Teuchters Landing
The Scottish Bar & Pub Awards named it 2024's Best Drinks Offering, and SLTN gave it Best Outdoor Area the same year.1
Why go
The drinks award went to the bar itself, and it is a win, not a shortlisting.1 SLTN's 2024 roster carries the Best Outdoor Area win and puts the bar highly commended for Craft Beer Bar; its 2025 roster puts it highly commended again for Independent Pub/Bar, behind The Oak Tree Inn at Balmaha.2 The Scotsman's whisky round-up counts more than 100 bottles, single malts, blends and international names.3

Verdict
should-visit — A Leith Shore bar that the Scottish Bar & Pub Awards named 2024's Best Drinks Offering, which is the single most useful thing anyone has said about it. The trade's other body backs the same reading: SLTN gave it Best Outdoor Area in 2024 and put it highly commended for Craft Beer Bar that year and for Independent Pub/Bar in 2025. The Scotsman's whisky round-up counts over 100 bottles behind the bar, and The List points at Cullen skink and stovies when the weather is against you. So it works twice: a riverside beer garden in summer and a whisky-and-soup room in winter. What keeps it off must-visit is that all of it is award rosters and round-ups, with no scored review anywhere.
