The 20 Best Pubs near Leith, Edinburgh

Fresh reviews:

Compass Bar is a well sited bar and restaurant, occupying the corner of Constitution and Queen Charlotte streets in Leith. When I first arrived in Edinburgh on holiday, it was highly recommended by locals. Honestly at night it looks a bit of a dive bar from the outside, so Brittany A. and I weren’t sure what to…

This place was a bit unexpected in my little mini pub crawl of Leith, and actually became one of my fast favourites of all the great drinking establishments in the bustling town just outside of Edinburgh.This review is actually quite difficult to write as the reasons why I love it are actually quite difficult…

Alan Breck Lounge

Oh dear. We arranged to meet friends on a Friday night, well prepared to have the usual full to the brim, no seats Wetherspoons we all love to hate. The total polar opposite was true, it was so quiet I could swing at least 30 cats end to end around*.The atmosphere sucked.I think the music sucked (I can’t even…
