Brass Monkey Leith is a lively neighbourhood bar at 362 Leith Walk in Edinburgh. Its relaxed rooms, distinctive character and long drinks selection make it a popular place to settle in, whether the visit is built around a casual meal or an evening with friends.
The kitchen works with a deliberately focused bar menu rather than an oversized list. Meat, vegetarian and vegan choices give mixed groups useful flexibility, while the straightforward format keeps the food well suited to the informal pub setting.
The venue is particularly known for the breadth of its draught offering, with numerous keg and cask lines alongside bottles, spirits and other drinks. That range makes it possible to match a meal with familiar favourites or explore something less expected from the bar.
Service runs daily and the atmosphere is sociable rather than formal. It works well for a spontaneous drink, a relaxed bite or a longer gathering. Guests with allergies or specific dietary needs should ask the team about current ingredients and preparation before ordering.
Address: 362 Leith Walk, Edinburgh EH6 5BR, Scotland
