The Bullfinch

The Bullfinch is one of my favourite pubs in Edinburgh and it has a beer garden. Now the Bullfinch is even better as Mexican food popup specialist Guisados has moved into the kitchen. Tip: Always check for specials. I like the Bullfinch for its friendly vibe and great staff. It's one of Edinburgh's pubs with a great range of beers but it's the vibe and food that makes me come back. Importantly, the Bullfinch isn't just indie beer and real ale as there are cocktails and spirits here plus soft drink options. I recommend eating if you can. There's plenty to pair with Guisados' excellent and authentic Mexican food. Thursday is Taco Day and superb value. There's a pub quiz on Wednesday so that's not the day to try and bring a large group without a reservation. Tip: Trying the walk from Leith to Portobello? Good luck and why not reward yourself with a visit to the Bullfinch which is on the Leith end of the coastal trail.

Nice Wee Pub with outdoor beer garden. Some tables covered and have heaters. Update 2023 - Went to the pub on a Saturday in June. They were having a barbeque outside and there were people both inside and outside. Great selection of beers and cocktails. Inside the music was a bit high for me and my friends but everyone else in the pub was enjoying it.

Very nice bar with relaxed ambiance, large selection of craft beers, as well as a range of very tasty and original £5 cocktails. The food is incredible with a very good selection of vegan and vegetarian options, and most dishes are gluten free. Everything was delicious, portions generous, and the prices very fair. The smoked king prawn fruit skewers were the star dish. Staff are very friendly, and the bar has different events on such as "sesh and sketch" and a pub quiz every Wednesday. Will definitely be bring friends here.

Dropped into this traditional pub on a Sunday afternoon and enjoyed a brilliant brunch. The staff was welcoming, taking time to describe the offerings on the menu and the wide selection of craft beers and ales. I opted for the oak-smoked salmon on sourdough bread accompanied by gin-pickled veggies, crispy pancetta, house labneh, and watercress. They do some interesting burgers and sandwiches too among other things. The pub is a great place to relax and chill out. Check out their music and quiz nights. I'll be back for sure.
