Athletic Arms
1–3 Angle Park Terrace
Athletic Arms, very much aka The Diggers, is an institution that is well worth a visit for any sporting occasion. It shows everything from darts to dogs: what more could you want? It has a wonderful whiskey offering at great prices and when you see folks in high vis and suits in the same bar, you know you’re in a solid melting pot.

Malones Edinburgh
242 Morrison Street
I had to pick an Irish spot . . . This is a great place to watch the football, have a lovely pint of Guinness and a drop of Irish whiskey. It really is one of the Irish gems in Edinburgh, the type of place where you become friends with the bartenders as soon as you walk in the door. It’s a good fun and up for a laugh, the perfect bar to watch Scotland v Germany in the Euros.

Teuchters Bar & Bunker
26 William Street
Enjoy a game of ring toss (throwing hoops at your favourite whisky on the back bar in the hopes of winning a dram), watch your team and revel in the atmosphere, all surrounded by an impressive whiskey selection for celebrating a win. Located in the West End, it’s ideal for grabbing a pie and soaking up the cosy, lively vibe surrounding a good game.
