what KDT says
theres hundreds of pubs and a good few clubs in edinburgh.wouldnt really want to recomend anywhere as there all that varied id start of in rose street or george street if staring off in the day time and if the place is shit just have one drink and move on as theres lots of places to go.would take you a week to get round all the pubs at that rate lol.
but sure whereever you go will be cool
