Brass Monkey Leith

After a snuggly success with its Southside branch, in 2011 Brass Monkey spawned a new outpost on Leith Walk, just past Prilig Church. With its cloud-like rooms of couches, loyalty to a good wall of movie posters and strong live music game, it definitely lives up to its older sibling on Drummond Street.

It also seems Brass Monkey Leith is out to prove that it's more than just a little brother bar. Firstly, there's more beer. Lashings and lashings of the golden nectar. Also, on that note, there are more spirits too. And, without meaning to suggest that Drummond Street is at all pokey, let's just say that Leith has a little more room to stretch the legs too. What's more, the kitchen is bigger, meaning it can serve up a greater selection of pub grub (and an impressive vegetarian menu).
