The Marksman

Proper Leith local where the pints flow and the chat's even better. No nonsense, just good craic.

You'll find yourself on Duke Street in Leith, walking into the kind of pub that doesn't need to try too hard. The Marksman is the real deal—wooden bar, genuine regulars, and a warmth that comes from actually knowing your customers rather than nailing an aesthetic. It's the sort of place where locals genuinely gather, whether you're stopping by after work or settling in for the evening. The vibe is unpretentious and lived-in, exactly what Leith does best.
