The Bonnington Bar is a friendly neighbourhood pub at 284 Bonnington Road in Leith. Its warm, relaxed atmosphere gives local residents and visitors an informal place to meet for a meal, enjoy a drink or settle in for an easy catch up.

Food is an important part of the pub rather than an occasional extra, with a kitchen serving into the evening on trading days. The format is well suited to uncomplicated pub dining, whether guests want a complete meal or something to accompany drinks.

Quality drinks complement the food and help the venue work equally well as a local bar. Table reservations are available, giving diners the option to plan ahead while preserving the accessible character of a neighbourhood pub.

The Bonnington trades from Wednesday to Sunday, with lunchtime opening on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Kitchen and bar hours differ, so diners planning a later visit should check the current schedule. Guests with allergies should discuss ingredients and shared preparation areas with the team before ordering.
