One of the oldest pubs in Edinburgh, the Golf Tavern was founded in 1456. This buzzing links-side pub serves up cask ales and a pub grub on rustic wood tables. There is an 18 hole pitch and putt on the Links, and Golf Clubs can be rented for a £5 deposit. Only open during summer it's really good fun, and adds an extra element to a pretty normal pub day out!
