What a gem The Vaults is for whisky lovers – a welcoming spot with brilliant staff and a historic charm that keeps you coming back.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The whisky selection is absolutely top-notch, with some rare gems that you won't find just anywhere – it's a real treat for any enthusiast.
  • The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and friendly; they'll guide you through the options and make your visit feel personal and educational.
Areas for Improvement
  • The sheer variety of whiskies can feel a bit overwhelming at first, especially if you're not deeply into the scene, which might put off casual visitors.
  • Opening hours vary and the kitchen closes between 4pm and 5pm daily, so you might need to plan around that if you're hoping for a full meal.

Bittersweet Leith is a cracking little cocktail bar in Edinburgh, serving up fabulous Italian-inspired grub and drinks with a welcoming vibe that's sure to hit the spot.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is an absolute delight, with delicious Italian-inspired small plates and true Neapolitan cuisine that feels like a taste of Italy right in Edinburgh.
  • Their cocktails are mind-blowing – think innovative creations like creamy Espresso Martinis and a Negroni flight, all made with in-house fermented goodies from their own distillery.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's closed on Sundays and Mondays, which might cramp your plans if you're looking for a mid-week unwind or a weekend treat.
  • While the sharing plates are generally good, they might not blow your socks off every time, as one chap mentioned they were just 'pretty good' rather than extraordinary.

  • The staff are top-notch, always going the extra mile to make you feel welcome, like chatting with old mates while crafting delicious, personalised cocktails.
Areas for Improvement
  • Service can be hit or miss, as one experience mentioned an unfriendly bartender and some awkward interactions that put a dampener on the evening.
  • There might be the odd off moment with the vibe, like feeling less than welcomed if the crowd or staff aren't in the best form, based on that negative feedback.

Areas for Improvement
  • It doesn't open until around 4pm most days, which might not suit those looking for a spot for lunch or an early afternoon pint.
  • The focus is heavily on drinks rather than food, so if you're after a full meal, you might need to head elsewhere or stick to light bites.

  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, always on hand to recommend a brew or share a story about the latest batch.

Tapa in Leith is a charming spot for authentic Spanish tapas, with delightful food and a welcoming atmosphere that makes for a lovely evening, though it can be a tad expensive.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely delicious, with standout dishes like the ceviche, artichoke, chorizo, and that Basque cheesecake – it's a real treat and captures the essence of Spanish flavours.
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and accommodating, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some dishes can be hit or miss; for instance, one person noted a scallop that was cold and soft, which might point to occasional cooking or quality hiccups.
  • It's a bit on the pricey side at around £40 a head, so it might not feel like the best value if you're after something more budget-friendly.

Areas for Improvement

  • If beer isn't your thing, the focus is still heavily on it, even though they've got wines and spirits; it might not feel as varied for non-beer enthusiasts.

Word Of Mouth Leith is a charming little spot in Edinburgh that's all about cracking food, friendly faces, and a relaxed vibe – ideal for a daytime treat, though it wraps up a bit early.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely top-notch – think delicious croques, perfectly cooked eggs Florentine, and some cracking veggie options that make it a winner for all tastes.
  • Staff are so friendly and efficient; they really make you feel right at home, even when things get busy.
Areas for Improvement
  • The hours are a bit on the early side, closing up at 4 PM, so it's not the place for a late-night pint or evening wind-down.
  • One or two folks mentioned the Scottish breakfast isn't quite the best they've had, though it's still pretty good overall.

  • The staff are so friendly and knowledgeable – they'll chat about the drinks and even let you taste a few to find your favourite.
Areas for Improvement

Malones Leith is a welcoming Irish pub in Edinburgh that's all about great vibes, live entertainment, and tasty food – a real gem for a relaxed night out.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and always up for a good chat, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
  • They've got a cracking selection of drinks, including what many say is one of the best pints of Guinness in Edinburgh, plus loads of Irish whiskies and other options to suit all tastes.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get a bit quiet at times, especially if everyone's flocked to the town centre, so it might not always feel buzzing if you're after a packed house.
  • As it's loosely themed around Ireland, some might find it a tad generic compared to a more authentic spot, though that's just a minor quibble.

