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!

This place was something else, in all the places I visited in Lothian, this place was by bar the best. Great vibes, welcoming atmosphere, kind staff & great beer & prices. Highly recommend, especially if you like cask!
This bar must have one of the best choices of cask and craft beers in Lothian all at reasonable prices. Friendly, informative service throughout the visit. A real pleasure to drink here.

Dog friendly :3
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.
