The Last Drop in Leith

Ah, The Last Drop – what a gem in the heart of Edinburgh's Grassmarket! I have to say, it's one of those places that really captures the spirit of a traditional Scottish pub, with its rich history and welcoming feel. The food steals the show; I tucked into some proper local delights like the Cullen Skink and Haggis, which were packed with flavour and hit the spot perfectly, alongside other treats like a falafel burger that surprised me with its tastiness. Pair that with a pint or a dram of whisky, and you're in for a treat. The staff are an absolute delight, always quick to serve and full of cheer, and the live music adds such a fun buzz – it's easy to lose track of time. On the flip side, it does get mobbed at times, so you might find yourself jostling for space, and while the quality's there, the portions can feel a bit on the small side for the price tag. All in all, it's a solid choice for a night out if you're up for some genuine Scottish grub and good craic, just pop in early to beat the crowds and keep an eye on your wallet.
