<\/a><\/p>\nFor anyone who loved Nobles, take a breath. The fantastically gorgeous interior is untouched. The magnificent brass fittings and elaborate stained-glass windows are all still there, gleaming. It remains one of Edinburgh\u2019s most beautiful pub interiors.<\/p>\n
The main difference, naturally, is the branding. The space has been updated with Bellfield\u2019s colours, and the fantastic bar is now dominated by their keg taps.<\/p>\n
On its first night, the pub was a full house. Bellfield announced the opening to their mailing list, and Leithers turned out in force. The atmosphere was a pleasant chatter, a proper pub buzz. Best of all, we spotted several well-behaved dogs, so it\u2019s clear this will remain a dog-friendly spot.<\/p>\n
The tables seem well-suited for couples and small groups of four. A larger after-work party might struggle to find space, and it will be interesting to see if they introduce bookings in the future.<\/p>\n
The Food & Drink<\/p>\n
Bellfield is, first and foremost, a brewery. The bar is a showcase for their own beers, and we happily sampled a few. I highly recommend the Lawless Village, a crisp, refreshing pint.<\/p>\n For the opening, Bellfield had a guest kitchen, Bia. Their burgers were simply fantastic. Bellfield\u2019s main brewery, in the shadow of Arthur\u2019s Seat, operates with rotating guest kitchens, and we hope this model continues in Leith. Bia has set a very high bar.<\/p>\n Being day one, there were a few wrinkles. I saw some patrons struggling with the (re)payment systems, but the large, friendly team of staff was quick to sort things out.<\/p>\n While the spirit selection seemed a little bare, it\u2019s understandable that the focus is on the beer. The service was impressively quick, and the toilets, unchanged from the Nobles\u2019 days, were clean and well-maintained.<\/p>\n Things to do in Leith<\/p>\n Leith is one of Edinburgh\u2019s most vibrant neighbourhoods and a fantastic place to base yourself for a city break. The area is, of course, home to the Royal Yacht Britannia<\/a>.<\/p>\n It\u2019s also a hub for foodies, with Michelin-starred restaurants and dozens of independent cafes and bars.<\/p>\n Transport<\/strong> The new tram extension connects Leith directly to the city centre and the airport. For travel from further afield, Edinburgh Waverley and Haymarket stations are the main hubs. You can book tickets via TheTrainLine<\/a> and save with a Railcard<\/a>.<\/p>\n While parking in Leith is tricky, using a service like JustPark<\/a> can help you find a spot. If you\u2019re planning to explore the rest of Scotland, hiring a car from Rental Cars<\/a> is a great option.<\/p>\n Accommodation & Attractions<\/strong> Leith offers everything from luxury apartments to quirky holiday lets. You can find a range of options on Booking.com<\/a> or, for a self-catering stay, check Sykes Holiday Cottages<\/a>.<\/p>\n If you are visiting, remember to book travel insurance<\/a> before you go.<\/p>\n For entertainment, the Edinburgh Playhouse<\/a> is just a short bus or tram ride away. To see all the city\u2019s sights, a GoCity<\/a> pass can be a great way to save money on attractions.<\/p>\n Overall<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
