I feel The Finch pub on Bath Road is a triumphant addition to what was a forgotten corner of Leith; it has transformed the area into a prime destination for beer lovers like myself. From my perspective, the pub has a unique and stylish mid-century kitchen aesthetic, with a "dilapidated chic" charm that I found very appealing. The interior is bright, airy, and welcoming, an effect created by large windows that fill the light-yellow space with sunshine. I found it has a distinctive and homely vibe; it feels like a local pub but boasts a world-class beer selection. I particularly loved the tiny, charming snug, which I thought was a wonderfully romantic spot for a quiet drink. The place was bustling, even for a weeknight, which is a clear sign of its well-deserved popularity.
At present, The Finch doesn’t serve food, which allows for an undivided focus on the drinks, and in this, I believe it truly excels. For me, the pub is a major draw for any fan of independent and craft beer. I was impressed by the large blackboard displaying an extensive beer menu, featuring at least a dozen excellent choices from both local and national breweries.
My overall impression of The Finch is overwhelmingly positive. I found the staff to be quick, attentive, and knowledgeable; they were more than happy to provide recommendations from the impressive drinks menu. I would highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates independent craft beer and a pub with genuine character. In my opinion, it has successfully created a wonderfully welcoming atmosphere and has become a must-visit location.
