Review: The Rusty Seagull – A Pub on Portobello High Street
A fantastic, if noisy, addition to Portobello. The Rusty Seagull shines with a great atmosphere and a commitment to local beer. Expect separate queues for food and drink, but the quality of the burgers and the dog-friendly vibe make it worth the visit.
Review: 3 Old Monks – A Leith Pub Resurrected
A welcome return to form for Commercial Street. 3 Old Monks mixes sports bar utilities with gastro-pub quality. Friendly staff, cheap pints, and a “Chamber of Secrets” function room make it a winner. The food is the real star here.

Review: Down the Hatch, a Canadian restaurant in the city centre
Down the Hatch brings a Canadian feast to Antigua Street. This “Tardis” of a restaurant is huge inside, family-friendly, and serves some of Edinburgh’s best burgers. Great for pre-theatre meals, though booking as a solo diner can be tricky.
Review: Copper Blossom, a cocktail bar on George Street
Copper Blossom is a floral wonderland on George Street. With stunning decor and the viral Nickin’ Nolan cocktail supporting Cash For Kids, it is a must-visit. The steak and eggs are a highlight, though portions are refined. Highly recommended.
