One of my favourite locals! Good for food, music, films, cheap booze, monday night pub quiz, meal deals, friendly clientele, fab staff and of course the amazing Monkey Marys! Brass Monkeys version of the hangover saviour, the best bloody mary I've ever tasted - FACT! Introduced a lot of friends to the Monkey Mary and they are now strong fans! Very reasonably priced at around 3.80 too! They have everything in there: vodka, red wine, port, tomato juice, tabasco sauce, herbs, spices... lovely! So next time your dying of the ultimate Sunday hangover, the cure is at Brass Monkey! Enjoy! Ok, enough of the MM, the rest of the joint is cool too! Funky posters on wall, sultry red lights over the bar, films, music vids or rugby showing none stop, missed match furniture and a collection of board games to while away the night. The Monday night pub quiz is also very popular and a good laugh. We won the drinks round once! Well worth a visit to shake off the Monday blues and continue that weekend feeling! I love the Brass Monkey in Newington and never thought the Leith pub could measure up to it, but I'm slowly coming round to liking Brass Monkey Leith that little bit more than the orginial head honcho! It's got more space, seating, you don't get squeezed in cues at the bar and there are better toilets! Well done BM Leith, I'm a convert!
