Nicky-Tams Bar & Bothy

You'll find yourself on Baker Street with a pint in hand, surrounded by the kind of warmth that doesn't feel forced. Nicky-Tams has that rare quality of being both comfortable and genuinely good at what it does—think Scottish ingredients treated with respect, not fussiness. The bothy vibe runs through everything here; it's unpretentious without being rough around the edges. Whether you're after something hearty after a walk round the castle or settling in for an evening with mates, the place just works. The food lands properly, the drinks list knows what it's doing, and the room feels lived-in rather than designed.
