Bellfield Brewery Taproom & Beer Garden 
46 Stanley Place

Bellfield Brewery’s taproom is a veritable shanty town of outdoor wooden booths and barrel seats. A huge screen and projector will display the Euros for sessions, fuelled by their excellent selection of brewed on-site craft beers and pop-up food offerings from banh mi to tacos and fried chicken, depending on date.

Belushi’s
32–34 Market Street

Part of an international chain of hostel bars, Belushi’s attracts guests from across the globe. So they show all the big sporting fixtures: not just football and rugby, but American football, basketball, ice hockey, and even the Indian premier league. Food is basic bar fare (burgers, pizzas, loaded fries) and there’s an electric atmosphere on big game days. 

The Bothy
18 Corstorphine Road 

Given its proximity to Scotland’s stadium, The Bothy (inside The Murrayfield Hotel) is unsurprisingly mostly a rugby bar, but they will show the Euros on their screens this summer. Swish booths and a swanky interior make for more of a restaurant feel and the menu of scallops, steak and perfectly plated gnocchi is more sophisticated than your average plate of soggy sharing nachos. 

The Golf Tavern
30–31 Wright's Houses

Established in 1456, The Golf Tavern on the edge of Bruntsfield Links is one of Scotland’s oldest eating and drinking spots, still offering hearty pub grub fit for a clubhouse. You can golf for real on the pitch’n'putt course outside (just like in 1717), but a 21st-century addition is big screens inside showing major football fixtures, rugby, darts, the Superbowl, and (of course) the Masters and the Open. 

The Tourmalet
25 Buchanan Street

Tucked down a street off Leith Walk, The Tourmalet has plenty of character. If you’re not there to watch the stages of the Tour De France, Giro d’Italia or La Vuelta, there’s a mesmerising tropical fish tank to observe. Local craft beers are on tap and the international selection of bottled beer is eclectic.
