While you may know Granary for its live music sessions and enticing Sunday roasts, it's also one of the best cocktail bars in Leith. Boasting panelled walls, leather booths and pendant lights, it's the perfect place to sink Scottish craft beer, as well as wine and heady signature cocktails.
Toting 16 craft beer taps and scrumptious Scottish scran to boot, Innis & Gunn is certainly one of the best Leith pubs with food. Pop along to the cool, contemporary watering hole to tip back bevvies from local and global breweries, whether in the form of pints, flights or tastings.
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.
Though favoured among vegans for its totally plant-based menu, Harmonium is also a popular spot for relaxed liquid libations. From the extensive menu of refreshing beers and wines to the kooky collection of cocktails, there's plenty to wet your whistle when you're feeling thirsty.
