Whether you’re a hospo worker coming off shift or simply like burning the midnight oil, Rachel Reid, brand ambassador for Monkey Shoulder, shares her tips for later opening bars
Bramble
16a Queen Street, Edinburgh
A true institution, Bramble continues to set the tone for a great night out. Their namesake cocktail is fantastic and the service always friendly and approachable. As hip hop plays out of the speakers, you can’t help but become immersed in the low-lit, relaxed vibe and moody atmosphere.
Nice N Sleazy
421 Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow
Nice N Sleazy is an iconic, gritty dive bar that puts on incredible gigs for up-and-coming musicians of all genres. It has an unpolished charm but the service is genial, and the drinks well-priced and delicious. A great way to end a night with friends and have a wee dance.
Tabac
10 Mitchell Lane, Glasgow
Tabac is an intimate cocktail bar with low lights, music, art and great cocktails at its core. The menu is well thought-out, with drinks to suit all tastes. They’re innovative too, using the likes of blueberry sherry and toasted green coffee syrup. A perfect place for couples to enjoy a late-night date night.