  • The staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable; they've got that personal touch, like giving great local recommendations or chatting about their craft.
Areas for Improvement
  • It seems geared towards evenings from 4pm onwards, so it's not ideal if you're after a daytime pint or a quick lunch.
  • With it being a cocktail bar, prices might add up if you're not careful – it's more of a treat than an everyday stop.

The King's Wark is a welcoming Edinburgh pub with top-notch service and some cracking dishes, but it's not without its off moments, especially with certain mains.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The service here is absolutely brilliant – staff are quick, friendly, and really go the extra mile to handle dietary needs, like for coeliacs, making you feel right at home.
  • Some dishes are spot on, like the French onion soup and mussels, which are packed with flavour and offer great value if you're watching your budget.
Areas for Improvement
  • The fish and chips can be a letdown – portions are skimpy with more batter than actual fish, and the chips don't live up to pub standards, more like frozen shop-bought ones.
  • A few dishes, such as the mussels or fish, come across as mediocre or overly heavy on oil and breading, missing that extra punch of flavour.

What a great find. Traditional, independent pub, in a great quirky building. Topped off with friendly local staff, and a great pint. (I'll try the pizza the next time ) Thank you.

Areas for Improvement
  • Service can be a bit hit or miss, with some reports of staff being inattentive or a tad rude, which puts a damper on things
  • It might feel a bit cramped at times, especially if you're after a more spacious vibe

The Mother Superior is a gem of a bar in Edinburgh, offering brilliant food, warm service, and a buzzing atmosphere that makes it well worth a visit for a relaxed pint or a special night out.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food here is an absolute delight – think buttery, perfectly seasoned potatoes and chicken schnitzel that's stuck in my mind for weeks, making it a real treat for a good meal.
  • Service is spot on; the staff are friendly, professional, and full of craic, like that barmaid who picked out a brilliant dram and even spoiled the dog with treats.
Areas for Improvement
  • It seems like not everyone has tried the food yet, so if you're specifically after a full dining experience, you might want to check that out first based on what's shared.
  • The online presence is a bit basic, just a Facebook page, which means you might not find loads of info before you visit.

Abode Café Bar is a charming Edinburgh gem that's all about relaxed vibes, top-notch local drinks, and friendly service – ideal for a casual catch-up over a pint or wine.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The drinks selection is absolutely brilliant, with a fantastic range of local craft beers from Barney's and Campervan, plus exciting wines and even some quirky cocktails to make your visit feel special.
  • The staff are so warm and attentive, always making you feel right at home with their friendly chats and quick service – it's like catching up with old mates.
Areas for Improvement
  • The food options are pretty limited, just nibbles like cakes and charcuterie boards since there's no proper kitchen, so if you're after a hearty meal, you might need to head elsewhere.
  • It can get quite busy in this snug little space, so you might have to book ahead to snag a table and avoid disappointment, especially on popular evenings.

  • There's a bit of confusion with the name and branding – some folks call it The Percy, and it might take a second to figure out the bar and restaurant setup.
  • They do ask for ID sometimes, which is fair but can feel like a small hassle if you're not expecting it.

Areas for Improvement

Typically the last or main stop for match days.. mobbed on match days pre kick off. Corona, heinkan on taps with mixers and spirits.. Good staff, they do well to round everyone
Edinburger Ben
On match days it's marvellously mobbed, but it's so good on any day. Superb service and the pint never touched the sides and that is what good pubs are about. It wasn't a match day so I bought another...

Mimi's Bakehouse is a delightful Edinburgh spot for tasty bakes and relaxed afternoon teas, though it's not without the odd service hiccup that might slow things down.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The cakes and afternoon teas are simply scrumptious – perfect for a cosy catch-up with mates over fresh scones and indulgent treats.
  • The staff are generally warm and attentive, especially when helping with dietary needs like vegan or gluten-free options, making it feel welcoming for everyone.
Areas for Improvement
  • Service can be a bit slow at times, like waiting ages for drinks or afternoon tea to arrive, which might put a dampener on your visit if you're in a hurry.
  • They sometimes run out of basics and make substitutions without mentioning it upfront, which can leave you feeling a tad disappointed with your order.

