Otherworld Bar & Kitchen

You'll find yourself down on Albert Place in Leith, where Otherworld has set up shop with the kind of no-nonsense approach that makes the neighbourhood tick. The space itself feels lived-in rather than designed—exposed brick, proper lighting, the sort of place where you can actually hear your mates talk. The real draw is watching what they're doing with their own brews; they're not mucking about with gimmicks, just solid, interesting beers that change seasonally. Food-wise, the kitchen knows what it's doing too, putting out proper plates that complement what's in your glass without trying too hard.
