Port O' Leith

Ah, Port O' Leith – it's one of those pubs that really captures the heart of Leith, with its laid-back charm and that genuine local buzz that makes you feel right at home. From what I've gathered from the reviews, it's got this fantastic atmosphere where you can relax with a few beers, enjoy some top-notch music, and chat with the friendly staff who go out of their way to keep everyone happy. I love how it's open every evening until the wee hours, giving you plenty of time to settle in after a day out. On the flip side, though, there are a couple of things that might put you off – like the odd drama from the owner that can sour the mood, or the music cranked up a bit too high, which means you might end up shouting over your mates just to catch up. And let's not forget, it can get a tad stretched with staffing, so you might wait a minute or two for your round. Overall, it's a solid spot for a good night out, but it's got that rough-around-the-edges appeal that keeps it real – I'd say give it a go if you're after an authentic Edinburgh experience, just keep your expectations balanced for the best time.
