About This Pub

Oh, mate, let me tell you about Dreadnought Leith – it's one of those pubs that just hits the spot every time. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the beer selection is absolutely top-notch; they've got this amazing range of cask and craft options that won't break the bank, which is a real winner if you're partial to a good pint. The staff are dead lovely too, always up for a chat and making sure everyone feels welcome, no matter who you are. I love how they've turned that whole Pride thing into something positive, with events and fundraising that show real heart – it's inclusive for all, which is just how it should be. The decor's fun and quirky, and little touches like being dog-friendly and having gender-neutral facilities make it feel modern and thoughtful. On the flip side, it's tucked away in a quieter part of Leith, so if you're after something in the thick of the action, you might find it a tad out of the way. Plus, the opening times can be a bit unpredictable, so you'd want to double-check before heading over. All in all, it's a gem of a place that does inclusion and great drinks so well – I'd say give it a go if you're in the area, you won't regret it!

Unassuming gay pub in a quiet neighborhood. Fantastic selection of craft beer from all over, funky decor, interesting and unique spirits, and really friendly staff who made it a very welcoming place to be for 3 out of town lesbians.

Brilliant pub with a fantastic selection of beers on tap. The service is always friendly, I love the decor and it’s inclusive and welcoming to all. On my last visit the other day I also got to sit outside which was great.
