In short: Really greasy, rustic pub - large selection of beers and other alcoholic beverages, totally friendly, helpful service. A great mix of guests, young and old, jeans and jackets, great atmosphere. Very fun and not a tourist trap.

Visited here with friends during the Jazz and Blues Festival. Great night soaking up the atmosphere and catching the tunes. Pub was busy, busy and staff were so friendly and helpful despite the pressures. Clearly a popular venue in the neighbourhood with great views o er the Water of Leith especially on a warm, sunny evening.

Poor welcome. Told we couldn't sit at the bar as it was reserved.... What pub pub reserves the bar area? Then to be told another free area of the bar was order only so wasn't allowed to sit there either. That aside, the lassie behind the bar was rude! Our pints tasted like the smell of wet dog. If the lassie wasn't so rude we would have said so we just left.

Both times I've been in here I have felt like I've been judged for being a woman. But as soon as I order a pint of beer it goes away, it's as if being a woman in here is less than but ordering beer makes up for it? The pints are quite expensive for what it is but the pub itself is cosy. The staff are very focused on catering for men, and don't really care about their female customers. Not sure if I'll come back. Don't know if they serve food.

Very bad experience. The waiter who told us he was the manager was very rude to us. I don't know if he was having a bad day, his ego or what he was thinking but you can't treat people like that. I tried to talk to him because I didn't understand how a person could behave like that at work and he told me that if I didn't understand him it was my problem (saying that my English was bad). He seemed like a customer who was upset because another customer was ignoring him… a very unpleasant and uncomfortable situation. We will not return and I do not recommend it.

The Malt and Hops is a traditional cozy, friendly pub on the shore at Leith. Inside is unusual with bunches of hops and old mugs/whisky jugs hanging from the ceiling. The walls are adorned with old mirrored beer adverts and other interesting pub/drink memorabilia. There's also a real fire which was great to stand near to on a cold day in December.  If you visit in the summer there are tables outside with views of the Water of Leith. Great selection of beers and whiskies. Service was excellent and friendly with the lone barman coping well when about 20 of us arrived. 👍😀 Definitely recommended.

And a good vibes only. Sort your staff out it’s embarrassing. Don’t do here if you don’t want fun and laughter. Honestly never seen such bad vibes in leith in my life.

We found this pub by chance as we had seen the lights from across the water. What a great find it was. We decided to eat there on our first night in Leith - and returned for every night we were there. The menu is varied and portions are plentiful. I would recommend the ploughman's board and the cheese board, as well as the fish an chips. Service is quick and the food always arrived piping hot. There is a fantastic variety of drinks on offer, from locally brewed beer and local gin, to an extensive range of whisky. Bar staff were helpful and knowledgeable, going the extra mile to find out about ingredients for us, and giving small tastes to assist choosing drinks. Would we return? We did - for 3 nights running!

We had booked the brunch with santa but it had been cancelled. They actually didnt tell us it had been cancelled i had called to confirm the booking a couple days before. This is after taking full payment at the time of booking. If we hadnt called to confirm we would have arrived with some very dissappointed kids. Incredibly poor service. they just sent an email after the call for an alternative venue.

I wanted to love this Indian street food spot, it had a cool vibe, smelled great, laid back and great soundtrack. But the food was tasteless. First, while they promote the Bombay sapphire gin, they simply won’t make their also advertised gin martini out of it, even for an up-charge. I rolled and took their version which was a citrusy lime affair, when everyone who matters knows gin martinis are meant to be served dirty and with olives. Maybe that’s the New York girl in me, but moving on, the Papadam had not an ounce of cumin, seed or powder, just puffed dough. Similarly, the Haka noodles were mush and honestly tasted like nothing except maybe vinegar. Maybe the mains are better, but I’d try your luck elsewhere. My 3 purchased items are all going back mostly untouched.

At first glance, we thought this would be just a basic breakfast buffet, however it is supplemented nicely with various menu items. Food was fine, and I might have given three stars, except that our server Nick made me the most incredible cappuccino with almond milk. He also had good suggestions for what to order. Truly exceptional service and I am bumping it up to four stars. Excellent almond milk cappuccino. Thank you Nick!
