The latest addition in the effort to turn Leith Walk into Edinburgh’s premier street for welcoming and quirky local boozers, the Brass Monkey is the sister venue of Drummond Street’s long-established original branch, a bar with a mainly studenty crowd and a bunk-seated cinema in the back room showing classic films at 3pm every day. The newer bar also has a big screen, showing films at 1pm if it’s busy enough, but its catchment demographic is as broad as its odd Art Deco-meets-classic Oriental décor. There’s a dartboard, a quiz on Monday, an open-access jam session on Tuesday and some above-average pub meals, including pizzas and juicy home-made beefburgers, the latter of which are on a two-for-£8.50 offer during weekday lunchtimes.
