Malones Leith

I spend a lot of time in Edinburgh, but on this layover I decided to join friends for a walk to Leith in search of a quieter pub with ALL the atmosphere. Malone's definitely delivered! Service was excellent. So friendly! There was a variety of televised sports, none of which was of interest to me personally, but others were certainly enjoying them. Food was super! Far better than food in any average pub. More reasonably priced than what we'd get near the Royal Mile where we stay, too. There was an available table large enough to very comfortably accommodate our group. Laid back, cozy.... A great way to spend a couple hours eating, drinking, and chatting. Plenty of craic to be found here!

I come once a week and always have such a blast! The regulars are usually such a great crowd who are always up for a chat, the food that I've tried has been super tasty, and the staff are fantastic!!! Taighe, Fiona, Leonie and Alice are who I see most often and have always been super welcoming and happy to help with anything. Had a few moments as you do in any bar where people can be a bit too drunk or out of hand. The staff are always super on it and I've never felt unsafe. The environment always feels clean and comfy. Plus, free nachos with any Quiz Monday booking is such a fab deal, especially since the quiz is free to join! For only having been in Leith for a year, it feels like it would be empty without it.
