Roseleaf
Pubs

Roseleaf is a quirky little pub by the historic port of Leith, with tasty brunch options, mad hatter (and boozy) tea parties and a lengthy and extensive drink menu. It might be a bit off the beaten path, but well worth the detour. Plus you get to pass the picturesque Leith Shore on the way. Book your table in advance to avoid disappointment!

Wondering why the picture above? Bramble Bar is probably the most hidden bar of the city, hidden beneath a dry cleaner in a basement. At first it might seem a bit dodgy to take the stairs to a dark New Town basement. Once you are through the door, you will find yourself in a cave-like cosy bar with an extensive drink list.

The history of this little art cinema dates back as far as 1914. Cameo has almost all of its original decor intact, and the Edwardian splendour gives the place a special character. Enjoy the movies, and visit the Cameo bar for a pre-movie bite or a post-movie drink.

It's a truly historic pub, open since 1871. Try not to lose your confidence reading the sign outside the pub: 'no smoking. no credit cards. no mobile phones. no cameras. no backpackers'. Indeed there is strict door selection, but if you get in (as I did), you can expect a truly unique experience. Dress smart casual.

Don't be fooled by the name and don't look for a skyscraper. There are no tall buildings in this city, that would ruin Edinburgh Old Town's world heritage view. Instead, you will get access to the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel's top floor bar with stunning night views of Edinburgh castle. Fingers crossed for clear sky!

Visit if you love gin - in case you don't, you won't stay thirsty either. Besides the impressive selection of 70 gins from all over the world, they also have a range of wines, beers and coctails. Note that mixologists matched every gin with a specific tonic water, so you can also test the waiters' memory.
