BANNERMAN'S
(
www.bannermanslive.co.uk
; 212 Cowgate)
A long-established favourite - it seems like every
Edinburgh student for the last four decades spent half their youth here - Bannerman's
straggles through a warren of old vaults beneath South Bridge. It pulls in crowds of stu-
dents, locals and backpackers alike with live rock, punk and indie bands.
