The Penny Black

You'll find The Penny Black tucked away on Leith Street, that stretch between the city centre and Leith where locals outnumber tourists. It's the kind of place where the staff remember your order and the regulars have their spots at the bar—no pretence, no gimmicks, just a well-run pub that knows what it's doing. The atmosphere shifts depending on when you visit: quiet enough for an afternoon pint and a paper, but with enough life in the evenings to justify staying longer than you planned.
