Roseleaf
Cute and quaint, the Roseleaf could hardly be further from the average Leith bar. It's
decked out in flowered wallpaper, old furniture and rose-patterned china (cocktails are
served in teapots); the real ales and bottled beers are complemented by a range of speciality
teas, coffees and fruit drinks (including rose lemonade) and above-average pub grub
(served 10am to 10pm).

Teuchters Landing
PUB
The award-winning bar at A Room in Leith restaurant (see 10 , C2) is famed for its
range of real ales (no fewer than 18 on tap) and malt whiskies (more than 90 varieties)
which you can enjoy at outdoor tables on a floating terrace in the dock.

Sofi's
BAR
Sofi's brings a little bit of Swedish sophistication to this former Leith pub, feeling more
like a bohemian cafe with its mismatched furniture, candlelit tables, fresh flowers and col-
ourful art. It's a real community place too, hosting film screenings, book clubs, open-mic
music nights, and even a knitting club.

Port O'Leith
This is a good, old-fashioned, friendly local boozer, swathed with flags and cap bands left
behind by visiting sailors - Leith docks are just down the road. Pop in for a pint and you'll
probably stay until closing time.
