56 North

56 North is well known for specializing in the increasingly popular 'mothers' ruin'. This is a style-bar-with-kitchen that offers gin masterclasses, has a list of the spirit that runs to several pages, and even opens its car park as a gin garden in August, in association with Tanqueray. You can even select from a dozen tonics or mixers and 14 separate garnishes.

Aside from the gin, the food is above average for a pub, with superb steaks and gourmet burgers on the menu. The latter is available in 8oz Scottish steak mince burgers, as well as chicken or veggie burgers in a variety of styles. There's a Stornoway (with apple compote, black pudding, and haggis), a Classic (with cheddar, chutney, and pickle), and a fairly intense but tempting Derby (with blue cheese, jalapeno, and smoky bacon).
