About this place Dreadnought Leith

Dreadnought is a traditional pub on North Fort Street in Leith, a long way from the Pink Triangle but a known LGBTQ+-friendly local. The Skinny profiled it in June 2025 as "Leith's LGBTQ+ local": its owners are allies who campaigned for a rainbow Pride bridge in Leith, and the pub won a PubAid award in 2024. It is a real-ale and community pub, not a gay bar, with a mixed local crowd. Google lists it open from 4pm on weekdays and 2pm at weekends, until 1am on Fridays and Saturdays. It scores 4.8 from about 660 reviews.

Voted Camra pub of the year for Edinburgh for 2018, 19, 20, 22 and 26, this place is a must visit for all beer lovers and beyond. Ultra friendly and inclusive, no frills and no judgement, just beers, good music and friendly service. Always has a dozen beers on tap and dozens and dozens of cans available. Toby the owner is a real champion of the local brewing and alt. scene, and a Legend himself. Plenty of varied nights too, quiz nights, themed nights and oddball events. Long live the Dreadnought!
