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 a 36 hole pitch and putt on the Links, and golf clubs can be rented for a £5 deposit. Open April to October it's really good fun, and adds an extra element to a pretty normal pub day out!
