Brass Monkey Leith

Ah, Brass Monkey Leith – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper local haunt, you know? From what I've gathered chatting about it with others, the staff really make the place; they're dead friendly and go out of their way to accommodate groups or special events, which is brilliant if you're planning a birthday bash or just popping in for a quiz night. The drinks selection is spot on too, with a great range of beers and ales that cater to all tastes, and it's lovely to see them supporting local breweries. On the food front, it's straightforward bar grub that's pretty tasty, though it might not wow you with endless options – still, there's something for everyone, whether you're a meat lover or going plant-based. That said, it's not without its quirks; the menu's a tad small, and if you're not keen on ordering at the bar, it could feel a bit informal. Overall, though, it's a solid choice for a relaxed night out in Leith – you'd be hard-pressed not to have a good time, especially with that welcoming vibe that keeps people coming back.
