About This Pub

Oh, let me tell you about The Strathmore Bar – it's one of those hidden gems in Leith that just warms your heart from the moment you step inside. From the reviews, it's clear folks absolutely love the staff; they're described as super kind and welcoming, like Charlie or Connie who go the extra mile to make your day. You've got a great range of drinks on offer, from classic whiskies to tasty rums, and it's all at inexpensive prices, so it's ideal for a casual catch-up without breaking the bank. The overall rating's a solid 4.5, with most recent feedback being top marks, which really speaks to that community feel where you can relax and feel like part of the gang. On the flip side, it's a shame there's no website to look up more info beforehand, and the operating hours do look a bit muddled in places, so you might want to double-check before planning an evening out. All in all, if you're in Edinburgh and after a proper local pub with a welcoming buzz, this one's worth seeking out – just pop in and see for yourself!

Cons

It's a cute and budget friendly bar in Leith, I had once again bunnahabhain 12 , smoky me . They have classic collection of whisky and run , not to miss They had OVO rum the real yum and our bartender was so fun and sassy, I loved her in first , she was sweet and classic just like the bar. A must try place if you fancy whisky. They had extra black from campervan which I found exclusively amazing
