‘Scotland’s Best Bars’ aims to promote good Scottish pubs, bars and inns of all types to visitors. Bars which join the scheme will promote ambience, sociability and good quality service – and will normally have a range of products to match. Visitors will know from the scheme logo outside a participating outlet that they are visiting a bar where they can choose from, for example, Scottish and other cask ales, well-served regional ales and lagers, and/or fine wines and continental and other imported beers, craft ciders and more. Many will also offer a carefully-chosen range of malt whiskies and, perhaps, other deluxe spirits too. Visitors will expect friendly, efficient service and a warm and welcoming ambience. Depending on the venue, they may also find there’s a first-clas food offer too, or that it’s the best place in town to cheer on a rugby match. The scheme will signpost the country’s ‘best’ bars in all their remarkable diversity – from those offering rustic charm to historic city pubs, busy and characterful ‘locals’ and elegant style bars.

‘Scotland’s Best Bars’ has been developed by VisitScotland after discussion with other leading bodies: The British Institute of Innkeeping (BII), Scottish Licensed Trade Association (SLTA), Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA), Alcohol Focus Scotland and The Scottish Licensed Trade News (SLTN).
