Jackson the Tailor

Speakeasy-style bar hidden behind a tailor's shop on Leith Street, serving craft cocktails in a dimly-lit, intimate setting.

You'll walk past the tailor's storefront on Leith Street—easy to miss if you're not paying attention—then slip through into a different world entirely. The bar trades in proper cocktails made by people who actually know what they're doing, not the sweet nonsense you get in half the city centre. It's got that underground feel without being try-hard about it: low lighting, close quarters, the sort of place where conversations naturally turn intimate because there's nowhere else to go. Perfect for when you want a drink that requires actual thought.
