Port o'Leith (tel 554 3568, 58 Constitution St). A good, old-fashioned, friendly local boozer, the Port is swathed with flags and cap bands left behind by visiting sailors - the harbour is just down the road. Pop in for a pint and you'll probably stay till closing time.
Carriers Quarters (tel 554 4122, 42 Bernard St). With a low, wooden ceiling, stone walls and a fine old fireplace, the Carriers has all the historic atmosphere that its 18th-century origins would imply. It serves real ales and malt whiskies, and has folk sessions on Thursday nights.
The King's Wark (tel 554 9260, 36 The Shore). Set in a fine old 17th-century building, the King's Wark is a very cosy, candlelight-and-fireplace sort of a pub, with an upmarket clientele and excellent food and wine.
The Starbank Inn (tel 552 4141, 64 Laverockbank Rd). Along with the Old Chain Pier, the Starbank is an oasis of fine ales and good, home-made food on Edinburgh's windswept waterfront. In summer there's a sunny conservatory and in winter there's a blazing fire to toast your toes in front of.