The Central Bar

4.3(331 reviews)
86/100
The Central Bar is a buzzing, traditional Edinburgh pub with a lively vibe, great tunes, and affordable drinks, ideal for a fun evening, though it might not suit those seeking peace or specific accessibility needs.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The lively atmosphere with cracking 80s and 90s music really gets the crowd going and makes for a fun night out.
  • It's got that unbeatable value for money, so you can enjoy a few drinks without worrying about the wallet.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get a tad too loud at times, which might put off anyone after a more relaxed chat.
  • Not the spot for a quiet meal or some downtime – it's all about the buzz, so it might feel overwhelming if that's not your thing.

Swanny's Bar in Leith is a proper little gem of a pub, full of friendly faces, great banter, and affordable drinks – ideal for a relaxed catch-up with mates.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The welcoming atmosphere once you get settled in – it's like becoming part of the family right away.
  • Owner John and the regulars provide brilliant banter and a right good laugh, making every visit feel lively.
Areas for Improvement

Wilkies Bar & Lounge in Leith is a lovely, no-fuss traditional pub with warm staff and a welcoming atmosphere – ideal for a casual pint and a chat.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
  • It's got that authentic, traditional pub vibe with unspoilt fittings and a history dating back to the early 1900s, which is just charming.
Areas for Improvement
  • Their online presence seems a bit lacking, with a website that's hard to access, so it might not be the easiest to check out before visiting.
  • The operating hours listed are a tad confusing, which could leave you guessing if it's open late or not, though it's generally open daily.

Tamsons Bar in Leith is a lively little spot with a cracking atmosphere for football fans and karaoke lovers, offering good value drinks, though it has its rough edges.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is spot on, especially for match days with that community spirit and good banter that makes you feel right at home.
  • Karaoke nights on Fridays and Saturdays are a blast, with a cracking jukebox and sing-alongs that get everyone involved.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get a bit rowdy with shouting and swearing from the regulars, which might put some off if you're after a quiet drink.
  • The soft drinks on draught don't have much taste, so it's not ideal if you're not up for alcohol.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and always up for a good chat, making every visit feel warm and welcoming.
  • The food is absolutely spot on – think hearty Sunday roasts, tasty haggis bon bons, and generous portions that leave you satisfied.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, which can be a bit of a nuisance if you're hoping for a mid-week pint.
  • The operating hours listed online seem a tad confusing with multiple entries, so it's worth double-checking to avoid disappointment.

The Marksman is a friendly local pub in Leith with a warm community feel, though it's let down by noisy music and outdated surroundings.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful – they'll go out of their way to assist, like returning a lost wallet with everything intact.
  • It's a welcoming community spot, especially for chatting with locals and artists, giving it that cosy, neighbourhood vibe.
Areas for Improvement
  • The jukebox music can be overwhelmingly loud, making it tough to have a proper chat or enjoy a quiet pint.
  • The place feels a bit dated and could do with a freshen-up; it's not the most inviting decor-wise.

Oceana's a straightforward Edinburgh local with warm welcomes and affordable drinks, but it's got a few rough patches that keep it from being perfect.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The locals are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making it feel like a proper community spot where you can chat and feel at home.
  • Prices are spot on for the area, so you can enjoy a pint without worrying about it costing an arm and a leg.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get a bit whiffy, as some have noted, which might put you off if you're sensitive to smells.
  • The bar staff turnover is quite high, so you might not get that consistent service or get to know the team well.

The Spey Lounge is a cosy Edinburgh local with bags of character and loyal fans, but it's a bit hit-and-miss with safety and upkeep that might leave you wanting more.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • It's got that authentic local pub charm, full of character and a real sense of history that draws in the regulars.
  • Some folks absolutely rave about it as their go-to spot, with one chap calling it a 'bohemian institute' that's just brimming with spirit.
Areas for Improvement
  • There have been some unsettling reports of harassment and unsafe vibes, which really puts a damper on things and makes you think twice about recommending it.
  • Hygiene can be a problem, like dodgy toilets that haven't been looked after properly, as shared in a few grim experiences.
