The False Widow in Leith

Ah, The False Widow – what a lovely find in the heart of Leith! From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, this place really shines with its cocktail menu; it's got that perfect mix of creativity and quality, and at moderate prices, you won't break the bank for a great drink. The staff stand out too – they're so approachable and eager to make your visit special, whether it's recommending a new favourite or explaining what goes into your glass. The atmosphere is just spot on for a chilled evening; it's cosy without being overwhelming, with music that's more of a gentle backdrop than a distraction, making it ideal for catching up with mates. On the downside, their online setup is pretty basic, just an Instagram page, so you might not find all the details you need at a glance, and being a smaller bar, it could get a bit snug on busier evenings. All in all, it's a rising star in Edinburgh that's worth seeking out for a memorable night out, especially if you're after good value and genuine warmth.
