About this space

Port of Leith Distillery is a working craft distillery that combines production spaces and a public bar, giving the venue a production-led hospitality character.

Design: The interior is industrial-contemporary, featuring exposed metal framing, high ceilings and warm timber seating. Natural light and restrained finishes keep sightlines open and the layout uncluttered.

Features: The venue includes an on-site bar with an extensive whisky and cocktail menu, an open kitchen, and tasting flights; guided distillery tours and samples are regularly offered. The space provides Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a PA system, allowance for own music or DJs, step-free access and accessible toilets, and there is parking available outside.

Ideal for: Groups seeking a relaxed, drinks-led evening or a casual seated dinner in an informal, production-focused setting.

What guests say: Tours at the venue are informative and include generous, well-explained tastings led by enthusiastic guides. The bar's whisky selection, cocktail menu and kitchen dishes receive consistent positive comment.
