About This Pub
Ah, Satyr – it's one of those places that just hits the mark for a proper night out in Edinburgh. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the cocktails are a real highlight; folks are going on about how the bartenders whip up amazing drinks with real flair, and even the mocktails get a thumbs-up for being spot-on. The staff sound like absolute gems, always up for a chat and dishing out top tips on what to do in the area – it's that kind of welcoming feel that makes you feel right at home. The atmosphere is another winner; imagine dim lights, cosy corners, and a romantic touch that suits everything from a date night to catching up with mates. They've got craft beers and wines from small producers, paired with tasty meat and cheese boards, so it's not just about the drinks. On the flip side, it's more of an evening affair starting from 4pm, which might not suit if you're after something earlier, and it could get a bit pricey for regular visits. Plus, with a smaller menu, it might not hit the spot if you're hungry for a full meal. All in all, it's a solid choice for anyone wanting a relaxed, enjoyable time – I'd say give it a go if you're in Leith, but keep in mind it's best for those special occasions rather than a casual drop-in.

Cons
-
It seems geared towards evenings from 4pm onwards, so it's not ideal if you're after a daytime pint or a quick lunch.
-

We popped in ahead of a show at the Leith Arches and they were fab. Fantastic bartender, made amazing cocktails and mocktails. Highly recommend, will be back.
Leith Satyr is a splendid pub which is deffo one of my wee pit stops. Lovely people with expert drinks mixology going on. Keep up the good work chaps!
Low key, tranquilo pub with great cocktails and friendly staff. Josh was kind enough to give us excellent Edinburgh recommendations.
Fantastic place - the staff are lovely, the atmosphere is always great and they make some really tasty cocktails (pictured is the French 75), the wine & beer selections are good too. I love it here!
Great new cocktail bar on Leith Walk in the place of Woodland Creatures.
Cozy and romantic atmosphere with dark blue walls, soft lighting, and candles on tables.
The staff are friendly, attentive, and incredibly knowledgable about their craft (including ice cubes!)
The menu has a small but perfectly formed selection of cocktails that will please most tastes, with many twists on the classics. The staff are more than happy to go off menu if you wish!
There’s also a selection of charcuterie and cheeses which are all top notch.
Delightful addition to Leith Walk as the area becomes more and more of a destination for great food, great drinks, and fun times.
