Review of The Leith Beer Co, The Shore

May 30, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood 8 Comments

The Leith Beer Co is the next evolution of the old Waterline on The Shore. This review was written for The Leith Beer Company’s first ever lunch service. The newly refurbished bar opened at 5pm on Tuesday the 29th of May 2012 and this reviewer popped in for a lunch date. First thing’s first – […]

A review in two halves is necessary for Printworks […]

The 2012 Olympic Torch is coming to Edinburgh.

The Olympic Torch reaches Edinburgh on the 13th of June. That’s the day to expect TV cameras and all […]
