The Lioness of Leith

Taking Bookings

Voted the Best Bar in Leith in their very first year of trading, The Lioness of Leith is a friendly boozer boating great quality food and drink. The rustic space has transformed a once derelict pub that had a dark history to it, now featuring traditional wooden furnishings and dark brick walls.

Sip local and international pints, paired with gourmet eats from Burger Mama. Using local, seasonal ingredients where possible, these guys are whipping up everything from Scottish beef patties covered in crispy onions and spicy mac'n'cheese to sweet chimichurri halloumi burgers.

The Mother Superior

If you're on the hunt for bars on Leith Walk, this industrial-chic haunt is a fabulous choice. The Mother Superior is home to a whopping 800 bottles of whisky, with fabulous monthly offers available too. But if that's not your thing, check out the beers, cocktails and Louisiana soul food.
