Brass Monkey Leith - Edinburgh Pubs - The Skinny

Review analysis
drinks   food  

The Brass Monkey, long a favourite haunt of Edinburgh's old town, has spawned a new outpost on Leith Walk just past Pilrig Church.

It's got the same feel as the old Brass Monkey – laid back, good sounds, lots of film posters – but with more beer, more spirits, and more space.

After a snuggly success with its Southside branch, in 2011 Brass Monkey spawned a new outpost on Leith Walk, just past Prilig Church.

Of course, sibling rivalry simply isn't necessary; the branches of the Brass Monkey empire are nicely spaced out, topping and tailing Edinburgh in a way that brings cosy pint-supping to locals and tourists all over town.

In 2015, Brass Monkey was among the victors of the category of Best Pub, along with The Belle, The Hanging Bat, Hillhead Bookclub, Inn Deep, Nobles and The Vintage.

Review analysis
food  

In many ways, the Leith branch of Brass Monkey has all the ingredients required to be a new-and-improved version of the popular Drummond Street movie bar.

High-colour classic movie posters almost wallpaper the room.

Like the Southside incarnation, classic films are screened every day but the space in Leith seems bigger and better with proper couches in place of the slouchy movie room across the city.

The kitchen’s bigger too, allowing for a more thorough menu to be offered up, and there’s a nod to the American movie in the offerings (pizzas, hot dogs, nachos).

Something of the cosy atmosphere on offer at Drummond Street seems a little lost, however, in the bigger surroundings.

• 29-35 Niddry Street, 0131-558 8209, thebansheelabyrinth.com This new, 12-tap craft beer bar and bottle shop has “a stupidly good range of local stuff and incredible imports”, according to Patrick Jones of Leith’s Pilot Brewery.

• 10 Lady Lawson Street, 0131-221 1222, timberyard.co It sounds an improbable mix – Spanish, South African and Scottish tapas – but Elaine Mason, co-owner of soup bar Union Of Genius, insists Indaba is a keeper.

• 56 Broughton Street, 0131-557 1600, lescargotbleu.co.uk If you’re looking for street food in Edinburgh, check the Pitt market in Leith or Stockbridge Market and its various spin-offs (tips: Harajuku Kitchen, Alplings, Babu Bombay, Orinoco).

• 26 Hamilton Place, 0131-629 6280, smithandgertrude.com This artist-run studio and exhibition/performance space is one of Edinburgh’s most interesting hidden gems, according to Julie-Ann Delaney, curator at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art.

• 25 Arthur Street, rhubaba.org A non-profit, volunteer-run, vegetarian arts cafe, Forest has bounced around Edinburgh for 16 years, defying the odds and acting as a quirky gallery/ installation space hosting anything from Tibetan song sessions to political film nights.
