LewisEDI Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 roll down the pavement to the door of Pivo, where you can carry on drinking until 3am. the only place in edinburgh you can get in to after 1am steaming, dump of a place mind you but always busy and pretty cheap considering the 3am license Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastiebeastie Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Mash Tun the best bet close to ground. Plenty good boozers doon "The Shore" also but a wee 20 min walk to ground. Cameo, Carriers, Constitution and of course Edinburghs no 1 alternative tourist attraction = The Port o Leith ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snapperone Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Is Leith no supposed to be where all the hookers hang out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairbairn Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Is Leith no supposed to be where all the hookers hang out? No that's Murrayfield. I'm here all week, don't forget to tip your waitress! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewisEDI Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Is Leith no supposed to be where all the hookers hang out? Leith is a large part of edinburgh, probably has about 50k people living in it, there are probably still hookers down on salamander street at night and that is about it, its certainly nothing like Aberdeen harbour, sorry ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulS2014 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Speaking as someone who used to stay in Leith for six years until recently would say the following: Persevere - Avoid like the plague. Can't believe someone recommended to go here! Full of Leith neds and serious dodgers, have even seen doorman on in the daytime when it is sunny and the zoomers come out drinking. Harp and Castle - Great pub and certainly not full of dodgers, seriously some very random posts on this thread! Has a pool table, pub scran and Sky Sports along with decent staff and dodgy karaoke on later in the evening. Robbies - Alright enough but a bit like sitting in your gran's living room such is the old décor and smell of stale pish from old people. Black Bull - Cracking boozer and well worth a visit. Mash Tun - Best out the lot, great real ales, brilliant food and friendly service. For those of you who want to experience real local Leith boozers I would recommend Central Bar at the bottom of Leith Walk, Spey Lounge, Port O' Leith, Tam O' Shanters, The Duke's Head and The Marksman. The last one it's not uncommon to find people lying outside jaked by 10am. I've lived in a lot of places and Leith really is a character place and somewhere you have to experience for a drink. Just don't be surprised to be offered a leg of lamb, some deodorant, packets of steak or aftershave whilst drinking in some of the more local establishments. It's certainly much better than s*itholes like Gorgie that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add some more value to my flat ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
