Old Eastway Tap — Pub in Edinburgh

Old Eastway Tap is a craft beer bar and pub on Leith Walk in Edinburgh's Leith neighborhood. The venue occupies an industrial space with exposed brickwork and steel beams, contributing to its gritty urban character. It’s known for over 30 rotating craft beers, particularly ABK from its German tap room concept. Locals use it for casual drinks midweek or as a weekend social hub. With step-free access, power outlets, Wi-Fi, and accessible toilets, the venue is fully inclusive. A short drive away from Edinburgh city centre, it’s convenient for visitors but not walkable.

Old Eastway Tap sits in a former industrial building with exposed brick, steel beams, and dim lighting that creates its cozy atmosphere. Once a warehouse district in Leith's working-class past, the space now serves craft beer under a German tap room model focused on ABK beers. The decor mixes retro neon signs with reclaimed wood tables. Noise levels are high due to frequent gatherings and packed crowds during peak times. With step-free access, wheelchair-friendly layout, accessible toilets, power outlets, and Wi-Fi across indoor and outdoor areas, it’s fully inclusive for all visitors.

Old Eastway Tap is best for informal weekend drinks or post-work visits. It serves craft beer with over 30 options including ciders and real ales at prices between £4 and £7, ideal for quick drinks or extended evenings. Its signature feature, cozy indoor and outdoor seating, supports solo visits and group meetups. Locals often visit Friday evenings or Saturday afternoons when music nights draw crowds seeking a lively but relaxed vibe.
