The Volley

Walk into The Volley and you'll immediately clock why it's got regulars wedged along the bar most nights. This is Leith Walk doing what it does best—unpretentious, friendly, genuinely good at what it does. You're looking at a bar that takes its cocktails seriously without the eye-rolling ceremony, with staff who actually know what they're doing and aren't too cool to chat. The sort of place where you can rock up solo and leave with new mates, or settle into a booth with your crew and lose track of time. It's got that rare quality of feeling both polished and relaxed at once.
