It looks like summer has finally arrived, which means many of us will be thinking about heading to one of Edinburgh’s many amazing beer gardens.
With that in mind, we asked our readers to name their favourite beer garden at a pub in Edinburgh – and we had so many responses.
Recommendations ranged from traditional pubs to trendy cocktail gardens, as well as family-friendly spots with plenty of space for the children to run about and the occasional 'hidden gem’.
We couldn’t include all your suggestions but here are some of those which cropped up most often. Take a look through our photo gallery to see 18 amazing Edinburgh beer gardens, as chosen by you.
5. Bellfield Beer Garden & Tap Room
A real ‘hidden gem’, it’s fair to say many locals don't even know about Bellfield Beer Garden & Tap Room, despite it being just a stone’s throw from the city centre. Photo: Third Party
6. Teuchters Landing
One of the most popular pubs at Leith's trendy Shore area, Teuchters Landing in Leith has a fantastic beer garden right on the water's edge. Photo: Third Party
7. The Cumberland Bar
Did someone say Pimms O’Clock? This traditional bar in the heart of Edinburgh's New Town has a large beer garden that's always popular on sunny days. Photo: Third Party
8. The Pear Tree
The Pear Tree came up so many times when our readers were asked to name their favourite Edinburgh pub gardens. Located in Newington, its famous beer garden has a big screen for live sports, and is known for hosting barbecues and live music. This place gets packed to the rafters when the sun shines on Auld Reekie. Photo: Third Party
