The Carriers Quarters — Restaurant in City of Edinburgh

As Leith becomes more gentrified it is good to see that pubs like The Carriers Quarters has not changed one little bit. A good old fashioned boozer that many will walk past without realising it there. From the outside it looks like it might be a tiny bar but it has large seating area at the back. If you are looking for a bar to watch the footy you will get a good seat in here as well.

Good selection of beers from various local breweries such Moonwake, and the prices have stayed reasonable. One of those pubs where you will prop the bar up and end up talking everyone. popular place for people working around Leith Docks and the like so you will hear some...

I was first directed here by friends who knew about my love of pies. It's a little bit well known for its pies. But don't stop there, the rest of this little pub is quaint enough to merit its 4 stars from me. I've never been in when it's full and wouldn't like to as it's a cosy floor space. The staff are always friendly and helpful, drinks reasonably priced too. The entrance is tiny and you almost need to duck your head, I like the authenticity of that, it adds a bit of history to your visit. There's a bigger snug bit at the back with an open fire so you can sit and sing sea shanties ( no i didn't either) Overall, cute and authentic of...

I'm not a fan of this place. It's especially awkward at night when the punters specialise in getting extra drunk and spilling out to the road outside. Loud crowd of drunks outside the pub in Leith? It's probably Carriers.

Inside is a bit pokey but better around the back in the cave. I like the fire but it gets so loud and only takes one drunk to ruin the atmosphere.

The food menu suits the drinkers. Don't expect the quality of all the gastro pubs nearby but probably better than the true drinking holes...
