The List

Leith Arches

We’ve been in the bar and restaurant business for over 10 years and have taken a variety of unloved bars and restaurants and transformed them into some amazing spaces and venues. We’ve had some great success stories from our adventures at the Earl of Marchmont, the White Horse, Renroc Cafe, the Old Chain Pier, Bar Brig, Smoke & Mirrors, The Movement House and our newest addition, Hare of the Dog. We love taking unloved spaces and bringing them back to life with our own unique style and flair and the Leith arches is no exception to this rule.
