The Fort

★★★★★

“Came here for a Saturday afternoon drink after a friend recommended it. It was quiet to start but was soon filling up. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. We had a couple of cocktails which were excellent. Will be back as i really liked the pub, good addition to Leith. Dog friendly too!”

“The Fort is an absolute belter of a pub. One of those places you walk into and instantly know you’re staying longer than planned. Tucked away in Leith, it’s got unreal atmosphere — lively, friendly, and effortlessly cool without being try-hard. The drinks are top tier. If you like craft beer, this place is heaven. Quality pints, loads of choice, and always something interesting on tap. You can tell real care goes into what they pour, and the staff actually know their stuff and are sound as anything when it comes to recommendations. But honestly, the vibe is what makes it elite. Proper local energy, great chat, great music, great people. It feels like the kind of pub Leith does best — welcoming, buzzing, and full of character. Perfect for after work pints that turn into late nights. If you’re in Leith and not going to The Fort, you’re doing it wrong. Unreal pub. Will be back again and again.”

“Great addition to the area from a group of excellent local brewers. Relaxing to drink in with very friendly staff and, as you'd expect, a good selection of craft brews. My only point is made is there is no outside signage to show it's there and you can't really see inside from outside to make it obvious it's a bar”
