Situated just 250 metres from the beach, this is a reincarnation of a long standing Portobello bar. There is a strong focus on food: meals are served all day and the large restaurant area off the main bar is often full. Good menu selection with main courses around £15 (May 2023) often using locally sourced produce including Findlay's of Portobello veggie haggis burgers. There is a separate snug-sized TV room with photos and pictures of old Portobello. The beer garden features chalets for eating and drinking.

Information for this venue is provided by the Edinburgh & South East Scotland Branch of CAMRA
