Dukes Leith

Dukes Leith brings a slice of American sports-bar energy to the heart of Leith, blending a cosy neighbourhood welcome with a big-game atmosphere. Since 2020, it's been the local byword for wings, cold drinks, and live sport done right, with the action beamed across three 50-inch screens and the buzz of regular live music, pub quizzes, and themed nights.

In the kitchen, they take wings seriously: 24-hour brined, double-floured, and tossed your way, from fiery to tangy to smoky. Crispy battered cauli-bites offer crunch and character for plant-led palates, while heaped sharing plates are crowd-pleasing - think buffalo fries slicked with cheese, crumbled blue cheese, buffalo sauce, and ranch, or Dirty Mac fries draped in mac and cheese with a sprinkle of spring onions.

For something heartier, burgers lean indulgent and hands-on. The Dukes burger stacks buttermilk-brined chicken thigh with lettuce, cheese, chipotle mayo, and a crispy hash brown - while the Buffalo Soldier burger turns up the swagger with spicy buffalo glaze and truffle blue cheese.

Sides keep spirits high, from loaded hash browns (basic or bouji browns with Parmesan, truffle mayo, and chives) to halloumi sticks primed for dunking.

Over at the bar, refreshing cold drinks are poured to soundtrack lunch, dinner, and late-night sport and sociability. Rally the crew, grab a perch by the screens, and let the wings do the talking - game on, appetite ready!
