, and Indigo Yard, which are all popular with the locals.
For a bit of later drinking, try Po Na Na, or the Peppermint Lounge. It's a good idea to pick up a local entertainment guide in Edinburgh, as many clubs have nights that cater to different tastes, so to find the kind of people you most like to get sweaty with you should follow the crowd.
