Came here the other night for dinner and food. Staff were, as always, on point, so friendly and helpful and personal. Food was gorgeous (it always is) and quick. Atmosphere great for a mid-week dinner. The Brass Monkey is the local that all locals should aspire to be.
Right on the limits between Leith and Edinburgh lies The Brass Monkey, one of the best places to have a relaxing drink on Leith Walk. I don’t know if it’s because the place caters to my hipster-y tendancies, but I really love the vibe of the place. Just like its sister pub on Drummond Street up in Newington, The Brass Monkey is all about the movies, with the walls covered in posters and a huge projector set up in the back room playing the evening’s film of choice. With lots of chairs and comfy sofas, you can easily find a place to settle down with a couple of pals on a weeknight.
Been here mainly for drinks but the occasions where I went for food, it was a good selection, lots of vegetarian options and nicer pub food. The staff are consistent and have a good knowledge of the drinks they offer. What I would recommend, is to book a table at the weekend as soon as it hits 5pm on a Friday, it fills up fast.
