Review: The King’s Wark, a gastropub in Leith

Serving high-quality gastropub fare, The Ox on Broughton Street is a popular and busy spot renowned for its excellent service and cosy vibe.

Review: Crybaby, a Jukebox and Chicken Wing Pub in Stockbridge

September 16, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Escape the main drag in Stockbridge at Crybaby, a friendly bar serving thousands of chicken wings and Smashburgers. With a jukebox controlling the screens and a “no crybabies” attitude, it’s a refreshingly different and affordable spot.

Review: The Finch, a pub on Bath Road

August 28, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The Finch has successfully transformed a challenging Leith location into a destination pub. With its focus on high-quality craft beer, a wonderfully bright and chic interior, and a stunning beer garden, it’s a “hidden gem” that is rightly becoming one of the area’s most popular spots.

Nearby alternatives to The Elbe Room include the beer garden pub The Bullfinch, BAM Coffee, and Brambles on Salamander Place. I’ve been cautious about writing this review for fear of creating a jinx. The Elbe […]

The first time I found The Other Place I didn’t go in. I knew I had found a pub worth checking out but it was so busy inside I doubted we’d get a seat. The second time I found myself at the door to The Other Place, once known as The Stags Head, I was […]
