Newbarns Brewery and Taproom

You're in Leith now, wandering down Jane Street towards something that actually feels like a working brewery rather than a gastropub pretending to be one. Newbarns does the whole thing in-house — the brewing, the serving, the lot — and there's something satisfying about that commitment. The taproom itself is unpretentious; you'll find locals propping up the bar alongside people who've specifically sought the place out, all united by decent beer and actual knowledge from the folk behind the counter. It's the kind of place where you can ask what's on and get a proper answer rather than marketing spiel.
