Tiplists

Take a crawl around the Walk and you'll be well watered from top to toe with an ever-expanding collection of bars that have exploded onto one of Edinburgh's most happening streets, with plenty of places to eat in between.

Boda Bar
It's hard to find fault with this convivial Swedish-themed watering hole with lots of community events and a warm welcome.

Joseph Pearce's
Ever dependable, Pearce's is all things to everyone, from drinking students to dining workers and parents taking advantage of the daytime kids' licence.

Leith Depot
Currently under threat of re-development, this is a much-loved bar and gig venue which epitomises the idea of a pub as an all-welcoming social hub.

The Lioness of Leith
A rare kind of pub that feels right at any time of day and where the cocktails as delicious as their superior new burger menu.

The Safari Lounge
Slightly more than a stone's throw from the Walk, this outstanding and versatile local outlier in Abbeyhill is very much worth making the effort for.

Woodland Creatures
Otherwise known as the unofficial brewery bar of Krafty Brew, expect a hipsterish but unpretentious atmosphere straight out of Berlin's Kreuzberg.
