Footlights Bar & Grill is a lively pub and restaurant at 7 Spittal Street in Edinburgh. Its open plan room combines plenty of seating with large screens, making live sport an important part of the atmosphere throughout the week.
The full pub grub menu is built around familiar, substantial choices such as burgers and nachos. Breakfast and later meals give the venue an all day role, whether diners are dropping in before an event or staying for an evening match.
Two interactive darts lanes add another group activity, with food and drinks available directly at the lane. A broad bar selection, outdoor seating and regular entertainment make the venue as useful for social gatherings as for a straightforward pub meal.
Reservations help groups secure space during major sporting fixtures or busy evenings. Guests with allergies, intolerances or dietary requirements should consult the current menu and discuss ingredients and kitchen preparation with staff before ordering.
