Don't look for monks in this converted parsonage. Cloisters is today a popular local pub with a great selection of local beers and whiskies, and a homely wooden interior. There are regularly changing 'guest' ales on the drink menu, some of them you can't get anywhere else in town.

Roseleaf

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!

The Canny Man's

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.

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.

Dark and dirty, the bar does different nights for industrial/ metal/ rock karaoke, and the music ranges from heavy metal bands from between the early 80s up to 2000s - thus you are in for a bit of a nostalgia trip.

If you want that raw, authentic experience and good beer, this is your place to go. It can be anything from half empty and quiet in some evenings to packed and buzzing in others. On a warm day you can join a crowd of locals with their golden retrievers hanging around old whisky barrels just outside the pub and drink your pint in the sun.
